It's Fat Tuesday?!?
I just walked past another department and they had a glorious cornucopia of Paczkis. I fear that I'm going to miss out this year. I can't believe no one on my team brought any in.

A round Polish pastry similar to a doughnut, usually filled with fruit and topped with sugar or icing.

It's like the illest jelly doughnut you've ever seen. I think eating more than one of them is potentially fatal, and they are super tasty. Perhaps it isn't a popular custom around the country? Southeastern Michigan has a large Polish population, could be why they are popular here.

Don't think that's stemmed off of any tradition except my mom likes them and they are fitting for fat tuesday ;D
Speaking of which... anyone giving up anything exciting for lent??

Spoke with the Budweiser Distributor and I will have about six pounds of beads for my bouncing gig tonight.
I expect to see 57 tits tonight.

My old company (and Xunil's current one) does the Paczkis, not because they want to celebrate the whole Fat Tuesday/Lent whatchamacallit, but because they just want an excuse to bring in the huge donuts
I think Xunil said this year they brought in about 200 or 250 Paczkis

Yeah I had some people playing on my craps table last night (ash wednesday) with little ash crosses on their foreheads.
I totally forgot until they wobbled up to the table.
