It's carnival season! yay! and I had king cake for breakfast! and there is a parade tonight in downtown New Orleans! and Frodo (Who plays him in the movies) is the king of the parade! And they are going to throw beads and other assorted plastic stuff! and its been like this for 6 weeks!

and does anyone (Besides me) know what tuesday is?

Might it be 'Fat Tuesday'? It's not really celebrated in the UK. And really, isn't the place to be Rio?

Fat Tuesday, some girl in my German class is all obbsesed with it for some odd reason

"The Place to Be", as you put it, malchik, would either be in Rio de Jenaro or New Orleans, on Bourbon Street. Would be beter here, liquer laws are harsher elsewhere (IE, you can drink on the streets here).

EDIT (in the name of my dark lord): But you still have to be 21 to drink.

Aye, but you still have to be 21, Breton

Heh, better to go to Cologne, the parade's already on Monday, but you can drink stuff with few alcohol with 16 and liquors as soon as you're 18+ ;D

yeah...and, people who see girls flash people for beeds: that is where they are drunk, on the streets (which would mean bourbon street down here), and at night. Sometimes during the season its a little cold too .

that and I get a five day weekend (I also have ash wednessday off). But one thing I don't like about Mardi Gras hollidays: On wednessday, lint begins.

...WEll duh! Tuesday is the day after Monday! Come on people....sheesh

Spoken by someone who never experianced it....I greive for you, my friend, as you are deprived.

Good question, I'm aware of "Lent", but what is "lint" (aside from accrued thread matter in one's pockets)?

Is it my fault I dont know how to spell my own dad's catholic holy days of obligation? The whole reason that tuesday exists is so that people can have one last day of celebration before Lent.

on second thought, don't answer that question.
