I know what you mean, Jerry.

One Tuesday night I was at a casino to partake of the buffet. Turned out it was Fat Tuesday, and they had special entertainment in the foyer. Everybody was having a good time, catching the throws and listening to the music.

I told my husband, "Someday I want to make a movie where a casino offers Lenten specials."

On a visit to New Orleans (before Hurricane Katrina) I took a picture or two of the necklaces dangling from the power lines, months after Mardi Gras.
