from Wikipedia:

"Patron saint of all cocktails having the word 'Irish' in them, and guardian of 'All The Tiki Bar(s?) in Ireland' according to legend, Crazy St.Pat'iki has been gaining increasing popularity on this side of the Atlantic with the resurgence of Tiki Culture in America.

Excommunicated from the Catholic Church in 1826 for serving cocktails during holy communion and blessing the congregation with the phrase; "God is like a Box of Chocolates", St. Pat'iki was later granted full sainthood after performing several bona-fide miracles, including:

  1. Turning whiskey into rum
  2. Driving the snakes out of Kathy Ireland
  3. Creating the Blarney Stone by passing it through his kidney
  4. Accidentally killing a leprechaun with a swizzle stick while blessing it.

Later, he was the first saint to receive Double Secret Excommunication for deep-frying Snicker Bars in the baptismal fount while chanting "in nomine Crisco!".

Typical greetings between adherents of St. Pat'iki include blowing paper umbrellas out of cocktail straws at tiki bars and the folding cocktail napkins into origami tikis, which are worn on the head. Other rituals include tying shamrocks into the hair of one's beard (or, in the case of women, one's armpits)."
