We will get him a shamrock hat and some green beer while he is making pancakes with coins in them. He may as well decorate a few eggs while at it.

In the United States, the term Shrove Tuesday is less widely known outside of people who observe the liturgical traditions of the Episcopal, Lutheran, Methodist, and Catholic Churches.[3][4] Because of the increase in many immigrant populations and traditions since the 19th century, and the rise of highly publicized festivals, Mardi Gras has become more familiar as the designation for that day.

In the United Kingdom and many other countries, the day is often known as Pancake Day. Making and eating such foods was considered a last feast with ingredients such as sugar, fat and eggs, whose consumption was traditionally restricted during the ritual fasting associated with Lent.

I don't even HAVE a Jake. Do I? What are you people talking about?

Do we all float down here?

That's the name of the bird that sits atop the K in STEPHENKING.COM at the top left of the page.

St George's Day is April 23rd, stuck nicely in between Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
The powers that be are probably hoping people won't notice it, since being Patriotic is increasingly frowned upon!

My Jake never changes, unless I log in with IE.
