Or, Happy Shrove Tuesday! I grant you it doesn't sound as cool as Mardi Gras, but it has its own charm.

Yes, we are indeed a stuffy lot.

The whole point of Mardi Gras is to have something to truly repent of on Ash Wednesday.

So, "shriving" is like Confession, and Episcopalians leave their clothes on on Mardi Gras, and eat pancakes.....

Huh. Learn something new everyday....

Glad you found "Bringing In the Shroves" -- hysterical, and I hadn't seen it for a while. The hymns are twice as funny if you grew up with the originals ;) Alas, my house is pancake-less and so not a very good shrove environment....
