I'd much rather stay home and watch TV with my wife and dogs than pay money to go to some over-crowded, smoke filled, loud bar where everyone's pretending to be Irish as an excuse to drink green beer and get really drunk.

I agree with that completely. In my younger years, when I use to party a lot harder, I hated St. Pats day. It seems as though every person you bump into that one night is Irish...I just don't see how that is possible...unless they are like cockroaches...
