Just a quick thought before I hit the road for a solo road trip with the blind-and-deaf shih tzu for Elder Daughter's bridal shower:
There's something really magical about a city that throws a Super Bowl Victory celebration, a Super Bowl Welcome Home parade, and Mardi Gras within a week and a half!
Where else would you see a smiling lady firefighter backing up her big ol' truck to maneuver her way amid a throng of revelers to the end of the Oshun parade, all while wearing a black and gold feather boa to celebrate the Saints' Super Beauxl victory?
And where else would Reggie Bush nimbly hop off the Orpheus float during a delay caused by a break-down up the line so he could trot up and down the barriers on St. Charles, holding out the actual Lombardi Trophy so parade revelers could touch it and share the spoils of victory?
I'm thinking not in Indianapolis.
Sorry. It had to be said at some point.
Some great pics to come in a few days! Including one of Moogie masking as a bee. Yep. A bee.
Heh.
And where else would Reggie Bush nimbly hop off the Orpheus float ... the actual Lombardi Trophy so parade revelers could touch it and share the spoils of victory?
ReplyDeleteAhem. Detroit, Stanley Cup. But you can't drink beer out of that Lombardi-thingie trophy. You CAN drink beer from the Cup, and it makes the rounds at Dee-troit bars after being won. I have photographic proof.
Sorry. It had to be said at some point. ;-)
Can't wait for the pics!!
Moogie, have a great trip...you little buzzer, ya'! Don't sting nobody. But if you do, make it hurt BAD!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the pix. And, I'll bet Buck never drank Jax from his silly old icy cup dealie.
Well, let me retract that. He probably did.
Andy: Yup. And did the requisite "stumble down Bourbon Street clasping a hurricane glass from Pat O'Brien's," too. The first time I was in N'Awlins... not so much the subsequent times.
