Happy Mardi Gras!

[panyasan]

This is the only Enterprise Mardi Gras story that I know of. Anybody know of any others?

A Letter Home

This is really a fun story to read again. In a way, it makes me want to visit New Orleans (a beautiful city with lot's of music I am told, hopefully it still is).
Is Mardi Grass the same as Carnaval? In that way, Buurman's SocaTrip fits the bill.

Polish paczki is a Milwaukee tradition. Everyone thinks Milwaukee is a German city but it's a Polish city. Then come to think of it, it is an Italian city. With a Native American name. Heck it's a Heinz 57. A mongrel.

Yes, it is! All about Carnival/Mardi Gras.

It's a big metro Detroit ritual as well, because of Hamtramck. I love that they have a paczki right on the front page of their website! Any way, you can't grow up in SE or mid-Michigan without knowing what one is.

Ah! The things you learn on this site. From smilin' Bob till Mardi Gras. (Thanks, Distracted for the link).

Smiling Bob at Mardi Gras? Who was that masked man?

Uh, forget it.

And about "A Letter Home" - I always liked that story, Distracted.

No, I picked up Smilin'Bob in a different thread, but I think he would make a nice Halloween costume.

You know, Carnival is a very difficult time for me. I mean, with my legendary big mouth I end in the most compromising situations. This year couldn't be an exception. I was in the Carnival of Tolosa (the most famous around here, seven days of crazyness) and I had this exchange:

ESCRIBA: (to a guy) So, you're dressed as a prostitute.

GUY: (correcting) I'm a woman.

ESCRIBA: And why do you wear prostitute's clothes?

GUY: These are my sister's.

ESCRIBA: (looking for an exit) Mm-hmm...

[Alelou]

Welcome back, we've missed you!

OMG, that's hilarious, Escriba!

[Escriba]

You know, it wasn't funny right then. He was much taller than me. I could see the headline: "Dwarf beaten to death by prostitute."

[JadziaKathryn]

I'm sure it wasn't funny then, but it's quite an amusing story now that it's safely over.

[Linda]

Being on the short side myself, I'd be tempted to look for an exit too, Escriba! But it sounds like he didn't make the connection until after you got away, if he did at all?
