    My father used to wear orange on St. Patrick's Day and my mom threatened to remove him from our St. Patrick's Day celebration if he continued to do so. Food is a very big thing for him, so he doesn't dare wear orange amymore when it comes around. Doesn't necessarily wear green either, but it keeps Mom happy haha

    My grandfather, who it has been said, had kissed the Blarney Stone, much to his families misgrin, used to get mad at me for wearing orange on this day.  I am wearing orange now.  Yes, I am an Irish Catholic, but the spirit of St Patrick is within your heart not on your back.  I have seen all the cable shows regarding the history of this day.  I have seen a few live New York parades.  Luck? Nah, luck has to be a curse.  Luck is a last resort that God will bestow the item or situation on you when nothing else prevails.  When nothing else works.  Pinching the green is a non irishmans way of conforming to one holiday.  Its like me wearing Italian colors on Columbus Day.  Happy St Pat's Day to all and may noone in your family ever kiss that stone.

    Well we can't pinch your green, but we can type in green!  Happy St. Pat's to you.  Hope you're all dry and happy today.
