just so y'all know, there's not one self respecting Irishman who'd EVER refer to March 17th as St Patty's Day...
St Patrick's Day? Fine
St Paddy's Day? If you must
St PATTY'S Day? Patty's a girls name. Like Marge Simpsons's sister. Or Keith's missus...

Where I grew up, St. Patrick's Day was seen as an Irish Catholic holiday. If you weren't Irish Catholic, you didn't celebrate out of respect for the the people who were celebrating for "the right reasons". To this day, I still have a hard time participating in a St. Patrick's party... Pretty much the only time I'm comfortable is at my buddy's party... He's Irish as the day is long, proud of his heritage and, knowing my respect/feelings for 'his' holiday, has given me a lifetime exemption from any self-loathing I might feel from participating.
Happy St. Patrick's Day to the Irish!
Happy 3/17/14 to everyone else! Party as you see fit! You'll see no judgement from me!
Peace,
Mr DJA
