I almost forgot this, another goofy thing people in Murica do on this day. Radio stations all across this crazy country use this bit to fill up their morning show. So take it from me, Stinky Earl Arsemuncher, even US rednecks get to play Irish today. So go ahead and change your name for today, it's a lot more funner than drinking. And you can still celebrate the American way.
What's your name?
