1.) What is the history of the tradition behind the costumes and floats? Is it basically like Carnival in Brazil?
It's more like a carnival in Africa.
2.) What is the purpose and function of a Krewe, and why did they take mythological characters as their respective namesakes?
BUNCH of retards acting like children fighting over 5 cent trinkets
3.) Are the Mardi Gras balls pretty much just Nola high society, or do regular folks like myself have the capability to join a Krewe and party with y'all elites?
People like you can only stand on the sidewalk
Wishing all of you a safe and enjoyable Fat Tuesday.

In all my years of going to Mardi Gras, I’ve never seen a fight break out over the throws.
All fights are usually over space. Usually it’s because someone moves in someone else’s space, either by standing in front of them, or bumping into them or their kids or wife or something. I’ve seen quite a few verbal fights break out because one family gets out there 5-6 hours or even more before a parade, and some randoms show up 10 minutes before the parade starts and stands in front of them.
I saw it today in Metairie. This Asian family was there at 6am and had prime spots, then when they closed the roads, this family of 6 came from out of nowhere and propped their chairs right in front of the Asian family.
