On St. Patrick's Day, are we supposed to throw cabbage at the Catholics or the Protestants?

[Rabrrrrrr]

Every year I forget, and every year I suffer awful embarrassment.

1. You've been to NOLA, I see.

They shouldn't let those bead-tossing Cajuns host a St. Patrick's Day parade.

on edit: they really do toss cabbage and potatoes from floats during the parade. It's the funniest St. Paddy's parade that I have ever witnessed.

6. I thought you were just supposed to drink green beer

on St. Patricks day. I didnt even know we were supposed to be throwing cabbage. The longer I am hanging around DU, the more I learn!

until I discovered DU !

17. The drink of choice in Savannah on St. Patty's Day is Fuzzy Leprechauns

Ah...just mentioning them takes me back to the days of my youth.

9. Just remember the St. Patrick's Day secret - wear ORANGE, not green.

Swath yourself, head to toe, in bright orange and head to your local Irish pub. You will be welcomed warmly!

19. I said "warm" reception, as in, they might set fire to ya!

Beer bongs all around, though back in college, we did Carlos Rossi Sangria bongs (and the tan carpet was never the same).
