Please enjoy St. Patrick's Day responsibly! Please try not to:

• Dye beer green (even if it is terrible mass-market beer that's good for nothing else)
• Get all political on each other.
• Cause trouble or pain to other people by your celebrations.

The Saint wouldn't like it. And he's what all this is about... right?   :)

But do try doing some things that lots of native-born Irish are doing this weekend, such as...

• Watching the Dublin St. Patrick's Day Festival parade live on Ireland's national broadcaster, RTÉ (or on their website as live streaming video, available worldwide)
• Going to the pub and having a good time with friends and neighbors, without necessarily getting utterly stocious

Make Saint Patrick proud of you!

(And here he is driving the snakes out of Ireland.)
