Only if you're a frat boy tourist who expects to see naked women everywhere.
See, now I'm imagining frat boy tourists trying to catch doubloons with their cleavage.
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

OMG, it just took me 2 hours to get home! It is normally a 40 minute bus ride. I am still really glad I was on the bus instead of driving, though. Instead of having 50 million panic attacks, I was able to doze a little,

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Interrupting to mention that my friend's 7-year-old just came up with what he says is a TV show EVERYONE will watch: "Celebrity Rehab With Doctor Who." I know I'd watch.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
"Celebrity Rehab With Doctor Who." I know I'd watch.
Especially since Doctor Who can get celebrities from any era. I know I want to see Lord Byron and Countess Bathory on a show like this.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
A guy I knew, when asked by a stranger if he had accepted Jesus as his lord and savior, replied, "No, but I'm tolerant of those who have."
That's awesome. I hope the next time someone asks me, I have the presence of mind to reply "Is he the one with the basket of colored eggs, or the one that rides a sleigh with reindeer?"

It is odd to think of you not having been through Mardi Gras yet, Nora. You're so established in New Orleans already.
Aw! This makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
Nora, have you learned the important rule of doubloon catching?
Eye contact?
I need to get some awesome feather masks and parasols and stuff though, just on general principle.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Eye contact?
Feet.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I did one Mardi Gras, and I mailed beads and stuff to just about everyone I knew, and I kept a shitload, and I threw away a shitload. Not a boob was displayed. I didn't even see one on the parade routes(Bourbon St, that was another matter). So now I have to be extra special pedantic with everyone that talks about boobie flashing.
My internet is back, after I'm done with the work call. Thanks, guys. Way to make me look good.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I just agreed to do another polar plunge with the derby. I am fucking insane.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am fucking insane.
