St. Patrick's Day is a Catholic's favorite holiday--a match made in heaven
or hell.
They get to:
drink,
get drunk,
wake up,
feel guilty, then drink
to forget the guiltiness the next day.
Eph 5:18Web-surfing as anesthetic
Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "I wonder how many people use the internet as a way to forget about or avoid the difficulties of their day, even if it's just boredom? Do you think it helps one cope, or makes things worse?"
Don't you use
alcohol for that, Catholic?

Got your green beads
and party hat
on?

"I'm wearing a stunning green top, as a matter of fact." [chuckle]
I knew you were.
"We'll have a houseful tonight for corned beef and cabbage and potatoes and
rolls and yes, Irish coffee with Jameson's whiskey and whipped cream."
Of course you will. How many will have lampshades on their
heads by evening?
We know a man who recently got the fish fry job for Lent at his Knights of
Columbus meeting hall located in the downstairs of his church (Rev. 3:14–22).
The church had asked members to stop drinking at the meetings because the former
head of the fish fry, an old guy, had gotten so drunk that he stumbled over the
pot of oil and it fell down. He could have been badly burned
--but
no reason to stop drinking.
The new guy who got the job is in his 40's. Everyone thinks he'll do a better
job. He now brings his booze in styrofoam cups, by the way. Mt 7:16, 1 Co
6:9-10.
[Lampshades?] "None. They're not really in style this season, you know. I like your hat, BTW."
Thank you.
I'm celebrating my heritage today. St. Patrick was Welsh.
[Drunkard Catholic friend] "Give him time. He's young yet."
The Bible never says "give him time". In fact, it says now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation (2 Co 6:2). What if one of your guests leaves and gets hit by a Mack truck?
