How was YOUR St. Patrick's Day? We at the Jackie Chan Memorial delayed our celebration a day in order to accommodate work schedules, but that didn't put a damper on our party one bit. Lauren and I decided to party like freshmen - for some really absurd reason I can't remember - and Mario and I missed each other at the store so we both bought the amount of alcohol we had discussed, so it was it was a pretty crazy night. I remember now why I quit partying like that. Having to stay outside on the porch so you can just turn and puke is not fun times!!! Before all that mess, though, there were lots of good times:
Irish Trivia! I found a bunch of St. Paddy's trivia online and made up a game. There were two teams and players took turns trying to answer questions. In order to answer a question you had to be the first to take your shot and put your shot glass back on the stack of poker chips without knocking over your stack. If you got the answer correct, your team got a point; if not, the other team got a guess. If it was a bonus question, the player answering the question got a SUPER COOL PRIZE!! Every round I added ten poker chips to the stack, and it got to quite a challenge for some people, Matt Teadt, to get the shot glass, Matt Teadt, back on the stack, Matt Teadt, without knocking their shit all over the place. Matt Teadt. At the end of it all the team with the most points won the grand prize: A box of Lucky Charms! Turns out the teams tied, so we all shared the Lucky Charms.
Katie had fun. Really, she did. She just had a lot of brandy, too. On the right we have the Leprechauns, who tied the Gremlins, despite the fact that I told Lauren (center) the answers to almost all of the questions Friday night.
Caroline won Silly Putty!!! Matt Teadt won 'Loons, the plastic balloons you blow up and can keep, but he was super nice and shared with everyone. Dan, the brandy man, made this lovely specimen.
Now, it wasn't all drinking. Caroline and I made some awesome potato and leek soup, except I couldn't find any leeks, so we used baby vidalias. How's that soup, Caroline? Mario fried some ham, and Matt Teadt, the bad Jew that he his, tucked right into that.
Okay, so there was more drinking than eating of Irish foods. I don't think Lauren liked the brandy too much. Mario, it appears, liked everything except having his picture taken. Don't be shy pretty boy, you're a star!
The morning after. Jake's a little rough around the edges sometimes, but we just take him out back and hose him off and it's all good. Bethany won a racetrack with a little red car in the Irish Trivia game, but it seems she would rather use the track as feet cuffs. That kinky wench. I like it
So here's to partying like a freshman. I don't want to do it for a long, long, long, long fucking time. But in all, it was good times.
Erin Go Bragh!
