madbakerSaint Patrick's Day brings out my contrariness. I always want to wear orange.
Perhaps it's just as well that I don't have any orange shirts. On the other hand, 99% of the people who flock to bars and drink green beer would not understand the reference.
Kiss My Ass, it's Irish!

Hahahahahaha!
Date: 2004-03-17 10:07 am (UTC)I forgot it was St. Patty's day when I got up, but then most of my heritage is German, so I'm not worried about wearing green.
On the other hand, not driving anywhere this evening seems like a good idea ... <g>
As to understanding the Orange thing, you're most likely correct. Most Americans (particularly those who use St. Patrick's day as a great reason to go get blitzed) probably have no idea what Orange would stand for, or why it meant you were being contrary (or to some in Ireland, an asshole who needs to die ... <g>).
