Mardi Gras , it would appear, is a quasi-religeous season each year when to celebrate the beginning of - or is it the end - of Lent wherein people on high throw tacky beads to women who bare their boobs. In a sort of parade. In preponderantly catholic cities. Throughout the world.
Viva Mardi Gras!!!

Fat Tuesday is the day to indulge in all your favorite vices before giving them up for Lent.

well, there is the mardi gra where you give something up for 30 days (approx.) then there is the gay mardi gra, and no offence to people to actually do it, but i think it 's stupid.

The feast before the 'famine'....aka lent. Have a look at Wikipedia. According to this resource it is not to be confused with 'Fat Tuesday'....(I guess you do learn something new every day)

Its the last day before you give up something for Lent. So the idea is to party and indulge in everything you plan to give up.

Getting naked, getting drunk and seeing yourself flashing your boobs on cops.You also get to party it up before lent so you can feel better about giving up your sinning for a week. And the confessors need ton's of stories too.
