Cool. Carnival kicked off in New Orleans January 6th, as usual, with Funny Forty Fellows being their dorky selves. I haven't been to any parades. Doubt I'll make any this Carnival, although I might be in one on Mardi Gras.

Parade in my neighborhood last weekend with King Frankie Ford:

Thanks Edith Grove

I hope Reg Thorpe isn't insulted that you left him out.

Evening all indeed Edith. Hope that was Morte Subite or Duvel you were drinking there. (Sledgehammer Belgian beers available at d.b.a)

This is rather interesting: Cajun Carnival in southwest Louisiana, about 150 miles west of New Orleans.
Many of these people still speak Cajun French.

From [www.answers.com] :

In parts of the Cajun country, such as Eunice, Basile, Church Point and Mamou, the traditional Courir de Mardi Gras (French for the "Mardi Gras Run") is still run, sometimes by maskers on horseback led by "Le Capitaine" who gather ingredients for making the communal meal (usually a gumbo). Participants gather in costume and move from home to home requesting ingredients for the night's meal. This rural Mardi Gras draws on traditions that are centuries old as revelers sing "La Chanson de Mardi Gras", a song echoing medieval melodies. People escape from ordinary life partly through the alcohol many consume in their festive quest, but even more through the roles they portray. As they act out their parts in a wild, gaudy pageant, they are escaping from routine existence, freed from the restraints that confine them every other day in the year.[23] The capitaine maintains control over the Mardi Gras. He issues instructions to the riders as they assemble early in the morning and then leads them on their run. When they arrive at a farm house, he obtains permission to enter private property, after which the riders may charge toward the house, where the Mardi Gras sing, dance, and beg until the owner offers them an ingredient for a gumbo. Often, the owner will throw a live chicken into the air that the Mardi Gras will chase, like football players trying to recover a fumble. By mid to late afternoon, the courir returns to town and parades down the main street on the way to the location where the evening gumbo will be prepared.[23]
