I had a great St. Patrick's day weekend! I got to drink a couple beers with my neighbors, watch an MMA fight with my friends, cooked up some corned beef and cabbage -- heck, I even drank some Irish Car Bombs with my mom. But I feel like I need to do it all again because I never got this....the Shamrock Pour.

Real Life 'Kiss Me, I'm Irish' [VIDEO]

Tell me this is not hilarious. I went to downtown Buffalo for the parade on Delaware earlier today, and I didn’t see anybody with a sign. But with the amount of people with red cups, I wouldn’t have been surprised if some people obliged. Would you have stopped to give either of these people a smooch?

Dale Mussen — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 10:00:32 +0000

There are many things we associate with St. Patrick’s Day – the color green, parades, shamrocks, beer and leprechauns. Very odd that in the history of Irish folklore – there have never been any female leprechauns. There’s never been any explanation of how they might come to be you might say. There is one theory [...]

Leprechauns, the faires of Irish folklore (no disrespect) are popular symbols this time of year.

Why It's Called "Corned" Beef

Dale Mussen — Sat, 17 Mar 2012 16:11:52 +0000

Corned beef and cabbage is associated with Ireland and St. Patrick’s Day as much as shamrocks, leprechauns, potatoes and the color green. But why is it called “corned” beef? It all has to do with the way it was prepared as far back as the 1600′s. “Corned” is the process of preserving meat by putting [...]

This Saturday is a big day for many of us who are Irish. I will be out performing this Saturday night at a local Saint Patrick's day celebration and I have my outfit all picked out.

Josh — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 09:00:08 +0000

I know a lot of people are real psyched for this weekend's St. Patty's day drunk-fest. Many guys I know are renting buses, readying costumes...etc...etc I, for one, want no part of it this year. I've done it many years in the past and I've just lost interest. Maybe I'm growing up...lol...or to some growing boring/old! If you take the time to Youtube--St. Patty's Day Buffalo NY....you'll find a lot of videos and 50% of them are the brawls. I know a number of guys involved in a few of the videos. The one I chose to show you is free of any of my friends/acquaintances.....This is the reason why I don't go anymore....(and it's not the bagpipes).....

My Fascination With Jameson's

John La Mond — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 17:00:30 +0000

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! My co-workers often tease me about my fascination with Jameson’s Irish Whiskey. I keep a few Jameson promotional items on my desk at work. Being of Irish descent, it’s probably a natural progression that I gravitate toward this beverage. We always have Jameson’s on hand at home when good friends come [...]
