Baby Kong does not want your beads. But he does want you to have a banana.

The Mardi Gras Czar had it wrong when I wrote it was OK to hurl beads at Baby Kong in Bacchus when it rolls at 5 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 11. CORRECTION: Baby Kong is NOT a bead depository and hasn't been since riders were added to the float around 1985. It's against the law and a bad idea -- sort of like darting across the street through a marching band in mid-song or allowing your boyfriend to pull you up on his moving Tucks float.

Don't do it. Injuries -- and arrests -- happen.

"Throwing beads back at Baby Kong is a lot like firing a gun into the air on New Year's Eve," explains McDonald Provosty, a second-generation Baby Kong rider. "The bullets will ultimately land somewhere."

I was just thinking the same thing. On the other hand, I wouldn't be throwing beads at Baby Kong because I'd be too busy trying to knock the beer out of the riders' hands, so mission kinda accomplished?

I don't understand. What kind of "welders mask" gets ruin by being hit with beads?
