Saint Paddy’s Day T-shirt

Saint Patricks Day T-shirt

March 17 marks the celebration of St Patrick’s Day. So to celebrate, I thought I would finally work on my St. Paddy’s t-shirt design that has been running in my head. Gone are my green beer days and feeling the need to stand in a crowd of 400 in a bar that usually holds 20. I guess when you are single, these things are more tempting.

Astute readers will notice something that I purposefully did wrong in my design. Can you point it out??

Do you celebrate the holiday and if so what do you do??

    Four-leafed clover? I like it.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Righto! Shamrock has 3 clovers but I thought I would go for a little luck and do the four leaf clover.

    His shirt appears to be yellow near the lapels, but at the cuff it’s white.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      haha…that is just the cuff of his jacket it’s not his shirt. See above!!

    Another excuse to drink…cheers 🙂

      I thought any day of the week that ended in “day” was a good excuse for you to drink.

      1. Friggin Loon Avatar

        Any day AND anytime 🙂

    I really like this design, Bearman. Maybe it’s the vibrant colors. 🙂

    My guess was that his mug needed refilling badly, but I see that wasn’t it.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      An empty beer mug definitely is an issue. haha

    I will mix green food coloring into the pancake batter and make green pancakes for my kids. and then we make shamrock shaped cookies when they come home from school. But other than that we do nothing special.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Nothing special. My mom never made me green pancakes. Hope you are a good cook or they might be puking up something green later.

    2. nursemyra Avatar

      That sounds pretty special to me midwestmom

      1. Bearman Avatar

        I know…least she could do is send us some cookies.

    great design! we’re having corned beef and cabbage tonight in celebration. I’ll also wear something green!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I remember in HS, kids would look down on you if you forgot to wear green. I would just tell them I was wearing green underwear.

      1. nursemyra Avatar

        Did anyone try to give you a wedgie to find out if you were telling the truth?

        1. Bearman Avatar

          Well maybe they didn’t start the day green.

  11. Bo Lumpkin Avatar

    I’m not Irish and I don’t drink so this is just another one of “those” days for me.
    You done real good on yer drawin’ though.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      For all my talk, I am not a big drinker either. haha

      1. Friggin Loon Avatar

        1. Bearman Avatar

          Well I did have 2 beers tonight..haha But that is my first drink in 2 weeks.

    The only thing wrong with the shirt is that I’m not wearing it at a bar right now . . .

    1. Bearman Avatar

      The real shame is that I still haven’t seen you order one for next year.

    I celebrate by thanking my poor grandmother for taking a chance on that lone broke a$$ Irishman I have to call Granda. “Happy Saint Paddy’s Papa!”

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Happy St Paddys Day PAPA!!! Now don’t forget me on my birthday.

  14. jynksie Avatar

    Now THATS clever!! Thats why you have merchandise and I don’t! You have the knack!!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Got to do something when I don’t have loveable characters that people want a plushie of like you do.

  15. notapeopleperson Avatar

    Finally, a motto I can take to heart.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Well cheers to you!!

    Great design. I saw Sheila’s answer but wouldn’t have ever picked it. I only noticed that his glass wasn’t full enough

    1. Bearman Avatar

      But was it almost empty or just not yet refilled? Optimist or Pessimist?

      1. Tony Avatar

        It had been enjoyed to the max & he was awaiting a refill, see how optimistic I can be.
        However…
        Pessimists are less often disappointed when things go wrong because they expected the worst anyway…
        But, if something does go right for them it’s an unexpected bonus

        1. Bearman Avatar

          Exactly…that is while I will remain optimistically pessimistic.

    Four leave clovers seem normal to me. We used to look for them in a field near my house and they were everywhere. In fact, it was hard to find a three leaf clover there.

    Anyway, I normally celebrate St. Patty’s day by getting completely trashed on green beer. But today I forget to even where something green. I hope my kids remembered. School sucks when you don’t wear green. Of course, half my son’s shirts are green anyway, so he’s got a fifty fifty chance of being okay.

      Four leaf clovers are Rare here. I think the typical st paddys day clover is 3 (aka shamrock). Something to do with St Patrick using it to teach the trinity or something like that.

  18. danineteen Avatar

    It was the clover? I was thinking it was the “I-rish” :S

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Look who made it in. Guess your browser is working!!

  19. SpilledInkGuy Avatar

    Before I met my wife I had never even seen a real 4 leaf clover (despite having spent the majority of my youth and well beyond looking for one). Annabelle finds one just about every other day though. She doesn’t even have to try. I don’t get it. As usual. 🙂

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Probably because you grew up in a corn field and now live by a meadow.

      1. SpilledInkGuy Avatar

        I don’t know about a corn field, but plenty of people have asked me if I was raised in a barn! 🙂
