So St. Patrick's Day is when we pretend we care about Ireland by eating something nobody in Ireland eats, Cinco de Mayo is when we pretend we care about Mexico by drinking something nobody in Mexico drinks... what else is out there (not counting all the Pagan holidays the Christians swiped)?

Not to mention all the people who get get ashes or marked Lent &/or Easter, but who failed to celebrate Mardi Gras.

FOR SHAME!!!
