3-8-2011



After yesterday's Blue Screen adventure, it's only fitting that I would wake up to another colorful message.

This is not a donut. It is a Pączki. Every year, people observe a hallowed day of gluttony called Fat Tuesday. This is the kind of religious behaviour that I can get into. In addition to the international celebration of Mardi Gras, there's also a much more localized Midwest tradition of Pączki Day, introduced to the region by Polish immigrants. You can read all about this on Wikipedia (which is where I'm getting my information from anyway), but all I'm saying is that there's a Fancy Donut religion and I'm way into participating.
