Have a Blast as You Celebrate This Wonderful Irish Holiday

Do you like getting pinched? If so, just forget to wear green on St. Patrick's Day and some good friend of acquaintance of yours is likely to pinch you as a friendly punishment for not wearing green, or maybe they will do it just because they want to pinch you anyway.
Just make sure that the pinching occurs outside of the workplace because you cannot be too careful these days. If you do get pinched, try to see if you can upgrade to a kiss or two.
For a real blast on Saint Patrick's Day, try to head on over to Chicago. You are in for a special treat because in Chicago they dye the Chicago River green to celebrate this great holiday. You can read more about this over at the csmonitor.com web page dedicated to this event.

Love the picture of the river. Nice touch, Darrin!
The chicago river is dyed green! Shocking. How do they remove the green or do they just wait for it to disappear into the environment?
