Get the Stanley Parable mug.The most elite and highly trained regiment in the British military. Recruits undergo exclusive training at Catterick, Yorkshire, before undergoing the gruelling P-Company, a week of physical endurance tests, the military equivalent of evolution; only the strong will survive. Generally full of young men too violent for civilian life, the Parachute Regiment is the generals' 'weapon of choice' when attacking heavily defended enemy positions.

In Scranton, Pennsylvania, a day in March during which a grand St. Patrick's Day Parade is held. However, the vast majority of people simply use the day as an excuse to drink all day long and stay in a state of constant drunkenness.
