St. Patty's Day.

You had better be drunk in an Irish Pub. Like me.

 

Happy Wayne Day. Gulp.

 

Patty's?

 

We tend to be a little informal on this side of the puddle.

 

To be sure.

So that's why that guy wished me a Merry Christmoose.

 

Looks like the only thing I actually did was say St. Patty's day. I got drunk, not plastered. The author's comparison to an informal version of Independence Day was pretty bad, though. I would've said Indie Day.

Is that the only begotten son of the almighty Moose, sent to earth to forgive the sins of all moose-kind?

 

I opted to get shithoused on St. Patrick's Day Eve, so I reigned it in a bit on St. Patrick's Day Proper.

 

I'm an atheist, so I don't celebrate religious holidays.

 

St. Patrick's day became a public and not exclusively a religious holiday 109 years ago. Now you have no excuse.

 

I... um... er... Separation Of Church And State! Yeah...

 

Since Christmas is derived from Christ's Mass (with "Mass" referring to the Catholic service and not what gives his body weight), Christmoose should mean Christ's Moose. Moose Christ would be what/who you are referring to.

 

Christ's Moose Knuckle is my favorite post-industrial ska band.

 

You're forgetting the reciprocal use, Christ Jesus, meaning "The Messiah Jesus" is also acceptable - so Christmoose would invariably mean "The Messiah moose."

 

(They don't.)

 

That would be why I didn't say "Happy St. Patty's Day!" to the live entertainment at the pub I spent most of the 17th in. He was an Irish national.

 

Whenever a band asks for any requests I always yell "play window shopper" regardless of the style of music the band plays. To give this band their due the lead singer was a good sort and played it, guitars and drums and all. One of my favourite moments sitting in a pub in Ireland.
