Absolute Blue Celebrates

While we wait patiently for Cinco de Mayo, the calendar has blessed us with yet another gift, this time dedicated to a semi fictitious deity that may or may not have driven snakes that could have not existed from a land where they could have never been in the first place. Of course it’s St Patrick’s day, dedicated to drinking, debauching and rebauching. Brought to you by the Irish, who you just have to love. They cry during beer commercials and even their coffee will get your drunk. After all, it’s not like we need a reason for our revelry, but it does help to explain it to local law enforcement. It’s time to bring out the green and be on the alert for any anatomically correct garden gnomes. And we bring you other St Patrick trivia as well:

St Patrick was originally the patron saint of Ireland, then demoted to patron saint of asparagus, and finally the patron saint of hangovers after that last incident with the Pope.

St Patrick’s Day was not always celebrated on the 17th. Precise calculations based on the Mayan, Aztec and Julian calendars, then adjusted for daylight savings time, leap year and the moon’s gravitation pull on the earth timed this down to the second. It was then changed to allow more shopping days before Christmas.

Leprechauns are actually evil and foul smelling creatures. The image we have today is due to a positive marketing campaign to improve their image and sell us more cereal.

The leprechaun was not the first choice for the St Patrick’s Day mascot. Santa was already taken and negotiations with the Easter Bunny had come to a standstill. After trying to claim the Tooth Fairy off waivers and losing the Thanksgiving turkey to free agency, the leprechaun was signed for a minimal signing bonus and limited incentives.

And just so you know, everyone is welcome at our parade. Leading the way will be Michael Fitpatrick and Patrick Fitzmichael…

We have a full holiday weekend in store for you beginning Friday at Lou’s Blue from 9:30 to 1:30…

Then an unusual Saturday night in Satellite Beach at Neptune, formerly The Cove, from 9 to 1…

And a return to SBI Sunday from 2 to 6…
