Party like it's St Patrick's Day and Cinco mixed together. I'm gonna get really drunk.

I love the Irish.
I love the Mexicans.
Both gave me the drinks and holidays I love.
I don't know what to drink on Juneteenth but I'm gonna try.

Patrick comes from the Latin word Patreous which means ONE IN BONDAGE or a slave. The original St Patrick took people from Turkey by luring them with Turkish figs. Once in Ireland he made them kill all of the snakes off. That's why there are no snakes in Ireland and they have the densest supply of Turkish figs of any country in the world.
May 5th was the day in Mexico that jumping beans emerged from the ground every 17 years. They used captives from America Samoa to gather the jumping beans for tourist who would come in from Haiti. Well, eventually it became a custom to jump up and down like the jumping beans and then this morphed into drinking all day every May 5th and not just once every 17 years.
So you are combining these two customs which are both examples of social injustice.
It's 2020 and these both need to end.

Edit: Sorry. Enjoy your day! (:

tldr...i'm partying with my irish, mexican, and black friends tomorrow. it's friday, i still have a job, and i ain't got nothing to do.

I say drink whatever makes you feel good. I do have some friends that will be having a few of olde english, thunderbird, hurricane Budweiser, colt 45 and md20/20. And Probly with black&milds in no particular flavor. As far as when the news got to Texas I have no idea if this day was celebrated with drink or not.

No need to drag Mad Dog into the discussion

Any drink specials tonight?

I'm In Utah, there won't be much celebrating here, IYKWIM.

Malt liquor and courvoisier

2020

If there ever was a year to drink it...

It's Friday!

• No real plans over here. I'm way up in hours so I'm checking in to a meeting at 1:30 and punching out afterwords.
• Tried the whole mask thing at Publix this morning
• Never again! It's stuffy and now I have a headache
• Directional arrows on the floor suck too unless the goal is to have everyone walk by more people than they would have otherwise passed.

Have fun out there!

You write like the kind of dumbass Karen who thinks a mask at the grocery store causes "headaches".

You've got it the wrong way around, Karens are the ones who lose their **** when someone isn't wearing one.

In-laws are visiting. They trash my house faster and make more noise than my 2.5 and 6 month old kids could ever hope to. Glad the kids get to see them, but it stresses me the hell out.

Last night AliasWife03 made the comment that when they're here I disappear into my office. I agreed and definitely try not to, but told her I can't deal with the running commentary on everything. Like last night while doing dishes I turned on The Last Crusade just to have something on. This triggered my MIL to stop whatever she was doing and stand in the kitchen narrating the movie with her reactions.

Is this some sort of cheap version of Indiana Jones? It seems like it's a comedy. *Reads aloud signs on the screen* What is the significance of that cross? Oh, is that his dad? His classroom is full of women staring at him. Why is that? I think I've only seen two of these movies.

... for the entire time I was working in the kitchen. So I guess I'll just hide out in my office for a couple of days.

When your mother-in-law starts bugging you, just close your eyes and count to ten in Shyriiwook.

This is a solid plan.

This bugs me to no end. It's rude to 1) abandon your wife when I'm sure she's annoyed by them too and 2)ignore your in-laws just 'cause they're annoying.

How often are you around them? Suck it up and be polite. If you can't be a nice person for their short visit - you got issues.

If your wife is mentioning it to you, it's something you do frequently and she noticed it, which means your parents probably notice it too. Suck it up. Be present. Again: IT'S NOT LIKE THEY'RE VISITING EVERY WEEKEND, IS IT!?

My MIL does this too. I think there is something in womens' brains that kicks in around 60 that compels them to verbalize each and every thought they have.

Didn't you abandon your husband so that you could screw all the dudes in town?

For all you white posters in this thread I'd like your Social media Juneteenth Virtual signaling post emailed to me by the end of the day.

bradAndKaren@aol.com

Does it have to be mine or can I just pull a pic off the Internet?

There is a holiday in January and now in June is there another event in October or early November?, so we can get another holiday. It is a long stretch from the 4th of July to Thanksgiving.

Those of us that work for great companies get paid holidays for campfire day, international hangover day, labor day, Halloween, all souls day, the racist Columbus Day, native American day, bosses day, veterans day and Thanksgiving. I guess I'm a little spoiled.

So the wife and I are taking a Hill Country wine/spirits tour. So far today we have done 3 wine tastings and two distillery tastings. Purchased a bottle from each place. Back at the hotel cooling off by the pool drinking a cactus based jalepeno margarita. After dinner, likely a beer flight and briNg home a growler
