If I'm not back in three days...

[Sanis Prent]

...then I'm somewhere on Bourbon Street, lying in a gutter, and staring at the stars.

Mardi Gras, here I come.

Don't be suprised if I call and ask you to post bail :)

[Dae Jinn]

Have fun Chickie, and be safe :)

[Figrin D'an]

Have fun dude. Let us know how many boobs you see. :p

[Sanis Prent]

In dozens?

[Taylor Millard]

YUS!!!

I mean...yes.

[Admiral Lebron]

Boobies eh? Take pictures... lots. :D

[Sanis Prent]

Guess I'd better get a cam :D

A great thing about N'awlins....they have rock-bottom liquor prices. I'm looking at buying 2-3 handles of kentucky bourbon...one of which I will expend while down in the nasty French quarter.

[Admiral Lebron]

A couple cameras would do the trick.

[Sage Hazzard]

Yeah and sell the tapes to Girls Gone Wild. :lol

Have fun dude. :)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

You make me sick.

Sick with envy.

I want to go! :cry

[Zakatiel Rhinehart]

*bites tounge on remark he... O what the hell...

Why? You need to go LD? You don't need to look at boobies, you got your own pair.

no, no... see, deep down, she's a party chick, so she wants to go to collect beads. ;)

[Zakatiel Rhinehart]

pfft! Thats what they all say!
I mean, if you wanted beads go to Canada, I hear they finally cought up on that "Bead Craze" We had when I was in elementary school.

lol... This is the voice of jealousy btw...

[Lilaena De'Ville]

:D I want to go just so I can say I did. And maybe I want to flash people! You don't know!

You don't know me! You don't know me!

:p

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Anyway I'm going to DT Portland for Mardi Gras with some friends. Should be fun. :)

[Zakatiel Rhinehart]

to many damn protesters in Washington... I hear that those fools of a Anachry group that hangs around here is going to crash the Seattle Mardi Party. More burning, looting, and car flipping... And they just got Seattle all fixed up after the last round of rioting.

Yeah, but it's not quite the same without the gratuitous nudity.

;)

[Zakatiel Rhinehart]

Yes, the nudity... Problem is, you get both the good and the ugly.

"Grandma! PLEASE, don't take th- OH MY GOD!!! GRANDMA!!! THAT IS JUST SICK!!!"

[Lilaena De'Ville]

>_< Yuk!

Well there might be nudity. It only takes one person.





It wouldn't be ME, however. :eek

[Sanis Prent]

I want to go just so I can say I did. And maybe I want to flash people! You don't know!

You don't know me! You don't know me!

As much as I try, I just can't see you as being the type of person who would spontaneously flash people.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Yeah, I never would.

I talk a big talk.

[Darth Viscera]

Last time I was at Mardi Gras was when I was only 9 years old, back in the good old age-1992.

Unfortunately, I was not on the lookout for boobies. However, I did buy my first Playboy at the age of 12, so myeah!

*mutters something about getting lost in the crowd while chasing after a vendor selling $5.00 cans of silly string*

*shakes fist in the air while cursing about silly string, aka "The Doom of Man"*

[Alpha]

:lol. Have fun Charley. :) Bring back pictures!!! :D

[Xazor Elessar]

*slaps her Brother*

You're too young for that sort of thing Alphy! ;) *huggles*

I'd love to go just to be there......and get beads..... :mischief

I will go someday and I'll be the QUEEN OF MARDI GRAS! :mischief Or...not..... *hides* :lol

[Alpha]

*gets slapped* :) Hey, I'm 15! :D

[Lenore]

Oh have fun Charley!! I envy you...but I'll be there soon enough :D

I have friends that live in New Orleans and all over Louisiana, we're going as soon as I hit 21...whoo!

[Sanis Prent]

See ya, suckers!

Debauchery, here I come :D

[Sorreessa Tarrineezi]

:lol I'd get lots o' beads.... :lol

[Lilaena De'Ville]

My roommate had a good point. She said, "Ever noticed that the people at concerts that flash the band are always the ones with bad boobs?"

I'd be afraid. I'd be very afraid.

Of course, at Mardi Gras you have so MANY people you're bound to see some great racks.


Dad, whats a rack?

'...it's a country.'

[Kelt Simoson]

whoa a woman talking about racks like a man does....

