Question that makes me feel dumb: When is Mardi Gras?
You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

Ailleann: I'm pretty sure it's a Tuesday, sometime.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
When is Mardi Gras?
Forty seven days before the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Vernal Equinox. Simple!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Mardi Gras season stretches from the end of Christmas (6th January) until just before the start of Lent (Ash Wednesday). The big Tuesday celebration this year will be the 20th of February.

Heh, specificity is important. loves you guys
Somehow I thought it was later, because I know Easter is in April, but everyone's talking about Mardi Gras stuff, and I saw cakes at the store the other day... clearly I have no mental grasp of 40 days.

I like it when it comes earlier in the year. Fewer college spring breakers screaming about tits.
