Of course, I'm the kind of guy who still calls it Shrove Tuesday instead of Mardi Gras. I'm still laughing over the e-card wishing me a Happy Ash Wednesday last year. We wish you a merry Tisha B'Av, and a happy Yom Kippur!
I have a problem with anyone who calls Weds. "Hump Day," unless they're willing to put their booty where their mouth is.

Again with the booty-talk!
You're probably the right person to ask -- what the heck is "Maundy Thursday"? I know it's the Thursday before Easter, but what's a maundy?
(The traditional greeting/wish for Yom Kippur is that one have a "meaningful holiday".)
So, Atticus, I hope you have a meaningful Ash Wednesday -- and a kick-ass Shrove Tuesday!
