A paczkis (pronounced "Punchkey") is a high fat jelly doughnut sold on
Fat Tuesday the day just before
Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent. It is a self indulgent and
fattening food meant to symbolize pigging out
just before you are supposed to give up something for Lent (mainly a
Catholic tradition). It is an old Polish custom and
they are sold to anyone who wants to eat them at a lot of stores in
Michigan at this time of year.

For lent this year I am going to give up murdering my neighbors, extorting
money from the Mom and Pop grocery store, and detonating nuclear devices.

Not surprising, as you seem to have been detonating nuclear devices.
