Well before I tell you about our Mardi Gras parade, I want to make it perfectly clear that there was no flasing or lifting up of shirts to get a few trinkets. You need to know that this is adult park and the breasts here are not as perky as they once were! And because of this they might not get a necklace or candy, but hoots or laughter. So there you are, enough said.
Regardless of a few sagging body parts, in general we are a enthusiastic group. Many of the streets or clubs within the park joined in the spirit and participated in the parade and came up with imaginative themes and outrageous costumes.
Normally mature people have sheepishly admitted to becoming competitive -- and almost addicted -- to collecting the most throws from strategic positions along the streets.
Lots of shouts "over here", Hey Tom, thown some this way" along with a" Hey Baby, over here"
When it was over we all went to a Mardi Gras lunch in the mail hall, where trading trinkets was seen. "I'll give you two Tootsie rolls for the purple beads".
