Shrove Tuesday, Fat Tuesday, Pancake Day — whatever you want to call it, I think today is one of my favorite holidays of the year (out of the minor ones, at least). We might not get a day off work, but we do get to eat as much fried batter as we can stand. I count that as a win in my book.
Even if you don't observe Lent and you aren't big on the religious origins of this most delicious of dates, I implore you to chow down on some pancakes today. Not only are they tasty, but they also act as a reminder that Easter and therefore spring is just around the corner. Even better, we can compliment the feast with some delightful pancake memes. They don't go quite as nicely with maple syrup, but they make up for that with a plentiful helping of semi-topical humor with a twist.
