As we all know, today is St. Pattys Day. I am Irish and today is a day that I can stuff my face with flitch and potato candy! But today has actually been supre uber kickass lucky, I wake up, get a shower with no fighting my mom on getting out of the shower, then im not late for school (I have a big problem getting to school on time), I get here and I was suppose to have ISS but they never called me for it, then first period is basicly free time because we have a speaker (whoot!), then we play dodgeball in gym which basicly means standing around talking for half an hour..

THEN I went to Comp. Aplications and did nothing, then went to world cultures did nothing, then science and went on a computer and saw my nation population was 777mil. (7 being a lucky number), Then at lunch I found five dollars just laying on the floor, and now I've been here for the last 2 periods.

Is this luck, or just coincidence?

you know I always knew that everyone had a bad day sometimes....maybe people have good days too.......I am still waiting on mine (my good day that is)

You're burning up all your luck in one day.

Tomorrow, you will get hit by a sewage truck which will fling you into a ditch and break both your legs. The ditch will fill with sewage from the ruptured truck and you will marinade nicely in filth for several hours before you are discovered and brought to the hospital. Of course, your underwear will be soiled which will be very embarrassing. After several hours of botched surgery, you will be fine except for needing a colostomy bag for the rest of your life and a naggng sexual attraction to sewage trucks.

:)

I don't agree with the luck of the Irish thing. If you look at our history, we haven't been a very lucky people at all. :(

This is possible :eek: There is a ditch right near my house.

I dont wear underwear. And I already do have a special attraction to the things, I googled my name once and there were pictures of my lastname on sewage trucks with a sexy green background.

It's almost as if I've been watching you from the bushes, isn't it? :D

Five dollars in gold.

That would blow away with a sneeze. :p

Five dollars in gold.
The Irish currency is "Euro"

Repeat after me:

Eu

Ro.

Not dollar. Or gold.

There is no such thing as luck or coincidence, all life is random, meaningless and empty. We try to impose patterns of meaning upon it because we are paranoid of being scared and alone in the universe, so we invent concepts such as luck. But, as Umberto Eco so rightly said in "Focaults Pendulum"..."To the paranoid mind, everything signifies something".

Mind you, saying that, there was this one time, with the horse at 16-1 with an appropriate name....that was when i was drunk in Ireland, as i recall. In "oh my god, it's Kill-Kenny"

:)

I'd say I lack the "Luck of the Irish", even though I am Irish in ancestry.

Proof? I was just shaving and sliced my Adam's Apple...you know how much that stings?

Hey ... I am the world's tallest leipreachán, you know.

I even like shoes!

I got that too! Today was meant to be a crap day; I had a mass of French work which I hadn't done any of because of a mass load of I.T. coursework - which I still didn't manage to finish, and my final piece for art was a write-off. I should have got quadruple detention from all my lessons, but in I.T. the teacher was away and couln't sign the coursework, Art I got to take the final piece home to do over the weekend, and in French there was a supply so the work couln't be handed in. To top it all off, Biology was spent just watching a video, and this morning I found out today was a non-uniform day (a charities day to raise money), and there were cakes and doughnuts on sale at lunch.
I've only got a distant Irish relation (great-grandfather or something like that), so that doesn't really make me Irish - so I guess It's English luck!

If you are truly Irish then you would realize you have just instulted yourself and all Irishmen.

Pad·dy Audio pronunciation of "paddy" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (pd)
n. Offensive Slang

Used as a disparaging term for a person, especially a man, of Irish birth or descent.

I presume you used St. Paddy out of ignorance. In the future I hope you will use the name St. Patrick and stop using the P word. :mad: :mad:

Bollocks.

Firstly, he used 'Patty' - which is a peculiar Americanism almost entirely unknown in Ireland.

Secondly, not all uses of 'Paddy' are disparaging in intent - I know several Irish people by the name of Patrick or Padraig who are commonly known as 'Paddy'.

You had an ordinary day, except you didn't have to do anything significant. You still went to school. You'd be dumb to count that as lucky.

Well I sort of had a lucky day on Friday. More importantly, I was able to make some other people's days lucky.
Lucky for me was having lunch with a Ballerina I met a couple of weeks ago. That was cool. Later, after the gym, I went and had dinner with a Japanese woman I know. That was also cool.
As for making other people's day, I helped a Korean couple who were completely lost. They were on the wrong side of HK island to where they needed to be. And while on the bus I found a cell phone (a Motorola V3 razor at that). I scrolled down recent calls, phoned someone up and explained I had found their mate's phone. They managed to get hold of the guy, we were able to meet up and I returned his phone. Understandably, he was pretty happy about that. Made me feel good too. Hope God was watching. Another little tick in the 'good' column there.
