he terms "Mardi Gras" (pronounced /ˈmardigara/), "Mardi Gras season", and "Carnival season", in English, refer to events of the Carnival celebrations, beginning on or after Epiphany and ending on the day before Ash Wednesday. Mardi Gras is French for "Fat Tuesday" (in ethnic English tradition, Shrove Tuesday), referring to the practice of the last night of eating richer, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of the Lenten season, which started on Ash Wednesday. Related popular practices were associated with celebrations before the fasting and religious obligations associated with the penitential season of Lent.

It is the day before Ash Wednesday every year.

Carnivals started in the middle of the second century in Rome when Lent (fasting) was preceded by many days of feasting and voluntary madness.

stupid people decided they could get more bead by flashing men. and it began in New Orleans most likely the only place people would think to something so stupid.

No, they are different. Shrove Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday, and Holy Tuesday is the Tuesday of Holy Week - the week between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday.

Technically speaking, pagans do not practice Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras is French for Fat Tuesday which is a Catholic holiday. However, practitioners of Santeria and Voodoo in the Americas blend Catholicism, Native American and African religious beliefs and practices, and as these religions all blend together in Latin and South America, some pagans probably do celebrate Marti Gras (especially in areas like Brazil) because it's more of a cultural/social thing, not really treated as a religious holiday by the mainstream.