[AmazonBabe]

LD, I think you shocked Kelt. :lol

[Admiral Lebron]

Next year.. I will go. At the ripe old age of... 16. ^.^

[Alpha]

:lol

[Admiral Lebron]

You can come too alpha!

[Sorreessa Tarrineezi]

:lol

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Sorry Kelt, didn't mean to scare you. ;)

[Sorreessa Tarrineezi]

sure sure LD... :rolleyes

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I remember the mardi gras riots in Seattle last year; I was 5 minutes away from them :|

[Zakatiel Rhinehart]

wait... what alpha doing with my Mage???

I KILL YOU BOY!!!

LV!!! Have you been selling my stolen mages to people?! LV! Drat it, where are you?

[Sanis Prent]

(falls back into thread)

....I'm back!

:x :zzz

[Zeke]

A few questions:

1) Was it fun?
2) How many boobs did you see?
3) How many different types of alcohol did you consume?

Welcome back, Charley.

[Sanis Prent]

1. The greatest party I've ever attended in all my life.

2. Unsure. I'd estimate around 50 1/2 racks, though. Most on the upper tier balconies on Bourbon Street, but quite a few on the street below, though they were harder to get a peep in on. I only gave out 10 sets of beads, as I'm choosy about what I want to give away. In other words, I came home with literally 35 pounds of beads.

3. Let me see. Friday night was spent entirely on Bourbon Street. There, I had 2 190 Octanes, a Hand Grenade, 2 shots of Jim Beam, 1 shot of Absynthe, and a Miller Genuine Draft (64 ounce bottle). Yesterday, I had a cup of sweet tart in the early afternoon at the Tucks parade, then a liter bottle of Jim Beam throughout the Endymion festival. Once finished, me and my friends stumbled back down to the Quarter, for some fun.

[Alana Stormcloud]

um dang Charley... I can't beleave your breathing after that lol pssst was the Absynthe good. I have always wanted to try that :)

[Zeke]

A fourth question I forgot to post: Do you have pictures of said B:D:DBS? :D

[Sanis Prent]

NO! Its awful crap! Try it once, but never again!

I had it recommended by Drew and Peter, so I was in good spirits when I saw a big neon sign for olde Absynthe down in the quarter. Now, what you have to understand about Bourbon Street is that the most important rule is...piss strategically! There are no public-access restroom facilities down in the quarter. To use the restroom, you have to go in a bar, and buy a drink. You use your receipt as a bathroom pass. So, quite often, you buy drinks just to facilitate finding a place to pee. So I stumbled into Mango Mango, and ordered a shot of Absynthe, since it was smaller and cheaper than their mixed drinks. Came in a test tube, and its pale green...like the mutagen from Ninja Turtles. I downed it, and it tasted like liquid licorice....absolutely awful. At any rate, it served a purpose, and I got to pee, and live to fight another day.

[Sanis Prent]

Zeke: Most of my tit shots were later in the evening (I didn't buy a camera until about midnight). I'd seen a fair many down on street level before then. I got the camera, and was snapping shots of girls that were flashing on the 2nd story balconies, but these pics didn't turn out very well. I do have one good pic from close-up, however. I'll scan some of my pictures shortly.

(Actually, I think there were more pictures of tits in here, supposedly, but I don't know what happend. Could just be my imagination)

[Alana Stormcloud]

:lol omg I love your stories... I'm cracken up lol

[Loki Ahmrah]

Absynthe is liquid enlightenment. It's the green ambrosia of the Gods. But it's most definately not for everyone. :)

As for the pissing problem, I would be skint by the end of the night because as any who drink with me quickly realise, it goes through me ludicrously fast and I went for a pee after every pint of lager I had this evening. I want a better bladder. :\

[Sanis Prent]

And wear old nasty shoes and socks that you won't mind burning. The Quarter is comprised mostly of mud, piss, and beer, intermingled with garbage and pavement.

[Loki Ahmrah]

By the by, what's the deal with these beads?

[Sanis Prent]

Well, my problem was the 64 ounce MGD. I got flashed because of that more than I did my beads, but it made me piss almost constantly. I ducked in one bar, shot Jim, took a piss, came out, walked RIGHT BACK IN FOR ANOTHER SHOT, and had to pee again.

Vicious cycle :)

[Sanis Prent]

Beads are a Mardi Gras currency. They're cheap plastic necklaces, with shiny things on them. Guys offer them to girls, in exchange for favors. Some girls offer them to guys, also for favors. There is a lot of negotiation involved. Its like an Arabian bazaar at times.

