We have a silly little parade here!
It encompasses about 4 square blocks and the participants parade around those same blocks three times tossing out "things" each time. It's kind of silly to see the same stuff over and over and over again. 🙂
It's a "G-Rated" family event.
The "ultimate" of worthless Mardi Gras junk
Cute story!! 😀 Sorry about the wife. 🙁
The "ultimate" of worthless Mardi Gras junk
Zulu Coconut Scar!
That's awesome!
Get your Mardi Gras King cakes.
If any of my out of state friends would like a king cake, try the Ambrosia Bakery in Baton Rouge. They can ship it to you, baby and all.
An elementary and high school friend and his family own the place. Good people.
Yeah - me too!
yeah...me too...I've always dreamed of a stuffed coconut tree to fall out of ala Keith Richards
Cut me in!

the exposing of perky american breasts, encompassed by cheap beads and howling youth with hormones raging--now thats the american way---tdd
Now dat is what I'm thinking Teddy... I don't want the beads, but I'll take the hoots.
Tis the Reason for the Season.

amen Deral !!:-) 😐 😐 😐
Get your Mardi Gras King cakes.
our neighbor made a nice home made mini king cake for 12th night and brought it over to us. dam if it wasn't one of the best king cakes that I ever had. She grew up in the Bywater as a kid.
It is quite amazing how a $1 pair of fancy Mardi Gras beads can convince a young lady she wants to bounce around half naked, but hey, who am I to argue with her.
This year's date falls on March 8th, which should provide nice warm weather and aide the sightseeing efforts.
Y'all really need to come down and experience Mardi Gras in New Orleans at least once in your life, a true bucket list item. While the celebration originated in Mobile, the Big Easy took it as its own.
My one time was also my bachelor party, lasted 4 days, woke up parked under an overpass with 5 of us asleep in the bed of a pickup truck. There are several memories of that weekend that will be a faraway smile when I'm in the home.
"While the celebration originated in Mobile, the Big Easy took it as its own."
Not hardly, Mardi Gras was celebrated long before there was a Mobile or a New Orleans.
Them beads look good wrapped around my topless girlfriends neck!!!
Gotta get it anyway I can!!!

I am guilty of running around topless AND bottomless, at the hot springs though, not at Mardi Gras!! And that was in my 20s BC (before child). Now, hell no! The "perk" turned into Pffft and would scare everyone to the opposite end of the earth. :-O 😛

Reminded me of Clay Walker's hit song
‘Bout ten years old, hide and seek
I found me in the closet
Ready or not I stumbled on
And opened up that box of
Yearbooks, letters, black and whites
A hundred, maybe more
Next thing I know my brothers and me
Got ‘em scattered on the floor (Yeah)
There was one of her, flippin’ the bird
Sittin’ on a Harley
And a few with some hairy hippie dude
Turns out his name was Charlie
Her hair, her clothes, her drinkin’ smokin’
Had us boys confused
I’ll never forget the day us nosey kids got introduced
To Mama, ‘fore she was Mama
In a string bikini, in Tijuana
Won’t admit she smoked marijuana
But I saw Mama, ‘fore she was Mama
We put that box right where it was
And never said a word
But growin’ up got hard just tryin’
Not to picture her
In anything but aprons, dresses
Mini-vans and church
Oh and Daddy would have whooped our butts
For diggin’ up that dirt
On Mama, ‘fore she was Mama
In a string bikini, in Tijuana
She won’t admit she smoked marijuana
But I saw Mama, ‘fore she was Mama
We laugh and hang it over her head
Right above her halo
Her face turns red when we bring up
That tie-dyed Winnebago
She runs and hides and still denies
That hip high rose tattoo
She burned that box of forget-me-nots
When she found out we knew
About Mama, ‘fore she was Mama
In a string bikini, in Tijuana
Won’t admit she smoked marijuana
But that was Mama, ‘fore she was Mama
And there’s that one down in the Bahamas
But that was Mama, ‘fore she was Mama

Please don't put me in any such raffle.
I will be having pancakes for supper on "Shrove Tuesday."
The French party and the English have pancakes for supper.
Don't laugh at the English, they blundered into the French at Trafalgar and sank the combined French and Spanish fleets.
