kittenpants and I last night that the threat of the whole "wear green or you'll get pinched" thing wears off sometime in high school. When you're a kid, yes, threatening, but at some point, you start to see the advantage in being pinched. Because, let's face it. If you don't wear green on St. Patrick's Day, and someone pinches you, this is a perfectly good chance to either flirt with them, or deck them. And really, I can sort all the people I know into the categories of "would like to flirt with" or "would like to punch out" with nobody left over. And what's more Irish than that?
[Poll #692804]
Now, the next goal is to determine what sort of obnoxious things we can get people to do on other holidays of similarly dubious nature. I'm thinking "wear a leek on St. David's Day, or people can throw rocks at you from atop high hills". Or, maybe not.
Also, this is the first (and probably last) ever entry that I have made that made me think, "Man, I wish I had a Welsh Pride icon!" ;)
