Erin Go Bragh And Such

Hey, today is also St. Patrick’s Day, which this year is conveniently also only a few days before Easter and therefore during Holy Week, so nobody is out celebrating or drinking or anything like that.

Okay, so people have been drinking a bit. But no matter, drinking is one of our legal drugs and therefore the only harm people are doing is to themselves. And to the people they drunkenly punch. I hereby await the call for our next holiday where the main activity is taking a drug: 4/20 Day!

Oh, yeah, there’s also the Irish stuff, and the story where St. Patrick chased all the snakes out of Ireland. Hooray!

Twentysomethings Like Beer, Sex

Every once in a while a writer comes along whose talent is so, erhm, different you just can’t ignore them.

Last year we had such a person in Stephen Morse, who now has his own production company. See? O, the places you’ll go when you’re named one of Philadelphia Will Do’s People of the Year.

And, recently, I learned of another young writer who is sure to shake the foundation of the literary movement. (Or something. Have you seen how nice it is outside today? I’m not spending too much time on stupid jokes right now.) The writer’s name is Ainsley Maloney. The Stephen Morse comparison isn’t really all that apt, as he wrote about how black people didn’t care enough about black people and she wrote about how sometimes guys and girls fuck each other without really caring about each other.

Her two recent articles are headlined “The Buddy System” and “Long, green trip.” The cover stories are, respectively, about fuckbuddies and binge drinking in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. Let’s analyze them in a charticle after the jump.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

May the luck of the Irish be with you this and every day of the year. And, no, they didn’t dance with this guy — we’re not that lucky.

Immigrants don’t drink on St. Paddy’s Day

The resdigned Metro “Today’s Debate” continues to ask the tough questions:

Three of the five Planeteers agree: No. (Well, they’re certainly in some sort of superhero group, standing in formation and all.)
