Ugh. I've put on 3 dress sizes in 2 years. Every bloody day is Fat. Where or where did my mid-life-crisis-driven fit of anorexia go? Oh well, at least I still got the implants and fancy ride....
Happy Fat Tuesday, all!

The terms "Mardi Gras" (mär`dē grä) and "Mardi Gras season", in English, refer to events of the Carnival celebrations, ending on the day before Ash Wednesday. From the French term "Mardi Gras" (literally "Fat Tuesday"
, the term has come to mean the whole period of activity related to those events, beyond just the single day, often called Mardi Gras Day or Fat Tuesday.The season can be designated by the year, as in "Mardi Gras 2008". The time period varies from city to city, as some traditions consider Mardi Gras as the Carnival period between Epiphany or Twelfth Night and Ash Wednesday. Others treat the final three-day period as being Mardi Gras. In Mobile, Alabama, Mardi Gras events begin in November, followed by mystic society balls on Thanksgiving, then New Year's Eve, formerly with parades on New Year's Day, followed by parades and balls in January & February, celebrating up to midnight before Ash Wednesday.
Other cities most famous for their Mardi Gras celebrations include Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and New Orleans, Louisiana. Many other places have important Mardi Gras celebrations as well.
Carnival is an important celebration in most of Europe, except in Ireland and the United Kingdom where the festival is called "shrovetide" ending on Shrove Tuesday, and pancakes are the tradition, and also in many parts of Latin America and the Caribbean.

1st thought: NO. Afterthought: YES (sorta, lol) Thanks for giving such detailed information, btw! 
I now live in Vegas, and without realizing it myself WE have been celebrating it every year for 5 years now!
BY PURE COINCIDENCE...Tuesday nights we meet for dinner w/his truck-driving father at "The Orleans"!
Why there? I always thought he stayed there. JUST now informed his dad has a ~crush~ on the waitress.
