People are always surprised when they find out that St. Patrick's Day is NOT my favorite holiday. 'But Johnny, it's a drinking holiday! You love to drink! You're a black belt in beer drinking!" you might say...
And I'd say that some of us don't need a special holiday just to get shitfaced. Every day is a drinking holiday if you've got a strong enough liver. Besides, goggle told me St. Patrick wasn't even Irish! He might've even been - gasp! - Italian. All that stuff about him running off the snakes is bullshit, too.
(Fun Fact #1: There were never any snakes in Ireland for him to chase away. What a fraud! Wonder if Silver is descended from that douche.)
And don't even get me started on all that Luck of the Irish, wearing green, drinking green beer crap. Green, green, green.
BEER WAS NOT MEANT TO BE GREEN, PEOPLE!
Okay, so I admit that I haven't always had the greatest luck on St. Patrick's Day. And that's not even counting all the times Dutch and I got arrested back in the day. But that had nothing to do with me refusing to wear green.
(Fun Fact #2: 99% of leprechauns are actually just little people paid to dress up in costume, and they really don't appreciate being tossed. The more you know.)
The kids seem to think differently, however. Miguel and Robby said my luck could use some improvement, so they went to the mall yesterday and bought me a green shirt to wear to the dojo St. Paddy's Day party.
Why are we having one of those, again? Beats me! Literally no one in our dojo is Irish, except maybe those two red headed dweebs. And I don't even remember their last name, so who fucking knows.
Look, I'm a sensei, not a genealogist.
Whatever. The point is, they can take it back because I'm not wearing some lame 'Kiss Me, I'm Irish' t-shirt. Over my dead...
Wait a minute! Hang on, maybe I spoke too soon. This is actually kinda - dare I say it?
Badass!
My kids totally rock! They somehow managed to find the one St. Patrick's Day shirt on the planet that I'm actually happy to wear!
Seriously, check it out! This is the most 'me' shirt EVER.
Not sure how they think this is gonna keep me out of trouble, though. Like, my ass is very pinch-able. This is just daring someone *cough*larusso*cough* to go for it. And then I'll be obligated to punch him in the face, because I'm a man of my word.
At least when it comes to punching people.
Basically what I'm saying is, if I get arrested again, it's technically their fault.
Ta-da! All dressed up and ready to pound some green beers!
I called up Barnes and Chozen, and after the kids' dojo party, we're going on a pub crawl! Time to show the filthy casuals how it's done!
(Fun Fact #3: LaRusso's coming too, he just doesn't know it yet.)
Miguel told me where they got the shirt, so I'm gonna go buy matching ones for the whole posse. This is gonna be awesome!
Hope LaRusso's got enough money to cover our bail, because we're definitely getting arrested tonight. Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone!
Remember kids, green beer is an abomination, do not drink it.
BUT! If you do choose to drink today, do so responsibly! Unlike me.
