Laissez les bon temps roulez!

It's Mardi Gras and I've been stuck in my cube all day with nary a parade in sight. I should be granted some sort of nation-wide exemption so I don't have to work on Mardi Gras, no matter where I live. When you are born into and grow up with that culture, it's in your blood, you know? Such a travesty, working today

if your default icon is a girl, it is a scary girl with a LOT of neck hair going on. that is all.

Hey, girls can have neck hair too! I swear it!

[sveeb]

Ew, sir.

Wha? Women have hair on their heads; as a matter of fact, they have hair follicles all over their bodies. It's a fact of life that you'd better get used to.

I read this Piers Anthony story (I think it was Piers Anthony anyway) once about a guy who's trying to hunt down this killer guy who's kidnapped some chica and the killer guy was going to undress her and the main guy was like telling someone that the if the killer guy undressed the chica he'd kill her because she had body hair and nipples and the killer guy thought he was undressing the Madonna (the Catholic Madonna, you understand, not the pop star) and since the Madonna didn't have body hair or nipples he'd know the chica was not the Madonna and would therefore kill her! It was a pretty crappy story, now that I think about it.

the exploits of a friend of mine

he told me today that he went downtown for the mardis gras parade(s) on tuesday (we were both off yesterday, which should help explain the delay).

he said the girls were flashing their tits all over the damn place. and they were all getting arrested for it.

he said the highlight of his visit was watching some guy break a beer bottle over his bitch's face in the heat of an argument. i am assuming that guy did not get arrested, because i was not told specifically that he was.

at least the local government has its priorities straight: connecting dicks to buttholes, while preventing anybody interested from seeing some titties. or does that mean the priorities are anything *but* straight?

Are you talking about the PDX Mardi Gras?

Every year the NOLA police say they're cracking down on the public nudity, but that's about as effective as them saying they're cracking down on underaged drinking.

I saw the aftermath of one fight in Lafayette one year...two guys got into it over who-knows-what, and one of them ended up getting stabbed. Blood mixed with beer mixed with asphalt: Mardi Gras distilled to its very essence.

can only tell you what i was told. maybe they "always say it," and maybe they always meant it, and maybe you were just not around at the right time.

then again, maybe his is making shit up.
