I'll be riding in Babylon Thursday. Look for the guy with a howitzer for an arm.

Between knowing the right people and the above, yes.

There is a need for someone to invent a way to vacuum suction stuffed animals so they don't take up so much space on a float.

When I was a kid 25 years ago, we would fight and stomp over the little tiny cheap plastic beads - the ones that are so crappy you don't even see them anymore. The ones that came 12 packs of 12 to a small bag.

Now, after a parade, the streets are full of what 25 years ago we called the "big, fancy" beads.

The only beads people care about are really large ones (length or bead size) or ones with medallions.

Yeah I'll be out and about. Not hitting the ball, although I swear on everything I tried to pull some strings
I'll be at Orpheuscapade Monday though.

I am, how lit is yalls Float? I've calmed but every time I've road in a parade i really go all out.

Edit:

oVO, I'm serious. I live not far from halls den in the LGD/Channel and I've known some guys over the years that have rode. It's one of the ones I would like to give shot, I've enjoyed some of y'all fundraisers and have pumped money in personally
