[quote]according to International Olympic Committee member Dick Pound.[/quote] Is this the onion?...

Yeah exactly, and it all ran smoothly at least according to what we saw. ...

Yep. They were still working on them right before we loaded up I think. We were delayed a bit getting to the floats. ...

Damn right. :lol: Wish I would've noticed you earlier so I could throw you some stuff. ...

Sucks for you. It was the best ride I've had, and a lot of guys were saying similar things. Each tandem float road close to each other and stopped together so I don't know what you're talking about with bacchagator. The stall was more like 20 minutes too, not 45. ...

That sucks. I was really impressed with how Kern/Bacchus was able to get us set up so quickly. We all had a tractor and a generator on each float. I think I heard something like 120 total floats. :lol:...

It's like blaming a car for a car wreck. ...

[quote]Those laws were in effect long before Boomers were in charge.[/quote] The question was why they [i]still[/i] exist, not why they exist in the first place. ...

[quote]because ppl think it matters[/quote] No, because people like to have fun, and it's really fun. ...

[quote]Mardi Gras doesn't happen in the French Quarter [/quote] New Orleans is only the Quarter to people like OP. :Lol:...

Hell yeah, I'll find you. :Nana: Apparently all of our throws this year are speciality throws so I'll have tons of good stuff. No more plain plastic it sounds like. ...

[quote]Even though the parades are required to be open, I don't see any asian riders or members. Outsiders are definitely made to feel like outsiders and eventually terminate their membership. That's how the racism and segregation is maintained post-Taylor.[/quote] Just my one section of one floa...

14, 3rd section, NG side at the very front. Sounds like each section will have a tractor now though so hopefully it doesn't change anything. ...

It was nice 2-3 years ago when Mardi Gras was pretty under the radar, and no one really came. These millennials and their instabook apps have really ruined the intimate celebration it used to be. ...

[quote] I can't speak to the psychology of the drunk riders but drunk riders should not be a thing. I know a few people who ride and really it's only a big excuse to get wasted for them. You hear stories of kegs on floats, barely being able to stand by the end of the parade, vomit buckets, hangover...

Because boomers. ...

Lilah's in Shreveport is great. ...

Shut up idiot...

Bacchus announced they will comply with the order. I guess we will just have a tractor pull each section? Such a ridiculous overreaction. ...

Gotcha. You didn't go to the extravaganza? ...
