This Irish lass hates green t-shirts.



Backstory

I went ice skating yesterday on University of Penn's campus. There were people in green everywhere. There was hail yesterday and people were still walking around without jackets so they could show off their green clothes.

Everybody is not Irish on St. Patrick's day. Not even St. Patrick.

Perhaps, everyone WANTS to be Irish on St. Patrick's Day:-)

Wench says,

It gets to me how people use this one Irish holiday that we have as an excuse to dress like fictional characters and get obscenely drunk, as though that and that alone is what defines and qualifies an Irish person, culture or history. Ok, I'm done, I'll get off my soap box now. =P

I'm with you. My Irish roots bristle at the slur as well.
