  • rajncajn changed the title to Happy Mardi Gras Y'all!

We had a blast today, caught 4 parades and more throws than we could haul. Kicking off early tomorrow for an all-day marathon. 6 parades and my youngest marching at noon.

Even found the Crichton Leprechaun

Something every person should experience...

My comment was in reference to the amount of women exposing themselves. I suppose some women would enjoy that too, I doubt that is something you're looking forward to your kids seeing. Yes I know there is far more to Mardi Gras then naked women.

I went with a group of guys mostly my brothers, the one married guy was using a polaroid camera. Was shocked at how many women were flashing for a few beads. No idea if it is still that way or if it has become more tame (this was about 25 years ago).

It really just depends on where you're at. Mostly just the night parades and only in certain areas. Yeah, if you're walking around Bourbon then you're going to see some crazy ish, but for the most part it's not really like that. Even when I used to ride the Biloxi parades it was fairly rare and mist times the ones you saw were ones you didn't want to see.  :lol:

Exhausted and man my dogs are killing me, but we got thru the day and caught tons which will be recycled for next year's parades.  I'll post some float pictures later, but for now, here's our haul for the day.

He's a few from the Biloxi Neptune parade. Neptune had ove 75 units in their parade, including many bands from all over the state and several smaller private Krews and sponsor floats. All that to say, this is a very small sample, but I can't catch, take pics and drink my beer all at the same time. Still waiting on the Mrs to share the others. 20240210_185638.thumb.jpg.e32e59eafaeb810d3c78bfcd32bb062f.jpg

This pic, also from Neptune, didn't really come out well and didn't really do it justice. The parade had come to a stop when a passing train clipped 3 parked cars along the parade route, which crosses the tracks. So what do you do when you have to stop a parade for an hour? You have an impromptu street party, of course.
