The pinching thing is news to me. No Irish ancestry here (although I come close -- one set of great-great-grandparents immigrated from Anglesey), and I've been criticized both for wearing green and for not wearing green on St. Patrick's Day.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

I was one of the few people wearing green here at work. The subject never came up.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
I credit my Irish ancestors for green eyes and the comparatively high alcohol tolerance I used to have; the former means I'm always dressed for St. Patrick's Day.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Didn't wear green on St. Patrick's Day because a) not Irish(wrong end of Europe) and b) wasn't going to any celebrations.(Used to sometimes go see a musician friend play, but not in the last couple years )

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I dressed Peanut in green on St. Patrick's Day because if someone pinches my daughter, they're going to get punched. I remember getting pinched in school - never liked it.

Mine just got cancelled for the second week in a row. Apparently the two people at the client company we're supposed to have status meetings with are never near a phone or computer at the same time.

At least this week's meeting lasted as long as it was scheduled for, and no longer.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
