Laissez les bons temps rouler!" is a Cajun expression meaning "Let the good times roll!" It strongly conveys the "joie de vivre" ("joy of living")

Netherlands
Carnival (Dutch: Carnaval; also called "vastenavond" - or Limburgish: "vastelaovend") is originally an European Pagan spring festival, with an emphasis on role-reversal and suspension of social norms.

Mainly held in the southern part of the Netherlands in the provinces of Noord-Brabant and Limburg, some parts of Zeeland and in eastern parts of Twente and Gelderland

United States
. Mardi Gras arrived in North America as a French Catholic tradition, in the late 17th century, when King Louis XIV sent the pair to defend France's claim on the territory of Louisiane, which included what are now the U.S. states of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
The first Mardi Gras in US was in Mobile, Alabama in 1702 as the first capital of French Louisiana settled there.

ALL EVENTS will be in a 20/20 minute/Mile drive zone for me

@previous (On !Uvm54ORbmo)
to be clear....I had lots and lots of interaction with Sandy....she shared a thing or three with me that others never knew....but we never at all had any kind of romantic involvilvement....I will say this.....she is the special caliber of person that anyone who is worth a damn would take an arrow to the knee for..

that being said...I would not expose her to the off color shenanigans that syntax and I would probably get into if we partied together at any Mardi Gras celebration...

for example...I will insist he try at least one of my signature epic four shot cocktails..

I just failed to maintain contact with her after she got rid of the web community she once maintained...something I have at times deeply regretted..

@previous (B)
Deeply regretted? Sounds like you know her departure was indeed due to you. Now, what have you done to her actually? Are you planning to do the same to ducky/triptych/kook/etc?