[Loki Ahmrah]

Favours eh? I'll have to go to the next Mardi Gras when it comes around. :eek

[Sanis Prent]

The most creative was one girl who had rows of candy necklaces on her neck. She wanted one of my Endymion medallions, and I said that it would cost her beyond the usual. She said she'd flash only one tit, but that in exchange, I could grope AND eat one of the candy necklaces off her.

That was definitely my favorite :)

[Sorreessa Tarrineezi]

O_o o_O :lol

[Loki Ahmrah]

I was wrong about these Mardi Gras things. I was under the impression they were festivals celebrated by the gay community in which men in drag are the main feature. (Shrug)

[Zeke]

Now if only I could afford to go to such a thing as this...

[Sanis Prent]

No...its a Catholic thing (originally). It is the holiday leading up to the beginning of Lent. So Mardi Gras (aka Fat Tuesday...even though its technically weeks of celebration) is more or less an anything-goes, endless party across an entire city. You basically enjoy everything in excess that you possibly can, and get it out of your system for 40 days of fasting during Lent.

That being said...it is ANYTHING GOES. Yes there are men in drag down there. It happens. Be wary. But its not a feature or anything. Most just put on fancy facepaint or masks, feather boas, beads, and such (the colors of the festival are yellow, blue, purple, and green), and go have a good time. It can be as simple as everyday people walking around and having some beers, and it can be as complex as the stuff from Moulin Rouge. As I said, anything goes.

[ReaperFett]

thats just over here Loki. It does make for confusing reading :D

[Loki Ahmrah]

Moulin Rouge?

(Grumbles something about wanting to do a bead exchange with Nicole Kidman) :grumble

[Sanis Prent]

Could probably find an impersonator somewhere in the Quarter. Just be careful. Most impersonators ARE guys in drag.

[Sorreessa Tarrineezi]

:lol was the only one wearing our beads we decorated BB with these past few days and ppl have been looking at me funny....

[Sanis Prent]

Now that I've finished my nutritional meal of gas station cheetos, I can scan pictures.

You know, I now have this image of you wandering around these streets whilst drinking, groping and bead-sharing with people oblivious to the fact that they're guys. The more you tell me about this Mardi Gras, the more I believe it is just a gay festival and you were too drunk to notice. :lol

[Sorreessa Tarrineezi]

:lol

[Sanis Prent]

Possibly, however I also saw a significant portion show their downstairs equipment, which was in the proper alignment, if you catch my meaning.

[Sorreessa Tarrineezi]

:rolleyes

[Sigil Roland]

Dang, It's Mardi Gras already!

Dang it, I hate missing that party.

[Loki Ahmrah]

Oh God, I need to go out and have a good shag. I'm absolutely ravenous! :cry

It was the mention of "downstairs equiptment" that did it. If I don't get laid soon all my frustration will manifest itself in aggression and it will not be pretty! :grumble

[Sanis Prent]

CRAP! I was digging through my photos and found this:


We are returning your processed negatives without certain prints. We have established guidelines in our 1-Hour Photo Labs prohibiting us from printing those negatives which we have classified as unsuitable.

We regret any inconvenience this may have caused you and trust you will understand our position.

sonufabitch!

[Sorreessa Tarrineezi]

Haha!-Nelson

[Zeke]

ARGH! DAMMIT! :cry

[ReaperFett]

Most do that. Didnt you know?

[Sorreessa Tarrineezi]

some turn the other cheek to it though.....

[Sanis Prent]

I'm undaunted. I'll just have to find a film place with less morals than Wal Mart.

[Sorreessa Tarrineezi]

:lol

[Sanis Prent]

I thought it was only for things like kiddie porn or whatever. I dunno. I don't make it a course of habit (unfortunately) of photographing naked women.

[Loki Ahmrah]

I don't see what the big deal is though. I mean it's private and confidential anyway. I suppose this is the advantage of digital cameras, although I'll be damned before I fork out money for the insane prices they charge.

[ReaperFett]

Well you are ina way invading someones privacy. One day Charley is taking Mardi Gras photos, the next he is shimmying up a tree to get a good view of the girl down the roads bedroom window :)

[Sigil Roland]

Yeah, I was about to suggest that you get a digital camera but I can't even afford a good one on my Wal Mart Paycheck.

