Krewe de Vieux

The first parade of the carnival season, Krewe de Vieux throws down a pretty good party.  After some thinking and much internal deliberation, I think I have cracked the code on how to put together a good Krewe de Vieux float.  It seems to be a three step process:

Step One:
You need to choose a politician.  Maybe Mayor Ray Nagin could be a fine choice.  But no need to stick local.  You can go with national politicians too.  Anyone is fair game.

 

Step Two:

Take that politician and come up with some random quips about them.  Don't worry about these making any sense or even being too topical.  They don't need to.  Just as long as you put the politician and an insult or two in the same sentence, you are good to go.

Step Three:
Think of something perverted.  Like really perverted.  If you have children, imagine what you don't want them to see.  Take that image and construct a float out of it.

 

Good work.  You now have an awesome Krewe de Vieux float.  Now go drink a few too many beverages, walk down Royal Street, and have a damn good time.
