Texas Aggie Ring and His Best Buddy Aggie Bear
Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring has noticed over the years that St. Patrick’s Day is bigger up here on the Jersey Shore and in New York than anywhere else he’s lived in the United States. To prepare for tomorrow, Aggie Ring made up a checklist for gathering his necessary supplies:
Irish Whiskey
Corned Beef
Cabbage
Potatoes.
I was planning on getting a smaller bottle of Irish Whiskey, but Aggie Bear yelled out as I was leaving and said that he was planning on doing some drinking with us this year.
The funny thing is, Aggie Ring doesn’t even really like Irish Whiskey all that much. But, since it’s only once a year, he allows himself an indulgence. “Besides,” says Aggie Ring. “The Pope would want us to drink it.”
It’s a bit of a chore for me because to get Aggie Ring to drink the Irish Whiskey, I have to hook him up to one of my computers, open a terminal window, type some Unix commands in Gaelic, and then reboot him. After St. Patrick’s Day, I put him back in “Redneck” mode and he’s back drinking Shiner Bock and bourbon (not together).
I’m going to have to keep an eye on how much Aggie Bear drinks. He’s been telling Aggie Ring that he wants to do a jump to celebrate. The last time he got really drunk was in the 80s and he jumped from the 4th floor of one of the Corps dorms at Texas A&M. Unfortunately for Aggie Bear, his “Bearachute” did not fully deploy and he had a really hard landing.
I try to keep an eye on Aggie Bear. I don’t want him to have to go to the emergency room at the Philly Zoo. I’ve had Aggie Bear for just about as long as I’ve had Aggie Ring. I still remember when an ROTC classmate of mine and I thought it would be a good punishment to make one of the underclassmen in V-1 carry Aggie Bear around campus all day and sit with the bear in all of his classes.
Sadly, our plan went awry when good looking A&M gals would come up to the underclassman all over campus wanting to hold Aggie Bear and then the girls would give the underclassman their phone numbers. I guess I just didn’t think the whole hazing thing through well enough. It failed miserably.
“Move sharply!” called out Aggie Bear to Aggie Ring. “St. Patrick’s starts at midnight and we’ve got some drinking to do!”