[Sanis Prent]

Fett, that has been thrown out on precedent before...in Mardi Gras no less. A girl sued because she got on Girls Gone Wild. Judge threw it out, basically saying "You flashed in the Quarter, idiot...what did you expect?"

[ReaperFett]

Yes, ONE judge. Whos to say the next person will sue the processors for actually going through with it? Is it worth it?


And using my example earlier, could you not argue that the girl shouldnt change within eyesight of a tree if she didnt want to be photographed?

[Loki Ahmrah]

Another possibility might be that by some wicked quirk of fate you handed your negatives over to the parent of "Random Titty Flasher #3" and they were unimpressed. :uhoh

[ReaperFett]

or, handed them over to #3 ;)

[Morgan Evanar]

Ugh, with all this whining about Charley's pictures of boobs at Mardi Gras, I'd think you were gay, Fett.

Too bad those people at Wall-Mart are afraid of boobies. =[

[Admiral Lebron]

I just wanted pictures... :(

[Sanis Prent]

Also...the Prime Directive of Charley's Rules of Travel is:


When outside state lines, it is perfectly legal to fake an accent to pick up girls.

Friday night: German
Saturday night: English

Its so effective, its scary.

[AmazonBabe]

or, handed them over to #3

:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol

OMG! I nearly split my side laughing at that one, Fett!! (And, yes, I DO know what ya meant. :))

Glad to hear you had fun, Charley! And judging by those pics, it looks like you had a blast! :rollin

[Lady Vader]

Oh yeah, and...

ALPHA!!! What the HELL you doin with Dyzm's Mini Mage, boy?! You give 'im back, ya here???????? Or I'll rightly come over and whip ya one but good!!! :verymad

[ReaperFett]

Ugh, with all this whining about Charley's pictures of boobs at Mardi Gras, I'd think you were gay, Fett.
Sorry to dissapoint you, Im not :)

[Darth Viscera]

You just enjoy arguing every possible arbitrary thing to death :)


(the colors of the festival are yellow, blue, purple, and green)

BLUE?!?!?! No blue! Just yellow, purple and green.

Having dozens of cousins who live in the Big Easy, I'm absolutely of the opinion that 99% of the people who live there are what Charley refers to as "taint". I have not been able to find ONE person in that city who wears a monocle and top hat. They just hop in pickup trucks and drive on the wrong side of the street.

King cakes even at Burger King, though.

Charley, did you get your hands on a shrimp poboy while you were in town?

[Sanis Prent]

No, I didn't get much of the local cuisine. Friday night, we had a brisket before going out to the Quarter. Saturday morning, we had king cake, later on, sausage & red beans & rice, and jambalaya. Popeyes chicken during the parade. Cafe DuMonde Beignets after going to Bourbon St. Sunday morning, doughnuts.

I wanted to get some crawfish, but I couldn't afford it on my budget.

[Darth Viscera]

I'd rather avoid crawfish, myself. My dumb piece cousin Carlee grabbed a handful of crawfish and started chasing me around with them when I was 7, traumatized me. Those things are creepy up close, and I hate the sight of all crestacians.

And if I ever see someone sucking the head off of a crawfish again, I swear I shall have the sudden urge to smack them with the dumb--- stick. YEGGGGH!

[Sanis Prent]

I love crawfish. Every May, there's a crawfish festival in Birmingham, and me and my friend go, and eat $20 of bugs apiece. They're awesome.

[Darth Viscera]

Bugs!

*shudders*

I'd pay $20 to smash a good amount of the things into dust with a really big, flat hammer, but they're icky! I won't go near them!

[Sanis Prent]

(shrug)

Its definitely not for everyone. I don't suck the head on those things, at least. Thats just too nasty for my taste. But yeah as far as them being a bit gross...the smell doesn't wash off your hands easily. But thats a small price to pay for some good food :)

[Sanis Prent]

I took a look at my negatives...


...:o!!!!

OMG I can't believe some of the pictures I took. No wonder Wally-world refused to print some ^_^;

LOL...

A little more noticably explicit when you're not drunk, huh? ;)

[Sanis Prent]

I think their anti-smut policy prohibits them from developing pictures with more than one exposed breast on them. I had 6 pictures missing from my roll...all of which were pretty damn nice. I honestly don't remember taking that many up-close pictures.
