FAT TUESDAY!  You all know that we generally hate Tuesdays, but this one is an exception!  It's Mardis Gras, we're in New Orleans and it's FAT TUESDAY! - The wildest, craziest day anywhere on earth - and with over 1 million drunk people here to help us celebrate.  But Mardis Gras celebrations don't start on Fat Tuesday - nooooooo! - they started days ago and last night (Lundis Gras! - not kidding!) was no exception.

It all began with GREAT news when Kevin hooked up with the Homeless Assistance folks and got us a room for the night.  We got kicked out of our last room - something about all the noise and occupancy supposedly limited to 12 people.  It's all government B.S. - at one point we easily had 25 people in there, a German Shepard, a video crew and a couple of fluffers!  Whatever!  Anyway, with a new place to stay for the night we headed out to party!

We hooked up with our friends from California, Randy & Helen, and made our way to one of the countless parades.  In addition to beads, the folks on the floats throw all kinds of other things too. - stuffed animals, coins, Frisbees (registered trademark 1968 Whamo Company), condoms (Not kidding!) - EVEN LINGERIE!  Speaking of women's underwear, Kevin snagged a GREAT bra that fits him perfectly and, well, he's now more open to an "alternative" lifestyle.  Stacy did her part to earn allot (and we mean ALLOT!) of beads, and now pretty much all 1 million people know about her snake tattoo, BUT WAIT!  It's Fat Tuesday and the best is yet to come...

      
Kevin got us a new room with these folks' help!        Helen puts a finger in to see if he really has an inverted nipple!

      
Randy's big lens?  You know what they say -  big pictures!                  Hmmmmm, How did Stacy get all those beads?
