THIS IS WHAT THE WORLD WILL LOOK LIKE WHEN IT ENDS!
ASH WEDNESDAY! It's only appropriate that the day after Fat Tuesday is the beginning of Catholic Lent. Let's have a go here - what are you giving up for Lent? We're giving up not drinking on Wednesdays! We figure it'll be tough, but it is for a good cause. But more important than some bogus holy day that Hallmark doesn't make cards for, is that yesterday was Fat Tuesday - the big, BIG day (and end) of Mardi Gras.
Yes we dressed in costume, yes everyone else dressed in costume, yes we all drank a lot of beer (only Budweiser!) and YES there was sin and debauchery. What else is new? This stuff has been going on in New Orleans for hundreds of years and this year is no different. Well, it's sorta different because we now have "hope" with the new Obama-Rama show and maybe we can get our hands on some of that stimulus money to buy more beads. We don't really like throwing them at women baring their breasts (although we do like bare breasts), but we do enjoy aiming for the crazies with bullhorns yelling at us to repent (NOT KIDDING!).
Folks, Mardi Gras is over for another year and we're outta here. If people aren't gonna strip in 40 degree weather for a 5 cent string of plastic beads then why hang around? We're airborne and headed back to the trailer park in Palm Springs. It's amazing how easy it was to lift a few tickets from some drunk tourists from Iowa and change them over for a West Coast bound flight. Mardi Gras? We say "Budweiser Gras" and we'll see you in California...
SUPER BONUS DAY - EIGHT (COUNT 'EM) EIGHT PICTURES!
Tonya & Mike didn't know that medicine required a license! Bourbon Street with 1 million of our friends!
And here's a friend that we offered to help medically! Oh yeah, and we also offered her a free taxi ride!
We certainly didn't want to party with these folks! But now these friends - we like the way they think!
Nobody is sure why Stacy was spanking a giant potato! Happy Mardi Gras from Kevin & Stacy at Riding4Beer
Question! Why is it that out of all those pics Stacy is the only one wearing beads?

We must repent ! We must repent together about 35 years from now ya silly bastards ya. Obviously these photographs show us that you two were sinning once again. That makes us so jealous - so jealous that we were not there participating in those adult games and drinking heavily some of that Budweiser. We are glad that at least you're having some fun. We got another 8 inches of f-ing snow last night so I have to get that Honda snowblower out again this morning. But remember this always my dear friends, we cannot help but love you two . Have a great weekend.

You guys look just like Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley from the Pirates of the Caribbean series. Could it be that another pirate movie is being made and the two of you are the stars? We can see the title now, " Pirates of the Gulf Coast: the Tale of the Silly Bastards" (with credit to Guy and Cary). A swashbuckiling tale of "Bud Wiser," the King of Beers and his lovely pirate queen. Together they leave a trail of broken hearts and empty beer bottles as they roam New Orleans looking for gold, silver and 5 cent strings of plastic beads. It will leave you breathless and wanting more!
Keep having fun!
Wendy and Ron
