Howdy.
It's that time. Now, just to let you know, this KdV won't be as good as last year's. It can't be. Last year's KdV was catharsis central. This year, it will be a parade.
A Krewe du Vieux parade, but still, just a parade.
Evidently, I'm the new poster boy of carnival, as my mime pic is in this week's Gambit, and all over nola.com today. The caption was "Chris Rose is king of Krewe du Vieux". I hope they aren't insinuating that I'm Rose. Brian has a screencap of it.
In keeping with wearing white and black horizontally striped shirts, I'm wearing a convict's uniform. Pretty much all of our subkrewe is dressed in the finest prison attire. Our theme is that we need a return to competent corruption...not this incompetent corruption, like Nagin is so fond of.
I'm thinking about carrying a picture of Meffert's yacht around my neck to remind everybody of how corrupt this sumbitch is.
Oh well, we had a nice party on Wednesday, where we presented our King, Chris Rose, with a framed pic as described by Adrastos.
Here are more pix of the party. Enjoy, and I'll throw you sumtin.
Rose, looking at his loot.
Rose and I, discussing Cuban cigars.
Rose giving me a man hug.
"Remember, it's Carnival Time..."
"...all the time"
Da wife wif Uncle Lionel.
I saw that pic on Nola.com and had to do a double take. i thought I was at your blog.

No, Varg. As opposed to NOLA.com, my blog is well researched and cites sources.

On parade, man! Best to you and the Krewe. You make Rose look malnourished.

Oooooh, you poster boy, you! You're gettin' around, or, at least, your picture is.

Uncle Lionel looks very happy with Hana...

I take it Rose doesn't read the blog, or at least hasn't lately. Unless he was about to put you into a half-nelson in that one shot... or maybe, in his heart, he knows you're right about the Midura piece.

I asked him if he remembered my email, and he just said he got a LOT of email about that particular column.

And Adrastos, Uncle Lionel has his eyes on my wife's mom. We went to go see Kermit at Rock and Bowl, and Lionel wouldn't let her sit down, they were dancin' so much.

I can't wait to see you all at the parade tonight!

But it is the right being AGAINST the left and the left being AGAINSTthe right that is the problem.Government has kind of bmcoee like Clint Eastwood in For A Few DollarsMore. And we the American people are like the two gangs that controlthe town. Clint's character had no loyalty to either side & wasjust looking to enrich himself while undermining both sides. Public depravity needs to be on display, exposed for what itis a shallow pool for people that are out of control.

Gee, I didn't even know I was a Person Of Interest until way after the investigation was over. I still feel manigled but Loki and Alan(?) were most apologetic. At least it was cleared up before they made me return the food I ate!-M
