I went to pickup my wife's birthday cake this morning from a local bakery - not realizing it was Fat Tuesday. Good god there were a lot of people there. Line was out the door even though they had more people working than I have ever seen before. People were picking up dozens of doughnuts. Two guys came in and picked up 5 dozen. I'm thinking Fat Tuesday has gone a little beyond religious connotation and become yet another reason for us to stuff our fat faces

We are. And it is.
And thats life.

Gubment keeps outlawing new drugs, we keep on going for the sugar rush. Its the only thing thats legal and reasonably priced.

Maybe they should rescind that tax on cigarettes.

I stopped eating the crap they bring in to our department all the time. I swear we have the fattest department in the company. 2 dozen donuts, bagels, candy, horribly fattening deserts and food. There is a table out for this garbage for everyone to graze on. It has been a couple weeks now that I refuse to eat anything put on that table.

Donuts are cheaper than salads I guess. They also last the whole day and dont turn brown.

I need to bring celery sticks with me to school. GMU has about 20 fast food joints on campus. Not one cafeteria with healthy stuff. One of the sammich joints puts out a couple yogurt cups every morning. The vollyball girls grab them all as soon as they come in and thats it. No more.

I don't eat donuts - my weakness is delicious cheeseburgers - but it shocks me how people in my office bum rush a dozen free donuts.

I worked at a place like that. There was always leftover food from an office birthday party, holiday or some such. Thankfully where I work now is not nearly as bad

Dammit, you're supposed to clean out your fridge and get rid of the "bad" food you already have that will tempt you during Lent, not go out and buy more.

If we made a holiday out of a special trash collection on December 26th, I swear to god we'd have people going out and buying garbage to put on the curb inside of a generation.

Anyway, happy Lent, everyone. Psykers can line up over here to be soul-sacrificed to the Emperor.

...what? That's not what Lent is about?

I just wish they came up with a decent miracle whip knockoff so that I didn't need to spend so much on it.

There was nothing ever religious about Fat Tuesday for me.

I love pączki !

And that's the only reason I could ever care about Fat Tuesday. Ash Wednesday means nothing to me.
I actually hate Fat Tuesday/Ash Wednesday, because all of a sudden a delicious treat is no longer available for purchase.


But yes, we are a fat people.

I think I've only had one of those Polish things ONE time in my life on Fat Tuesday. I was a child then.

Now, I don't even know when Fat Tuesday is happening until the day of. Which seems to be today.

Yep, that's the department I work in. :biggrin:

There are a few who are in good shape but for the most part it is cow city. My boss is a body builder, very little body fat, so I get some of my will power from him.
