z0mfg carnival season

[navkat]

So hungover.

Carnival?



Are you down in the islands? Or is there something happening in the states that's actually worthy of the name?

[Suu]

I'm assuming Mardi Gras or Gasparilla.

[Jenne]

She's in the Gulf area, so yeah, Mardi Gras.  I think the natives don't call it Mardi Gras the whole season through.

[Suu]

In Venice, Carnival starts right after Christmas and goes until Ash Wednesday. That's A LOT of partying.

Say, guhl, cans I interests you in ticketz to teh mardi-gras? Fo' a hunnert dollas I can tells you where you gots yo' shoes at.

Yeah, man.

Shit starts from the Epiphany (06 JAN) til phiZAT TOOZdae. It's basically an excuse for the French/Spanish Catholic Louisiana-Purchase (almost the entire gulf coast region) to give up being Catholic for Lent, drink and act like royal buffoons in general...as long as you wear a mask and drink that shit out of plastic cups like these:


Side note: the cup up front is from the Mystic Society "Knights of Revelry." People aren't supposed to know who the members of a given society are (they MUST stay masked and are supposed to wear gloves) but it's common knowledge that Jimmy Buffet is one of their members. (ECH, I'm sure you just LOOOOOVE Mistuh Buffet, given the shit he keeps doing to commercialize and fuck up the Islands).

The navkat loves teh mardi gras. LOVE.
You want chaos? You want discord? We got it covered. Mardi Gras is Easter for we Cult of Ecstasy "holy rollers." It is the second coming of Joe Cain (praise be!)

My hatred of Jimmy Buffet has nothing to do with his idiotic attempts to transform the Leeward Islands into one big chain of Margaritavilles and more to do with the fact that he's a kiddy fiddler.

Seriously, he's not allowed on Jost Van Dyk under pain of being put in a Frenchie fish-trap.
