My birthday falls on Fat Tuesday this year, and I was fortunate enough to spend this past weekend in St.Louis attending the Soulard Mardi Gras. I took lots of pictures, got lots of beads, and of course, drank at least one Hurricane in an over sized cup. I, mostly enjoyed the company I kept and had a great time making fun of the overly drunk college kids.
I know you probably can't tell from these pictures but every float has a portapotty on it, which is something I've always found very amusing.
Of course what adult Mardi Gras experience is complete before drinking out of an over sized cup? I filled mine with beads to bring back to the kids. I think they were happier to get their beads than to have their mommy home again. What about any of you? Have you ever attended a Mardi Gras celebration? Do you have one where you live?

Nope, nothing like that here at all!
When I was in French class in high school, we made MG floats and paraded them through the hallways and different classrooms at school!
Exactly why is there a porta-potty on every float?
