- DaviDTC, on 02/24/2009, -1/+72009: 6 people shot including a 1 year old boy.
- REBECCAFRIEDMAN, on 02/24/2009, -2/+6My personal favorite Crewe is Barkulus, the dog float.... it's a fundraiser for the animal shelter, and features dogs of all sizes and shapes in clever handmade costumes, such as Harry Pawter.
- chicagojack, on 02/24/2009, -2/+6I wish girls would allow me to trade beads for boobs year round
- ironeus, on 02/24/2009, -0/+4Picture #7 is bead heaven.
- Streyeder, on 02/24/2009, -0/+4Randazzo's has the BEST king cake. I order one every frikkin year.
- immatellyouwhat, on 02/24/2009, -2/+6A Briefer History:
1. Man gets drunk in the French Quarter
2. Finds colorful beads
3. Woman dropped them from balcony
4. Man will only throw them if ***** are shown
Happy Mardi Gras! - magus824, on 02/24/2009, -1/+4No. You really didn't.
- malschla, on 02/24/2009, -1/+4If you had looked at, and comprehended, those inconveniently *complex* symbols below the pretty pictures (often called "words"), you would know the answer to your poor attempt at humor.
- halfeatengod, on 02/25/2009, -0/+2Mardi Gras is in the top five best times I've ever had. I scored awesome beads without showing a single nipple (just lots of leg and loads of cleavage) AND NOLA is the best city in the South (possibly the whole country). The grocery stores have cup holders for your drinks, you can put the hoodoo on your worst enemy, all excesses are celebrated and jazz was BORN there!
- dragoonUNIT, on 02/25/2009, -0/+2i work in a bakery in NOLA, and i am so glad that i don't have to make another king cake until next year! :D they get to be a pain in the ass after 300 or so...
- Cholli8, on 02/24/2009, -3/+5Mardi gras is little more than drunken white trash doing everything imaginable to take possession of a stupid piece of plastic crap. When I was 6, a grown woman pushed me down so she could get a pair of "nice" beads. *****. That. *****.
Oh, and it's NEVER the women that you want to see naked who take their tops off. Trust me. - Nauree, on 02/24/2009, -0/+2Beads and titties...common misconception. Yes you get to see titties...but you dont really want too. The girls that show their titties are 95% of the time ***** you dont want to see. In fact, last year on Burbon I saw two people just straight ***** in the street. There was a circle of people around them watching in amazement. But, these were ugly people so it was more of a freak show. Also, there are a couple hole in the wall bars on Burbon were you can pay to get into to watch people just have sex but you have to be 21 to get in though.
- hayzeus, on 02/25/2009, -1/+3Only 6? Not a bad for typical Mardis Gras, all in all.
- NicoNicoNico, on 02/25/2009, -0/+2Sounds like you had a good time.
- omgwhataguy, on 02/24/2009, -0/+2What about drinking from an old boot or a shoe? It's called "Shoot the Boot" and when you're near the end, you need someone to get really close to the person drinking from it and scream "SUCK IT DRY!!!!" and if they do, everyone cheers.
- hayzeus, on 02/25/2009, -0/+2Sounds like the trauma is still fresh.
- bigeasyboy, on 02/24/2009, -0/+2I went to mardi gras parades everyday except today, and i caught a total of two beads. Thats how it should be done.
- hayzeus, on 02/25/2009, -0/+2"Barkus" -- there's also Mardis Paws on the Mandeville lakefront this Sunday (after Mardis Gras proper). Anybody in the area should check out the Barley Oak, the happiest place on earth.
- NicoNicoNico, on 02/25/2009, -0/+2This'll get buried along with this, but whenever someone mentions a sausage fest, I always think, "I could really go for some Bratwurst right now." For some reason, if I say that aloud, all the men in the room seem to get really uncomfortable. Just my random two cents.
- NicoNicoNico, on 02/25/2009, -0/+1Never heard of the latter, and I have a friend who lives there.
- pitchblack16, on 02/24/2009, -1/+2That's how the sea of boobs begins.
- RiMac, on 02/24/2009, -1/+2I celebrated by eating about 30 fun-size Snickers, Twix, Crunch Crisp, and Butterfingers.
Yeah. - Lanceruch, on 02/28/2009, -0/+1One of the best Mardi Gras is here
http://cebuimage.blogspot.com/2009/01/sinulog-2009 ... - bourbojeff, on 02/25/2009, -0/+1The first recorded in Louisiana near the mouth of the Mississippi was March 3, 1699 while Mobile had their celebration in 1703. You're right, while New Orleans wasn't founded until 1718, I do not think the 1699 celebration should be ignored.
- pitchblack16, on 02/24/2009, -8/+9Beads and titties...What more could you ask for, lol. Sorry, I just had to say that.
- pittpat, on 02/25/2009, -0/+1With that sentence you just proved you've never been to Mardi Gras!
- williamlee, on 02/25/2009, -0/+1It's mostly guys who go to Bourbon Street. C'mon, you should know better.
- otbeverly, on 02/25/2009, -0/+1"Why do Mobilians continue to think this is important?"
Mobile - first in Mardi Gras. Alabama - last in everything else. - otbeverly, on 02/25/2009, -0/+1They had to get rid of the plastic babies this year ... tragic. It's not the same without the cheap plastic choking hazard. Speaking of which, I'm going to choke down some cream cheese King Cake right now.
Oh, and just to beat the discussion below this: Woot -- Mardi Gras originated in Mobile, ... though I'm a native of New Orleans so I don't really care who claims to be "first." ... it's all one huge pain in the ass if you ask me (and nobody is). - Streyeder, on 02/25/2009, -0/+1Mine had a baby in it.
- Nephersir7, on 02/25/2009, -0/+1Fat Tuesday
- JustinJS, on 02/25/2009, -0/+1(.)(.)
- hayzeus, on 02/25/2009, -1/+1I live there, and I'm naked RIGHT NOW!
- DjOverEZ, on 02/24/2009, -2/+2I wonder what those kids in picture 6 had to do to get all those beads...
Edit: Do I wanna know what those kids in picture 6 had to do to get all those beads? - theneweddie, on 02/24/2009, -1/+1The Quarter is to Mardi Gras as Key West Fantasy Fest is to Halloween.
- akoostik, on 02/24/2009, -1/+1I went to Mardi Gras in St. Louis.. It was cold. I saw no boobies. But I did many beer bongs on top of an RV with a 50 year old mother named Sue.
- johnpeltier, on 02/25/2009, -0/+0I see this brought up frequently..Mobile clearly didn't make the tradition as well known as New Orleans, so why do Mobilians continue to think this is important?
And yes, i'm a NOLA native. - lepetitmousse, on 02/24/2009, -2/+2article needed more nudity
- rharris, on 02/25/2009, -2/+1Show your *****!
- fharz, on 02/25/2009, -1/+0What a nice history! nice article. i have digged it. could you check mine too. i look forward for you diggs. thanks in advance.
- johnpeltier, on 02/25/2009, -1/+0Sad, but i'm sure there are certain neighborhoods one can avoid to steer clear of most (if not all) of that.
- Streyeder, on 02/24/2009, -5/+4Mardi Gras was in Mobile, AL 45 years prior to NOLA. Ugh...
- mandarin, on 02/24/2009, -2/+1It's mostly guys who go there...
- inactive, on 02/25/2009, -3/+1how much cleavage?
- inactive, on 02/24/2009, -6/+0"Mandarin It's mostly guys who go there..." Sounds like a sausage fest ........no thanks
