Tomorrow morning they dye the Chicago River green and everyone comes out, packing the streets shoulder to shoulder to start drinking in celebration Literally, entire streets packed shoulder to shoulder as people watch the river get dyed and drink in merriment. It's fun!

titty_baby_ posted:Wondering about that dye. I feel like it can't be good for aquatic life to dye a river. From my understanding it is a non-toxic vegetable dye that doesn't seem to have long-term problems, but I imagine changing the water color every year has to at least be disorienting to life in the river if nothing else That being said, we were worried about Asian carp running up the Mississippi and infesting lake Michigan but you know what stopped those carp in our preventing them from advancing? The pollution. Our pollution saved us from an invasive species.

August 8th, 2004. I think we still have a goon that post here who was working on the tour boat line that got dumped on that day.

He was a stonemason by trade. We still have the family name, it's survived like 7 or 8 generations. So I'm about as Irish as Irish Spring.

Pennywise the Frown posted:There are more of the Irish diaspora in the US than there are Irish people in Ireland. I've always wondered if everyone else's Irish relatives are extremely liberal and progressive like mine. I've also wondered if it's just a normal thing for Irish people to be loving insane crazy people.

Hell yeah, good food area folks rise up (that includes the Kewpee in Racine) It is kinda fun to see happen if you haven't seen it before. I really stopped going to the event when I quit drinking because- and I'm going to be nakedly honest- I don't drink to have one or two, I drink to get wasted with friends. Hangovers after 45 are a unique and special type of cruelty.
