So how are you all celebrating Pulaski Day?

[Critters2]

Today is the single most ridiculous "holiday" in the history of holidays. Yes, even more insipid than "Sweetest Day". How have you been honoring good ol' Cazimir? Me, I went to a 12 step meeting, did some housework, browsed the resale shops, then came to DU. Tonight, the beagle and I have dog class. Like every Monday.

What'd you do?

[Parche]

1. Only In Chicago

:hi:

[Critters2]

2. No, the whole damn state has to live with this ridiculousness.

My assistant insists on having this in her contract, "cuz it's a holiday!". So, I've had people calling me on my cell all day, because there's no one in the office...and sane people are working! The organ tuner showed up and there was no one to let him in. Apparently, he forgot it was a holday :eyes:

I'm German, and would like to know if I can have Von Steuben Day off!!

[Parche]

3. Who was tuning their organ?

Ok I know where is the finger....:hi:


I do travel for the German consulate here, she even bought me lunch today, and always
gives me a $20-40 tip everytime I deliver things!!!!!!!!

:woohoo: :hi:

[Critters2]

4. Parche!

*Insert finger here*

5. Reading DU and eating Reeses Peanut Butter Cups

Oh, and downloading LOLcat pics.

Why, what was I supposed to be doing? :shrug:

[Critters2]

7. A peanut butter pierogi would have been more appropriate.

And lolcats with Polish captions.

[BuelahWitch]

12. well I grew up in Pulaski, PA

Does that count? :shrug: I don't know if any of the snowflake babies who work in the sports bars in Lawrence, KS know how to make pierogies. :cry:

[Critters2]

16. That Pulaksi, PA fact gets you a pass. Eat whatever you want. You're good.

And if you call 'em ravioli, they can probably find some for ya.

[Taverner]

6. I drank some Anderson Valley IIPA

Does that count?

[Critters2]

9. Couldn't find a good Polish beer? nt

[Taverner]

11. Polish beers SUCK!

All variations on the Vienna Lager.

Fuck that.

I want something with hops and alcohol.

Something that tastes and feels like I'm drinking a liquid bong hit.

[Critters2]

14. On Pulaski Day, we're all Polish. So, I guess you can drink what you want. nt

[Taverner]

17. The funny thing is that I actually am part Polish

Polish, Polish-Jewish, Cuban-Jewish, Dutch and Welsh.

[graywarrior]

18. Unless it's homemade and then you're drunk for a week on one bottle.

[Taverner]

19. Well I'm down with Polish Homebrew

Please tell me there's a home brewing tradition in Poland?

Poland is the PERFECT temperate zone for hops!

[graywarrior]

22. My dad and my uncles blew up a basement making Polish home brew.

And yes, home brew is a tradition in Poland. When my cousins came over from Poland years ago, they were PISSED that they could not order a beer in a restaurant or drink in public. They were 6, 8 and 13 years old at the time. And they made their own beer in Poland.

[Taverner]

24. Wouldn't that make Polish Homebrew...um...whiskey?

[graywarrior]

26. Who in hell knows what it was.

They acted like they were on acid after drinking it.

[Taverner]

27. LOL

Hmmmm....note to self

Try Polish "Homebrew"

[graywarrior]

29. Even the worm was tripping in that stuff.

[Westegg]

8. Re-watching the pilot of "Twin Peaks," of course!

[Critters2]

10. Finally! A traditionalist! :)

[Taverner]

20. How's Annie?

[lost-in-nj]
