the day by which most people choose to drink to the point of severe intoxication followed by chaos, debauchery, nudity, animalistic sex acts, ritualistic pagan sacrifice, and grave digging, with occasional necrophelia,and a dash of pedophilia.
At no point does this mention Jesus, or the comming of the Lenten season...you know, that time of year where Jesus sacrificed himself for the good of all man
"Hey,everyone, lets all go down to Mardi Gras!!!!"

Get the Mardi Gras mug.
A big friggin carnival party that lasts one day in France, but lasts for several days here...The capitol of which is in New Orleans, Louisianna. The object is to collect the most extravagant bead necklaces and have fun.

THE GOOD: Parades, celebrations, and exotic costumes. Movie stars. Exotic masks & bead necklaces can cause, wild girls (drunk or sober) to flash their tits to ya in order to get em.

THE BAD: Rare occaisions that deal with pick-pocketers, thugs, drugs, and psychos running around with syringes filled with their HIV infected blood to randomly stab folks wit.

THE UGLY: Mardi Gras can have filthy streets and back allies.
I've been to Mardi Gras too many times...and each time got worse and worse than the one before!

Common mistake thinking mardi gras is only at bourbon street when it is not. It is mostly located on st. charles where everyone gets wasted and smokes pot. It is not just in the French Quarter! ONLY IN NEW ORLEANS!!!
I smoked weed over Mardi Gras vacation.

The day before Ash Wednesday; the end of the Carnival season which begins on January 6. It's a public (and paid) holiday in New Orleans, so there's not really much to do after the parades. Of course, there is Bourbon Street, but only if you're a hopeless alcoholic, a complete loser, or a skank who is willing to show her breasts for Chinese plastic beads worth about twelve cents.

The day before is called Lundi Gras.
Man 1: "Dude, I waited until the night before Mardi Gras to go to New Orleans, because I didn't know that there's nothing to do the next day. Even the coffee shops were closed!"

Man 2: "You're an idiot."

In Australia, Mardi Gras is a celebration of the Gay Lesbian, Bisexual and Trangender community where they participate in a parade with floats that are flamboyant and often depict naked people. This parader celebrates the LGBT community and is often attended by straight people, supporting the community. Groups involved are the "Dykes on Bikes", PFLAG etc. This parade has alot of nakedness, mesh and plastic clothing.
Did you see that shirt he's wearing- definitely belongs at Mardi Gras

n. The putrid, festering liquid that accumulates along curbs and in potholes on Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras Juice is usually made up of several distinct liquids, including (but not limited to): beer, spit, urine, Pat O'Brien's hurricanes, semen, human blood, rainwater, mucous, suntan lotion, feces, sweat, pig's blood, assorted other alcoholic beverages and soft drinks, breast milk, tears of lost souls, and rich, chocolatey Ovaltine.

Needless to say, Mardi Gras Juice should be considered hazardous and should not be consumed or handled in any way, unless you find some streads in it that can be exchanged for a boobie flash.
That guy just stepped ankle-deep into a puddle of Mardi Gras Juice. If that were me I'd cut off my own foot.
