    This is off topic, but I'm wondering what football fans in Ireland do for St. Patrick's Day. We have a lot of people of Irish descent in St. Paul where I live and they have a family type of parade. In days past there used to be a lot of drinking in the bars downtown. I don't know if that custom continues. Last year I happenned to be in Chicago and they have a huge parade down there, led by an old man in a green kilt who flashed the crowd every 100 yards or so. He enjoyed himself so much that when he got to the end of the route he went back to the beginning and went through again.
