so history channel...

[rengadeirishman]

... Is showing specials on the irish mob, the westies (a particular irish gang), whiskey, and beer.


yet none on St. Patrick.

I'm starting to think this is some sort of commentary.

 

[oggbashan]

Perhaps they're all out celebrating...

...and they know that no real Irish person will be watching the History Channel on St Patrick's Day.

That's just sad.

Micks Eat Shit.

course, you wouldn't be able to spend it.

I didn't intend to impugne you or the Irish but rather to suggest that St Patrick's Day is better celebrated in group activity instead of sitting in front of a television.

It only takes two Irish people to start a St Patrick's Day parade...

Mostly in the East. It's a much smaller deal on the Left Coast. I've no idea why, though. I mean, you have to seriously look to find an Irish pub in these parts.

Probably any ol' bar will do in a pinch, and a drop of green food coloring in your Coors and you're set. (Assuming you can't even get Irish Creme)

hmmmm. Must be a LA/OC issue. I can name half a dozen in SD without even thinking hard.

Florida is crammed with Irish and English pubs. Heck, there's two in this lil' town I live in. One of each. Food's good and lots of imported ales and stouts. Yummy.

my fave in SD is a place on Fifth called The Field. Close to Petco Park, we used to go there before games. The bar was purchased from a pub closing in the original location and shipped over along with several other pieces of furniture.

 

[rengadeirishman]

you can barely spit in baltimore without hitting an irish pub. It could also be the fact that Irish immigrants, by and large, stayed on the east coast. Boston, New York, Philly, Baltimore. Though there are a few large communities scattered around the rest of the country, (chicago springs to mind) for the most part the east coast is the place to find them.

In ther area where I live (western US) there is no large concentration of Irish people. However, there are five Irish pubs. One of the Irish pubs lost their lease. I don't know the whole story, but there was some nastiness and they suddenly had to vacate. They couldn't get movers on such short notice. So, the patrons of the pub grabbed bar stools, tables, whatever and marched down the street to a new location [several blocks away.] Then the owners hired a local handyman and, with a few volunteers, got the heavy stuff moved. The local paper had a story and photos of the whole process.
