I never really understood why St Patrick’s Day is such a big deal. I’ll tell you the truth…I don’t even know WTF it’s about. I generally gather it’s more of an Irish holiday…and there are a lot of people of Irish descent here in the USA. It seems like it was a much bigger deal in the 80’s. You had to wear green at school, or get pinched.

St Patrick the patron saint of Ireland.  He drove all the snake off the emerald isle (according to legend).  Also he was responsible for the Christianization of Ireland.  This is the day they celebrate him.

St Patrick’s Day seems to encourage drinking more than most holidaze - I'd guess that's the reason it's popular

I like Guinness

Mucking up the ecosystem and creating all that guilt from normal human appetites?  A real saint of ill repute, he is!

St. Patrick's Day is the same as Cinco de Mayo - just an excuse to party.  
March didn't have any other real holidays.
Many Irish in NYC, Boston, and Chicago, which are big, influential cities when it comes to the pop-culture zeitgeist.

I'm creating All-Time Minnesota for Whoa Nellie and I have an opinion question for yous guys.

For their pass-catchers (WR/TE), I'm torn between including one of the guys Tanner Morgan threw to (Bateman) or including 2 TEs (Spaeth and Utecht).
The WR was more productive, but I feel like Minnesota has a strong TE history and it makes sense to include 2.

Am I off on thinking that?  What say you?

New trend... There's always been the "Jeep wave", but this was randomly started in 2020 and I guess it took off. 

My Jeep has never been ducked. Of course, given that it gets driven only a couple times a month and is often parked in my company's parking structure when I do drive it to the office, that's probably not a huge surprise.

2020 was a strange time

Allison Parliament, from a small town in the Canadian province of Ontario. - there ya go!

my Father wouldn't have appreciated ducks on his jeep and it never happened to me when I was driving it.
Obviously long before 2020

We've got maybe a dozen ducks floating around the front dash of our Jeep, presumably left by other Jeepers on the handle or the hood over the past few years.  I've even taken some and given them away to other Jeeps in parkings lots on a couple of occasions.
