Mardi Gras is the week leadin up to lent, so in New Orleans (and a few other places), every one goes all out and practices every form of debachery they can think of (EVERY form) in preparation for 40 days of absolution. it all ends on Ash Wednesday. Technically, it's all a big catholic thing, but those of us that arent catholic just go to dig ourelves into a deeper hole :D
