What’s What: A party in my Mardi-wear

Here is what’s trending this week:

Mardi Diapers
Thank goodness for the internet reporting the hard-hitting news of our country – specifically the costume choices for those attending Mardi Gras.  One of the more interesting outfits making the rounds in New Orleans would be the classic fashion that babies have been swearing by for years – the diaper.  Not only are they comfy and go with everything, you won’t even have to fight the crowd to find a bathroom.  There’s a whole new meaning to “party in my pants”, and we’re not entirely sure we want to attend….

Hole in One
Phil Mickelson may not have won this weekend’s Northern Trust Open, but he did pull off a rare “pant-leg shot” when his ball bounced off a tree and into the crowd, landing in the shorts of one of the gallery members.  But while the viewer may have been surprised by the extra ball in his pants, the ballsy move left him unscathed and awarded an autographed Mickelson glove.

Carb loading, and other sins
If you thought Mardi Gras was just about showing off the goods to get a flimsy pair of beads, you’re wrong. It’s also about overindulging in things considered bad for you in preparation for Ash Wednesday – the start of the Lenten season from anyone who celebrates. In preparation for fasting for 40 days and 40 nights, be on the lookout for some naughty behavior from the soon-to-be holy crowd on Tuesday. That includes uninhibited bouts of pleasure-filled activities that might be frowned upon in society. And yes, we are referring to stacks of syrupy pancakes – the official breakfast of Mardi Gras, aka Pancake Day.

Hot, Way Hot, aaaaand the Other One
Downton Abbey just ended their second season with a cliffhanger, leaving thousands of fans (i.e. sensitive women and the men they force to watch it) hanging by a thread as they wonder what’s going to happen next.  What the heck is Downton Abbey?  It’s an Edwardian era show that depicts time before Twitter, Facebook, or iAnything.  You know, ancient times.  It is also the same series that SNL spoofed, showing what Downton Abbey would be like if Spike TV had gotten to it first.

Oh well.  Whatever.  Nevermind.
Had Kurt Cobain not joined the “27 Club” back in ’94, he would have just celebrated his 45th birthday yesterday.  As if the 20th anniversary of Nevermind wasn’t mind-blowing enough….  In honor of the man who shaped alternative rock forever, enjoy this little trip down memory lane.
