As a pirate I have knowledge of drinking songs so here are my top three favorites.
1. Old Dun Cow
2. Rye Whiskey
3. Drinking Time by Gallows Humor
I can't find proper videos so please check them out soon as you can and Happy St. Patty's Day.

Actually He was a missionary who brought Christianity to Ireland during medieval times, and according to the myths introduced the idea of the shamrock representing the Holy trinity of God, chased all the snakes out of Ireland, and once burned a pile of icicles to keep warm.XxRyanxX said:
It's an Irish national holiday that other counties often celebrate because most countries have large populations of people whose ancestors were Irish.
Yup. She lived in Constantinople. Went to Rome to escape her upcoming arranged marriage, became a Nun, returned to Constantinople to give away her wealth. Went on a few pilgramages.katsumoto03 said:
Honestly, I'd never heard of her before either, and I'm Catholic. She's not a saint that gets mentioned often, I guess.
Who is St. Patricia?
Doesn't matter much, March 17th will be immortalized as St. Patrick's day, and there's not much you can do.

This of course barring the fact that Saint Patrick wasnt Irish. He was Spanish.
"The Chinese built the West, but the Irish built the East."
I.e. meaning we (America) have a HUGE Irish descent population (you can tell by the ginger jokes and that Will.I.Am vid). In fact, the guy that Own(ed)s the Pittsburgh Steelers is Irish (Dan Rooney). He's now our ambassador to Ireland (cause he wanted to, and when you own the Steelers and do what Dan Rooney did, you odnt say no). He's also credited with having NFL teams interviewing at least one minority for a high up position, making sure they (minorities) get a chance.
So I celebrate Rooney day on St. Patrick's day (oh yeah, I just said it, come on over ad make me change it) because he's far more important to my City (pittsburgh).
There's an expression my grandfather says a lot (the guys over 80 and fought in WW2, so I had to slightly clean it up abit)Verlander said:

Calling everyone out on a gaming forum isn't gonna solve much, though.
What a great day to have the name Patrick.
Many people in the school wished me a happy st. patricks day...
I'm quite Irish so I sort of celebrate it but still...

To all of you on the Escapist Happy Saint Patty's day! Or Paddy's day whatever.
And happy birthday to your dad.katsumoto03 said:
Well, I think his father Art was Irish. But I meant more in the way Irish Americans say they're "Irish" on St. Patrick's day. But Dans about as Irish as you can get.Verlander said:
There is in Padraig, the Irish "Patrick", hence St. Paddy's Day. St Patty's Day isn't wrong it's just a mispronunciation due to the Latin Patrick as opposed to the Irish Padraig.Jadak said:
Edit: Or even Padraic, if you want to be confused further!
I would guess that it could be a misconception borne of only having heard people say Paddy. I have observed that many American accents consistently pronounce a lot of the 't's within words as 'd's. This could make the distinction between Paddy and Patty impossible to determine if you had somehow not seen it written down or not paid attention to its spelling.
Also not knowing the origins of the name could help further reinforce this misconception due to the already mentioned lack of 'd's in the modern spelling.
