Happy Dyngus Day!

Happy Dyngus Day! Or, as it is known in some parts of the Polish-American world, "Wet Easter Monday." Um....let's just stick with Dyngus (or Dingus) Day.

I was always told growing up that this holiday was created so the Polish kids could find all their Easter eggs left over from the day before. Turns out, this was probably just another Polack joke. In actuality, this is a day which finds its origins first in Pagan traditions then later Christianity. Get yourself learned on Dyngus Day here.

Oh--and in South Bend, this day is for politicking and getting hammered. And yet my work refuses to recognize this as a holiday day for me. I think it may be time for me to shed the bonds of my oppressors and get absolutely sh*tfaced at lunch, while talking about the upcoming mayoral elections.

You can take the Polack out of South Bend.....
