 To comemorate this great occasion, let's take a look at eleven super-nifty Irish things. I wish I could say that this year I would be able to have a pint at Ceili's Pub in Granville, BC. That place was awesome. 11. U2 While I'm not a big fan of their politically-driven music and antics, I friggin' love songs like "Lemon" and "Numb". Pretty much anything off the Zooropa album is cool in my books. 10. Leprechaun In Da Hood While I've never actually watched this movie, I always think about how retarded it is on Patty's Day. But then I think, "hey, what else would you expect from ol' Leppy?" 9. Irish Coffee Coffee and booze together at last! I like to drink my coffee black, and putting Bailey's in it makes it too creamy for my taste... but I'll take a doppio shot of Irish Whiskey instead and call it even.   Here I refer to both the Irish flag, as well as the constant struggle between Northern and Southern Ireland. Heck, The Irish Rovers even have a song of the same name. But really, what would an Irishman be without the good fight inside his soul? And that brings us to... 7. The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame The Fighting Irish are the Toronto Maple Leafs of College Football. They can suck incredibly hard and yet people will still wear their logo. And if they don't, they suffer a potato to the head. 6. The Irish Rovers If you don't listen to an Irish Rovers record on St. Patty's Day then you should be arrested. If you don't own one, gimme a call and I'll lend you one of my ten... except for my "K-Tel Special". Apparently that thing is pretty rare. 5. "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" This Patty's Day, try to keep track of how many people you see wearing shirts and hats with this saying on it. And give them a kiss for their troubles.   After you're done drinking this year and you crave a French poutine to settle your stomach, take a special second to acknowledge those potatoes, the second of two food groups of Ireland (the first being steak n' kidney pie). 3. Lucky Charms Who would've ever thought that dried-up, styrofoam tasting marshmallows could be so wonderful? 2. Irish Babes Have you seen that commercial for Irish Spring body wash? You know, the one where the dude uses it and then all these Irish babes wanna turn his crank... Irish babes are awesome. I've actually had a theory that if I take a plane from Canada to Ireland and have an Irish babe waiting for me, then make the love to her and fly back to Canada before the time zone changes that it all never really happened and my wife can't give me shit for it. She thinks I'm full of crap though. 1. Guinness Duh. What else did you expect to be number one? And that's that! Enjoy your Patty's Day. Hell, be irresponsible this year. You've earned it.
