How did I not realize until just now that today was both Super Tuesday and Mardi Gras?
Introducing, SUPER FAT TUESDAY.
I'd love to know if the two ever coincided before...

I'm a flutist and an IronMan. I read a lot. I write and I take pictures and I received a Doctorate of Musical Arts last May. I sometimes tell the truth too much and try a little too hard to be funny.
[I'm a classical flutist who sometimes likes to run, write, and take pictures more than play the flute - so I try to write about why...]

Okay, I'm a dork. You piqued my curiosity, so I did a little research. This was the firsdt time Fat Tuesday and Super Tuesday have ever coincided, near as I can tell. Rather fascinating, actually. If you're that curious, I could give you more details, but I don't think I want to bore your other readers with my sheer geekiness.
things that make you go....ummmm!!

Sorry, but it happed at least once before, including back on March 7, 2000, I believe.

Really? Shows how wrong 5 minutes worth of Googling can be. Color me corrected...
Now the interesting question: was the intentional? Super Tuesday seems to move around the calendar almost as much as Fat Tuesday does...
If it's Super Fat Tuesday, does that make it "Morbidly Obese Tuesday?"
Somehow that's not quite as sexy as "Tres Mardi Gras" or whatever the French equivalent would be. (Everything sounds better in French)
