I just realized St. Patrick's Day is Christmas for drunks. Now I have an issue with this holiday. I just spend $40 on 2 cornbeef sandwiches and 2 Guinnesses. Now IIRC the Irish are know for being not the most well off ethnic group, so wouldn't it follow that the fair offered would be on the cheap side? Not so in this day and age of the perversion of the holidays for the gain of business. I would think discounts should flow out of respect for the ethnic group's historical financial status, if not for consideration that your bar is packed today more than any other. Anyway I mean cut us a break we had to by the damn green shirts anyway... BTW I saw some ridiculous outfits this weekend.
This time of year also sees the NCAA tournament taking place. Well as usual my bracket is busted after 2 days. The only year I won anything is the year I had the vision that Syracuse (with Carmelo) would win. One of these years I am going to stop throwing my money away and just do one bracket instead of the typical 4.
*************Update***************4/1
Due to Kansas beating Ohio State, looks like I am going to win the work bracket $120 minus the $30 from all the entries gives me $90. I guess I didn't throw my money all away!
