Happy Mardi Gras! Get some beads! Eat those delicious donuts! Get ready for Lent! And for those of you who aren't Catholic, get ready for tomorrow! Or something.
So I was down at the dining hall, listening to this awesome Beatles cover band called the Beagles, when suddenly someone shouted "DANCE CONTEST!" And myself, being a prestigious random dancer, had to compete. I twisted with the best of them to the song "Twist and Shout". And who won, do you ask? Oh but of course I did! And I got Mardi Gras beads. I was hoping for money, but apparently nobody wanted to give me any. I guess in the future if I want money for my dance skills, I'll have to become a stripper. Like Melvin.
This is one of the many fun images you get when you enter "Melvin" into Google.com/images.

So there you go. That's Melvin.
Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. Lent is the period of fasting and abstaining prior to the celebration of Easter. Every Friday, us Catholics joyfully give up our meats and eat only cheese pizza and fish sticks. This is a picture of what happens on Ash Wednesday.

And this is a picture of a movie called "Ash Wednesday", starring Edward Burns and Elijah Wood.

I have never seen this movie, but I'll tell you right now it looks rather lame. It's no "The Wicker Man" if you ask me. This is the movie poster from "The Wicker Man", a film from the epic year 1973.

And this is a serious of pictures taken from the legendary "Random Naked Singing Lady Butt Slapping Dance" scene.

Why was this movie not more popular, you ask? What with all the naked butt slapping? I don't know the answer to that question. But everyone should watch it. Or something. |
