Mardi Gras
The term "Mardi Gras" (pronounced /ˈmɑrdiɡrɑː/) in English, refers to events of the Carnival celebrations, beginning on or after Epiphany and ending on the day before Ash Wednesday. Mardi Gras is French for "Fat Tuesday" (in ethnic English tradition, Shrove Tuesday), referring to the practice of the last night of eating richer, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of the Lenten season, which started on Ash Wednesday.
Regardless of its origin or meaning it is pretty much an excuse to get as hammered as humanly possible and since im in the deep south i also get the day off. w00000. That being said i'm getting my happy tomorrows out of the way early to make more room for BEER!
