Welcome to Tuesday Terrific, where we celebrate getting over the Monday bump and picking up speed for the rest of the week.
Today, we have a lot to celebrate, since it’s Mardi Gras, aka “Fat Tuesday.” For a lot of us, it’s a day to indulge in goodies before the Lenten go-withouts kick in; for others, it’s Donut Day (for more info, see my ROW80 post that mentions Fasnacht Day); and for a lucky few, it’s a chance to be at “Ground Zero” in New Orleans for the parades and festivities.
But how about a non-fattening, sit-in-front-of-your-computer, won’t-get-you-arrested/hungover survey of how to celebrate Mardi Gras? Easy-peasy!
Here’s my Fat Tuesday-themed
Mashup of How to Celebrate Mardi Gras in front of Your Computer
1. Have some laughs.
2. “Eat” something fun: Perry Block’s “Purim: you are who you eat”
3. Sin a little. (Uh-oh, can’t stop? Try this product, from Jenny Hansen’s post): “Help Prevent Sinning with the ‘Sin Collar'”
4. And, finally, be daring (vicariously):
So, how are you celebrating Mardi Gras today? I’d love to hear from you!
Until later,
Kathy
Thanks for the laugh! I don’t celebrate Mardi Gras, but yesterday was the start of Tim Horton’s Roll-Up-the-Rim, so I’m celebrating a month of being able to justify my coffee intake. Does that count? 🙂
Dang, Marcy!! We have to justify it now?? *hides coffee press*
Lesson #1: Don’t mess with the coffee drinkers! LOL
LOL I didn’t even know Mardi Gras was today! So obviously I’m not one who celebrates it – except, it’s Beer Night after work, when a bunch of coworkers go out for $2 draft at a nearby sports bar. So it’s particularly appropriate this time!
Ooh, Jennette, enjoy Beer Night!
Love it, Kathy! Great stuff.
Thanks, Julie!
Woo-hoo!!! Perry and I have represented both sides of the Judeo-Christian religion…AND we get to drink online.
WOOT-WOOT!!
Thanks for the laugh 🙂
You bet, Coleen! Thanks so much for the visit. 😀
Fat Tuesday…Mardi Gras…New Orleans…good memories of beignets and muffalotta…and many other good things. Now I have some laughs to go with it all. Thanks, K.B. Fun post.
Anytime, Janice! Looks like you celebrate Mardi Gras in high style!
How brilliant. Love the ninja photo and the cinema video is a classic!
Thanks for making my day so much brighter, Kathy xx
Thanks, Donna!
OMG love the last video – just about died! Now that was awesome….perfect post for celebrating. Thanks for the smiles and chuckles as always Kathy! LOL!!
Thanks, Natalie! I don’t know if I would have been brave enough to sit in that theater, LOL.
I did most of my Mardi Gras celebrations this weekend for my birthday when I chose Papadeaux as one of my restaurants of choice…it was JAM packed with people celebrating. We wore beads, drank Hurricanes, and had some oysters on the half shell. YUM!
Sounds like a ton of fun, Tiffany! I haven’t had a hurricane in ages. And you survived the celebrating to tell the tale!
