When the Saints Go Over There.
Oh, I want to be in that rumba,
When the saints go over there.
Oh over there!
Oh over there! …

Happy Fat Tuesday! One more chance to (over)indulge in things that you are giving up for forty days and nights.

While I was in college I had the idea of extending the fun and gluttony of Mardi Gras with Fatter Thursday. Given what happened to New Orleans last year, I think that now more than ever, Fatter Thursday needs to become part of the culture. Think about it, Ash Wednesday is a day of fasting and Friday has a share of dietary restrictions too — you need to catch up and power-up in between. Think of all the extra cash that could fill N’awlins coffers if people stayed for one more day of gluttony. Lastly, after Friday, you may still be a little hungry and to solve that, I created one more — Faturday.
