i agree leith. st. patties parade should be on st. patties day. logical enough.
if you want to party for a week leading up to the holiday go ahead, but the parade should be the big shabang-grand-finally. not that i really care either way. :shrug:

Yeah well no one ever accused the Irish of being logical right?
Well San Diego\'s parade is on St. Patrick\'s Day every year. You know the day it\'s actually celebrated?
No matter what day of the week it falls on and is held rain or shine. Usually don\'t have to worry about that.
Just seems pretty inconsiderate to the culture to celebrate a holiday on a different day than it actually is just because it\'s convenient. I mean why bother celebrating on the 17th? Seems like it lessens the actual holiday.
It is St. Patrick\'s Day but still if you\'re gonna give it holiday status w/ a parade and all............
so by that reasoning we should ONLY celebrate the 4th of July on that day and all other fire works and picnics are a cultural inconsideration..................

Who celebrates the 4th of July on any day but the 4th?
I know I have always celebrated the 4th on the 4th. If you mean how federal buidings are closed on fridays etc. well are the parades then? No they are on the 4th. At least here in California as long as I have been alive.

ahhhh now your just arguing to argue...... you win leith. Anyone who is blasphemous enough to celebrate a holiday on any other day then said set date are idiots, period
leiths law section 54 by law 7 appendix 5b
Holidays should be celebrated on the day they are on. As for a Federal Holiday that is observed, its just a way for the government employees to get an extra day off each year...

I do not understand what point your trying to make, elaboration requested please.

town fireworks, weekend picnics
I see what you are saying now.
as someone of irish descent, i would be happy to celebrate st. patty\'s day a few times a year :disco:. although i am not always proud of my green side, my god, does that side of my family know how to party! much more so than the communist russian side. i will take as many drunken parades, fireworks displays, watermelon and barbeques a year as i can.

[-]Well, if it\'s done on a weekday, people are stuck in the traffic it creates rather than on the street enjoying it.[/-]
Oh wait, I\'m getting sucked into one of
these arguments. Nevermind.

Another Irish/Russian? Wow! First I\'ve met outside of my family. Only in my family the Russians are the crazy ones. My cousins who were born over there especially.
That\'ll make 3 Irish/Russians!
Ha! We might just amount to something after all.
#1 Leith stop talking enough already outta you
This is the way it is done in new haven, I guess you have to be glad you don\'t live here
b/c then you would be stuck and have to celebrate a St. Patty\'s Day parade on a day it wasn\'t
#2 California is great, california is #1, I wish I lived in california to celebrate holidays on the day they are really on.
#3 you are always fighting up hill, the majority of the folks on .info are from the east coast so in a nice way "shove it up yer ass"
#4 I\'ve seen you before, you are pretty scrawny, if you come to CT. you might get your ass kicked by another scrawny ass Aruny.
#5 Jordan and I went to the St. patty\'s parade, it was filled with a lot of idiotic people, one girl was humping a guy(with clothes on) in the middle of the route before the parade started. There was almost a huge fight in front of us and then the guys made up.
we had a huge crew of lesbians, next to us I felt like I was in San Francisco leith! Then I almost got in a fight-surprise!
When the female football team(or whatever it was marched by they all started cheering.
we went to the anchor>sullivans>senor panchos to eat!
LONG LIVE GUINNESS
LONG LIVE PARADES ON THE WRONG DAYS
I LOVE LIVING MY LIFE ASS BACKWARDS!

Ahh such a breath of fresh air. I am so glad you made one of your oh so rare appearances on the board to slam me. I feel special.
It\'s so funny some of you think this really matters enough to jump all over me for it.
Really it is.
We on the right coast know how to party!! Why spend one day celebrating when you can spend a week. Sorry.....
exactly!!
parade antics were in full force yesterday. larger crowd than last year. (last year, the rain scared people off i think). Good times tho. Nothing like being drunk at 4 pm.
