Happy St. Patrick's Day!

[MerrisHawk]

Here's a tidbit I picked up today:

The focal point of Irish social life is the pub. This is a term derived from "public house," meaning the gathering place. At most pubs, beer is served by the pint or quart, which are abbreviated "P" and "Q" on the patron's bar tab. If a bar owner is concerned that someone is running up too much of a bill, he might tell the person to "mind your P's and Q's." A tab was often called a "scot," and if the owner lost the scot, the drinker owed nothing and got off "scot-free."

Sounds like a good day to spend some yap time with a few buddies.

Anyone else have something special for today?

Interesting tidbit...and I'm all about an Irish celebration... but I have to say, the hell with St. Patrick. This is also an interesting tidbit but those snakes he drove out of Ireland were the Druids. Bummer for the pagans :(
Blessed Be and Namaste!

p.s. I hope nobody's too upset, I just had to let it out.

Not upset at all. Whether he was right or wrong, it makes for one heckuva party. End results are the best I guess. Happy St Patty's day and blessed be to all. Thank you both for helping me learn something today. It makes my day better that way.
