Alright, who's going out tonight? Where are you going? What will you be doing? Does your mother know?
Remember, Allahtm hates costumes like this, so Bedazzle your bikini, celebrate Catholicism, and flip the bird in a generally eastward direction!
According to internet sources:
In the Christian calendar, Shrove Tuesday is the English name for the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, which in turn marks the beginning of Lent. In many solidly Roman Catholic countries in Europe and the Americas, this is the last day of Carnival. In some historically Francophone places it is Mardi Gras, French for Fat Tuesday; the most famous Shrove Tuesday celebration is the Brazilian Carnival.
Also, something about pancakes.
Whatever.
What are you giving up for Lent? Are doing it because you're Catholic, or because you live with a Catholic, or because it's tradition? Or are you ignoring Lent altogether(sinner!)?

Not going anywhere. Unless you count my BRAND NEW WORKSHOP as going out. I got a fridge full of beer out there.
Nights out during special events are for amateur drunks. I am a professional drunk. You know that.

But it's also an excuse to dress in drag and pass out in the street- Who can say no to that?

Mardi Gras or Fasching Dienstag..... means tomorrow is Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent. What should I give up for Lent? Smoking? Nah. Probably sex as the GF and I have split up.

I'm going to say a white lab coat, a big reflective thing on your forehead, a power drill and a maniacal grin. ;-P

To answer your question, going to a business dinner tonight. If there are any nice looking female attendees, I'll throw them a few beads and see what happens.
