Us peons in the general public won't know who the next Rex will be until a few days before Mardi Gras, so he'd have to attend board meetings is a mask. Come to think of it, that could be kinda entertaining!Moogie Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05665429537064900337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569049699726344002.post-15604397508304639152010-10-08T15:05:57.681-05:002010-10-08T15:05:57.681-05:00Heh!

Is this going to be a rotating deal...like when there is a new King of Carnival, will he be on the Board instead of this guy? Or, is it just that this guy who is going to be on the Board happens to be the current King of Carnival.<br /><br />These are questions MUST be answered...Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945901944078164054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569049699726344002.post-80660977067405711062010-10-08T14:31:41.156-05:002010-10-08T14:31:41.156-05:00You're right, Andy.

We certainly know which characterization would hold more sway with the majority of the NOLA electorate, don't we?Moogie Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05665429537064900337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569049699726344002.post-90335382530382828182010-10-08T13:58:23.311-05:002010-10-08T13:58:23.311-05:00It's really probably not a bad idea.
