🍀 St. Patrick's Day and anything Irish 🍀

[Mark of Zorro]

St. Patrick's Day is coming (March 17) and to an American like me its more about celebrating anything Irish than anything else. I think you would be hard pressed to find an American who can tell you one thing about St. Patrick himself. ☘

So this thread is for anything St. Patrick's Day or Irish..... pictures, stories, humor and whatever.

☘ Have a Happy St. Paddy's Day!

A couple of interesting language points came to mind yesterday when I was thinking about this thread.

One is the use of 'messages' to refer to shopping.

Another is the use of 'ninety' as a determinate of the craic.

There are others, but those two have stuck in my mind over the years.

This one makes good use of the word "press".

When I was a kid I saw Shamrock Shake ads on the TV. I never got to have one. And now it seems they are mint flavored whereas when I was a kid they were just vanilla. Change can really suck. I like mint, but I want the original too.

The History of McDonald's Shamrock Shake

McDonald's Shamrock Shake had a unique beginning. Football teams, hospitals, and more combine to give this iconic shake it's humble beginnings.

Remember to wear green today!

And if only St. Patrick had driven the snakes out of China too, there might be more celebrating this year! (totally kidding).
