Or more realistically, the huge amount of beer that can justifiably be consumed on this day?

Now make them all laugh like Maurice Chavalier and give them striped shirts, and I think you got something there. I remember when Nick-at-Nite put a green tint on all of their shows for St. Patrick's Day a few years ago. So, um, what do we Catholics eat today? And why aren't I in bed yet?

I used to be clueless how we always ended up there with the 80 miles in between Dayton and Cincy! Those blissful University days!!
