Top o' the day to you

By the by...happy St. Patrick's Day.

First, a blessing:

May your beer be green,
and your corned beef lean.
May you suffer not a pinch,
Nor your waist gain an inch.
And when the sun rises
There won't be any surprises.

(I added that last bit for all my single friends.)

And then...

A few Irish phrases that might come in handy, courtesy irishgaelictranslator.com:

Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Daoibh!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Píonta Guiness, le do thoil.
A pint of Guinness, please.

Tabhair póg dom, is Éireannach mé.
Kiss me, I'm Irish.

Tabhair dom a rud céanna mar atá ag an fhear ar an urlar!
Give me the same as the man on the floor.

My work here is done. Have fun. Be safe. Sláinte!
