of course we pagans invented rolling around drunk in the streets, had women in positions of great power, did not forbid homosexuality and did i mention invented rolling around drunk and spewing poetry about it in the form of the epic tale?

The reason was because of the legions of drunken louts that used to come into Manhattan early in the morning and get drunk for the entire day and would act obnoxious and vomit all over the city. Thankfully the authorities cracked down on that type of behavior many years ago. </p> I must admit that I as a New Yorker for a long time hated St. Patrick’s Day (I was always thrilled when it rained that day).
