Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

sohmageek thought this was worth mentioning said Thu, Mar 17th 2016 at 11:43am ET

So... Last night I was inking up a few pens for today... Coincidentally I didn't look at what today was.. I had my Lamy charcoal that I had inked up with a nice ink... Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-peki - (Deep Cerulean) I had a sample and thought it would look great with the pen... it did... but I had a feeling that I wanted a green instead... so I dumped it back into the sample vial, and went for the Lamy Green (Lamy pen, Lamy green... Thought it would be an easy thing and I'd be happy with it.

I am.. BUT here's the TL;dr
I inked up 3 pens with green ink for today, not realizing it was St. Patrick's Day. :)

PS. I'm also wearing my orange shirt... which I always wear on St. Patrick's day, again forgetting today was St. Patrick's day but must have known it subconsciously as I did everything I normally do for St. Patrick's Day today...

Do you have any thing that you do every year for St. Patrick's Day... is there something that you do differently today from your normal?

I'm wearing this shirt (as I do every year)

@narfcake @sammydog01 did you wear yours as well?

We are going to see Boondock Saints at Alamo Drafthouse tonight so maybe that will be a new tradition.

I congratulate my younger brother on his awesome and excellent Irish wife, whom he does not deserve, and who is nearly a saint for putting up with him, and with our family.

And i thank her for sticking around.

I have a magical leprechaun flag that I hoist up my house flagpole. No matter what their politics are, everybody understands leprechauns.

My tradition is to avoid the bars on amateur night.

I'll do the same when locals celebrate yet another French military defeat on 5/5.
