Mardi Gras!

But in your defense, a Mardi Gras parade in Ohio would seem pretty retarded, even though it is technically a Catholic celebration.

Dude, there's a Mardi Gras celebration in Philly every stinking year, and it's been there for the past five or so years. They just decided to start celebrating Fat Tuesday for no reason whatsoever.

Needless to say, Philly has neither a huge Catholic population, nor a huge cajun population.

It just pisses me off, man. It's like me celebrating your birthday, but without you, and not in your own house. I'm essentially "stealing your party." I just don't like it.

Ah, I get ya, I was just saying it is more of a Louisiana thing than a strictly New Orleans thing. NO just gets all the publicity.

Galveston is close enough... Lake Charles might as well be in Texas.

My friend wants to go back to Nawlins on Mardi Gras, but I don't know. I'd like to go to New Orleans someday to check out the sites and the food, but I could do without the drunken partying. I prefer my quiet vacations...

I think people who celebrate Mardi Gras outside of New Orleans are douche bags.

It's not your party, assholes!

Yeah I've been to a couple of non New Orleans Mardi Gras' celebrations outside the area - most are pretty hurtin and geared towards the kiddies.

Although I have heard that Seattle had a pretty fuckin crazy Mardi Gras a couple of years ago. Apparently the city wasnt ready for all of the people to spaz out and cut loose as much as they did and the police force was a bit overwhelmed. Dont know the details I just remember seeing it on the news.

Im going to celebrate by eating some Popeyes and overdosing on videogames.
Ok....how is this diffrent from the weekend?

[Jetman]

Alright Fat, Tuesday isnt officially here yet but I celebrated its coming over the weekend in New Orleans. Caught some beads ( unfortunately all my friends caught the good shit - Zulu spears, etc.) , saw a whole bunch of titties, saw a couple of good fights ( 2 guys who worked in a pizza place off Decataur TOTALLY beat the shit out of some drunk guy - then my girl tries to make it worse and get me in trouble by laughing in the guys face and reminding him REAL loud like that he just got his ass kicked ), and got shit faced drunk the two nights I was there. (Hand Grenades from Tropical Isle = nectar of the gods.)Other highlights involve the girl dragging me and my boys into a gay bar because she had to piss real bad <scarred for life from the sick shit I saw in there BTW>and me drunkenly hopping a eight foot fence into some rich pricks penthouse courtyard to piss in his fountain and getting harrased by the popo afterwards (" Seriously officer , this guy threw my beads over the fence so I had to go get em , no harm done" )

Any of you guys get a chance to celebrate this hallowed holiday over the weekend?
