Being as how I used to partake in this wonderful excuse of drinkin and eating moon-pie, you catch beads with your face, watch people get nude and either dance or also catch beads with certain parts of the now exposed body (male of course, women jus use their luggage to get some beads or cake to sustain the fat that engrosses the body). Sometimes, at least the few I've been to, involves riots too. Floats, parades, horses crappin everywhere, go-carts slippin and hydro-planin on said, horse feces, etc etc etc. Happy Mardi Gras, off to get wasted~
