Super User Sam Posted February 16, 2010 Super User Posted February 16, 2010 Just letting the rest of the world know that today is Mardi Gras. Anything goes, especially in the French Quarter. I would share the French Quarter pictures that I will be receiving with everyone except for two reasons: 1. This is a family site so I don't think Glenn and the moderators would allow the pictures being posted, and; 2. I still can't figure out how to post pictures. Eat, drink and be merry today, or as we say in Louisiana: Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler P.S. LSU is closed on Monday and Tuesday of this week. No profs to teach the classes. They are in the French Quarter since Friday night. ;D ;D ;D ;D Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 16, 2010 Super User Posted February 16, 2010 My wife's company held a management conference in New Orleans last week. One of the guys swears he saw someone sober last Thursday. Is that possible? 8-) Quote
Tokyo Tony Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 My uncle lives in New Wallins, as you guys pronounce it, and when I was maybe 8 years old, for some reason I went down during Mardi Gras to visit the fam and enjoy the festivities...at least as much as a little kid can. I remember catching all the beads and dabloons thrown off the floats and stuffing them in my sweatpants (tucked into my socks) until I could barely walk. There are also certain awesome images I have imprinted in my brain :-) Seriously though, what parents think it's a good idea for a little kid to go there during Mardi Gras? I remember all the people acting funny (wasted), and many strange happenings. I'd love to go back at this age. Quote

HossFly Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 Everyone should experience Mardi Gras at least one time..... It actually extends from 'Nawlins',LA to Pascagoula,MS/Mobile,AL where it is originated from. One big 'ole party.....just be AWARE of the cops, they REALLY will arrest you for doing stupid things....we won't say what, but, you know...... Quote
