It's time for A2Kers to celebrate Mardi Gras.

Will you go to Louisiana for Mardi Gras? No.

What costume will you wear? I will dress in a Bumble Bee costume.

Will you go to parties? No.

Will you watch a parade? Maybe.

Which countries' parades do you enjoy the most? Rio's is the best. San Francisco's ain't bad, too.

@BumbleBeeBoogie,
Will you go to Louisiana for Mardi Gras? No.

What costume will you wear? Either a cloak of invisibility or no costume at all. Haven't decided yet. Neutral

Will you go to parties? No.

Will you watch a parade? No.

Which countries' parades do you enjoy the most? My knowledge of Mardi Gras parades are extremely limited to news clips and that one Simpson's spinoff episode where Chief Wiggum moves to New Orleans to become a private investigator.

I might bake a King cake if I can find one of those little plastic babies to hide in it.

Just use a bean. Easier and more authentic.

Not long after I started teaching in Marrero, Louisiana, one of the kids spotted a
garishly-colored comb I had and said it looked like a "throw". Add another to my
growing list of New Orleans area words. A "throw" is something thrown from a
Mardi Gras float. Usually these are beads or doubloons, but various other cheap
gewgaws could be thrown as well.

Doubloon? They throw pirate plunder? Not quite. A doubloon is a souvenir coin
with the emblem of the parade's krewe on one side and a picture based on the
parade's theme on the other. And a krewe is a social club which sponsors and
organizes a parade and the ball which follows. There are many krewes and thus
many parades in the area. Each parade needs bands and as a teacher, you
pretty much wrote off the band members during carnival season.

@George,
Throws and chats are able to be bought for 10 cent on the dollar at Thiursdays market in the quarter. My wife would never show her tits to get some extra big beads cause she used to have a collection of krewe masks and beads and **** in our big wall at the entrance a the house.

WQe are pcking as we speak to take a late PM plane down to Nawlins . We will be by the Walgreens on Bourbon we are staying at the Fairmont, and we will stay till Wed or Thursday depending on our mood and whether we can sell some nice smalls in Newcomb pottery to help pay for the trip.

Mudbugs n Poboys, shrimp creaole and caffe au laitte wif some bignuts.

Only trannies dress up.
