Savannah is host to some major downtown shenanigans this weekend because of the holiday. Ever hotel is booked up and the streets are already getting crowded about 10 miles out from the parade route. I missed it by two weeks last year and since I'm off for the next three days and just got paid, I think I might take a stroll towards River street and check it out.
Savannah: the town named after one third of the strippers in North America. Today is thehottest day since 1990" It is 23 Celsius right now with pure hot sun. I guess polluting at a catastrophic scale sometimes pays off.
You mean, Savannah: one third of the strippers in North America are named after this t-- nevermind. It was funnier your way.
Heading out for lunch with the roof off the car is a true luxury in March. In Canada. In short sleeves. Best winter of my life, hands down. I haven't picked up a shovel once.
I have a friend who cluelessly, totally gave his daughter a stripper name. Parents, here's a test: get a bull horn, play some Ozzy or loud Flo Rida, and then speak into the bullhorn the words "And, now, to the main stage: _YourDaughter'sName_!" If it seems to fit perfectly, you might want to go with something else. I mean, Destiny Jade? Dude, come on.
I spent a St. Patrick's Day in Savannah. It was definitely the best St. Pat's I've had! My spring break just started. But, I'm not sure how much of a break it is. We have an exam the day we get back, and we still have clinic during the week. I'm celebrating by meeting friends and drinking my face off in T-minus 75 minutes.
My aunt used that idea with a different tack - "Ladies and Gentlemen, please rise for the right honourable _YourChild'sName_". Hence, there are no Destiny Jades in our family.
I'm heading to NYC first thing tomorrow morning with the wife, via Megabus. It will be the first time either of us have been in NYC for St. Pat's. Anyone else been there for that day? Is it a complete shitshow?
Depends where you go. It's not terrible, but expect to see a lot more people staggering through the streets in loud groups. I will be staying inside, in Boston, avoiding anybody who even looks like they could have a nickname like "Murph" or "Sully."
Chicago is the only American St. Pat's I have experienced, and they did it WELL. The river was less green than I hoped, but it was electric none the less and it's not often you get to see drunken fights in the middle of broad daylight, which is pretty rad. I also got to see that building from Adventures in Babysitting, which may have been the highlight of the trip. However, whenever I ask for vinegar in a restaurant there they look at me like my face is covered in bird shit. You don't put vinegar on fries down there? What are you, a bunch of psychos or something? More stripper names: Winter Jewel Crystal Pantera Shadow Destiny Stripper Gore Ginger Vitiss
Related note: Can somebody explain to me how Norfolk State has black dudes named O'Quinn and McCauley? Wearing green? Is this that Black Irish thing I've heard so much about?
Headed to Portland for a friend's going away/St. Patrick's day deal. It's a step up from not leaving the house for days. FUCKYEAHWEEKEND WOOOOO!
Well I had a boring and unproductive day, but at least I wasn't tear gassed. This job has the strangest of dichotomies sometimes.
