Yeah I saw on TV that they were lubing up the poles in downtown New Orleans. The tub of lube even had a certified Mardi Gras sticker on it. Apparently Vasleline is a proud sponsor.

"Pączki Day
Traditionally, the reason for making paczki has been to use up all the lard, sugar, eggs and fruit in the house, which are forbidden during Lent. They are eaten especially on Fat Thursday, the last Thursday before Lent (Polish: Tłusty czwartek, not to be confused with Fat Tuesday or Shrove Tuesday). In Chicago, Detroit, Hamtramck, Milwaukee, and South Bend Paczki Day is more commonly celebrated on Fat Tuesday instead of Fat Thursday. Chicago celebrates both Fat Thursday & Fat Tuesday, partially due to its sizeable Polish population.

Pączki In America

Although Bismarcks and Jelly-filled doughnuts are the more commonly used names for the pastry in the United States, Polish immigrants have popularized this type of preserve-filled doughnut in some parts of the country, especially in Hamtramck, an enclave in Detroit. Hamtramck is known to be the only U.S. city to organize an annual Paczki-Day (Fat Tuesday) Parade, and lines can be seen up to 24 hours before the deep-fried delights go on sale at the numerous local bakeries. Many bars in town open early in the morning, and provide free entertainment, a party atmosphere, Paczki-clad mascots, and at at least one bar, Pączki filled with Jagermeister. The Paczki-Day celebration in this town is even larger than many areas have for St. Patrick's Day. Here, prunes are considered the traditional filling, but many others are used as well, including lemon, strawberry, Bavarian cream, blueberry, custard, raspberry, and rarely apple. Due to French influence, paczki are eaten on Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) rather than on Fat Thursday. In the large Polish community of Chicago, and other large cities across the Midwest, paczki day is also celebrated annually by immigrants and locals alike."

One of my best subs is from that area, and moved down here because there's basically no new construction going on in that area. I've had no less than a dozen guys from MI come by looking for work, and they've all told me they've moved their families down here because there is just nothing going on up there right now.

What sort of work are you looking for?

swung by Sweetwaters to get one this morning. They quit selling them yesterday. :bawl:

anything that pays haha. although yesterday i had a promising interview... ahh the high profile position as a starbucks barista awaits. but.. it was a job fair, for one location and there were probably 100 people there. halfway through the day i know i was one of only 6 that stayed for a second interview (and there wasn't a 3rd) so hopefully.. Usually im just an exec assist. make appointments, boss around interns, all good fun.
