The Mardi Gras State of Mind

Didn't know you were gay

Not that it changes anything

Buddahaid · 02-23-14, 06:22 PM

Who's gay?

I learned everything I need to know about Mardi Gras on Bourbon Street back in 93.

(Been there, done that, bought a few Hurricanes)

Is it Mardi Gras time again already?

Mardi gras, is about Beads and Boobies. In that order. No beads, no boobies!

Buddahaid · 02-23-14, 07:19 PM

Or perhaps where you're at? I'll be in New Orleans and there will be all kinds of people for certain.

I find it's way better to march in the parade then just watch on the sidelines and possibly end up in one of the paddy wagons if you over drink. There is only one stop at the halfway point to wet your whistle when you march.

The Mom's Ball is a wild all night costume party and gets pretty Bacchanalian.

It's funny in a way, since Mardi Gras is technically a Catholic thing.

Only place to be, I've never celebrated it, nor been there, but even I know that.

Still, we get the Notting Hill Carnival which is an event of its own, so enjoy.

Mardi Gras is also known in the UK as Shrove Tuesday. You get to carnival, we get to make crepes. Woohoo!

Might want to do some research it has nothing to do with homosexuality though people who are gay certainly celebrate Madi Gras.

You should check out the women in Brazilian Carnival (Carnival Brazil) then tell me if it is gay.

Seems to me that it's not anymore...

There's an episode of An Idiot Abroad where Karl Pilkington goes to Brazil during Mardi Gras.

Mardi Gras isn't my kind of thing...but some enjoy that life. I see no reason to infringe upon it.

Quite amazing how many public holidays start out that way though, St. Patricks Day for example (the clue being in the name

), still, it's a good reason for a party.

Too late Jim, you know the media got a hold of those pics:
