Adults behaving badly.

Just a short kvetching if you don't mind.

Dear Assholes,

Yes, you know who you are.  If you don't, please allow me to elaborate.  At a children's/family event please note that it is bad form to push five year olds and intimidate children.  (That goes for you Slags too)  Yes, I realize the sniveling ankle-biters are mighty annoying, but acting their age is wholly inappropriate. 

Today I attended the Krewe of Gemini Mardi Gras parade in Shreveport, Louisiana.  It's a Family-oriented event.  While open drinking containers are permitted, flashing boobies for prezzies is not.  It creates an interesting environment where Girl Scout troops line up next to old chain smoking hussies in tight shirts as they both scramble for the same 1cent set of beads.  Note to adults:  Don't scream at the Girl Scouts.  EVER.  Don't cackle when you grab the beads out of their hands.  Don't pull and or tug on small tots to get closer to the parade floats.

It's unacceptable.  And it's a damn good thing I'm unarmed and unwilling to go to jail, because the buttstock of my M-16 can do some serious damage to caked on makeup.

And if you think I'm exaggerating, you should have seen the displays.

I need a margarita.

you've fulfilled one of my dreams in life. I'd LOVE to see a Mardi Gras parade. Sorry about the assholes. They're EVERYWHERE!

I'm sure it's different in NOLA. Throughout the Ark-La-Tex there are Mardi Gras parades taking place. Finding one isn't too difficult, you may not be too far from one. Something to think about for next year, it would be an affordable roadtrip.
