I Have Devised An Awesome Plan For My Funny Irish Shirts

By Terrence Mills


Who's going to go out and blow the roof off of some parties this Saint Patrick's Day? I know I am, and that has nothing to do with me being a borderline alcoholic. I think it has more to do with me wanting to celebrate my Irish heritage in the biggest, craziest way possible. I am going to hit every bar I know of, and wear a different funny Irish t-shirt at each of them.

My first stop is going to have to be one of those carpet restaurants that people seem to like so much. A man has got to eat, after all, especially if he plans on putting enough green beer in his stomach to kill a baby water buffalo. The shirt I've picked out for my first, most tame, spot is one of the funny Irish t-shirts that has the words "Dublin Your Pleasure" on it. That should be funny enough to get some smiles, but tame enough to let me drink and eat in peace.

I will then head to a bar to meet up with all of my drinking buddies. We'll be doing a proper pub crawl later, but we'll all meet at a neighborhood bar that's convenient for everyone. I can say right now that I won't be drinking any hard liquor this early in the evening, but we both know what a lie that is. This is probably the best time to wear my awesome "Fear The Irish" tee, since no one will be drunk enough to pick a fight with me because of it.

We will probably go to a couple of authentic Irish pubs, and I plan on wearing some authentically awesome funny Irish tee shirts to each of them. I won't be wearing anything even remotely distasteful to these places. I know my Irish brethren, and there is no way I want to instigate a fight by offending someone's cultural pride. I will wear a great shirt of mine that says, "Tis a Blessing to Be Irish."

After drinking all night and doing it well, it probably would be best for me to catch a cab and go somewhere out of the public eye. I can be a pretty great and functional drunk, but I can also be a sloppy mess if I'm not careful. This is why I'll be going to my party back-up plan, which is a Shamrock Party at a friend's house. That way, I can where whatever funny Irish tee shirts of mine don't have bodily fluids on them and I can pass out in peace.

It's not as if I drink this heavily all year long. Saint Patrick's Day is a special day for me, and I celebrate my heritage loudly and proudly. Some people have told me in the past that partying like I do on St. Patrick's Day only feeds the misconceptions of ignorant people. Honestly, I don't care what people think. I am going to have a good time and raise a toast to my ancestors. Many of them living in turmoil and pain so that I could live the way I do today, so I owe it to them to have a good time...and so do you!
