I know about St. George slaying the dragon, but nothing about St. George day.

I wish you a happy one anyway.

What do you mean is that all!!!

How can a man defeat a flaming Dragon?  Please remember that we are talking about a period of history during the dark ages long before America was even discovered.  So this includes some of your forefathers too.  He saved our Kingdoms people from a real life monster!


Its like david defeating goliath in biblical proportions!

George <---- owns the Dragon!

Adolphus Busch (1839-1913) left the Rhineland and settled in St. Louis, Missouri. Four years later, he married the daughter of a prosperous brewer. In addition to children, this union resulted in the founding of what was soon to become an industry giant with holdings across the country: the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association.

used to be a restaurant near Chicago called St George and the dragon.
you could throw your peanut shells on the floor and they had great deep dish pizza.

Cheers to the patron Saint of casual dining;)

"This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in a silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall,
Or as a moat defensive to a house
Against the envy of less happier lands
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm
This England"

William Shakespeare
