Ya big bunch o' Irish-tiki hooligans! :) I'm part Irish, but I really should be wearing orange rather than green. FYI - if you wear orange on St. Paddy's day it means that you support the occupation of Ireland. The green wearing (and parades and such in the US) initially started to oppose English rule and for Irish to be proud of who they are and their heratage. However, if you're Italian, the day after st. Paddy's you're supposed to wear orange. I remember me mum saying it was the Italian patrons saint day (anyone know for sure?) sorry - it's awfully hard to be seriuous after a couple o' pints o' the good stuff! (GUINNESS!)
