I'm pretty tired of Mardi Gras at this point. I've seen it, the amazement is over, and now (like New Orleans residents) I am bored.

This hat is shaped like a dickhead.

The french quarter.

Wonder woman costume.

Excited by my censored pictures of naked breasts? This should cool you off.

This guy pretended to be a coin-op robot. When you put money in the slot in the yellow box on his chest, he starts to play for a few minutes and then (very convincingly) grinds to a halt in anticipation of more donations.

Bill Gates and Y2K compliance? I don't see any connection.

Not sure what the connection is here either but it's kinda funny.

Not Kansas. Definitely.

This is a funny kind of costume that I saw a few variations of. This one is a head on a platter.

This is a pretty funny T-shirt, apparently mocking the christians whose signs I photographed yesterday.

Hmm.

This guy designed his suit of armor, but he didn't make it. He said an armor maker in New Jersey made it for him.

This guy's leather pants have a pair of zippers in the rear, apparently for better access?

Transvestites.

Yep, that's just about the idea.

A nice looking balcony.

South Central Park T-shirt.

She liked to show her ass off.

And licked her breasts.

Covering up...

Not too ugly either.

There were some *really* expensive looking cameras on this balcony.

The reason travel guides tell you to expect to throw your shoes away after Mardi Gras is this - the trash in the gutters. Naturally people avoid it but sometimes the only way to move, or the only place to stand if you're being pushed, is right in the wet, smelly trash. Ugh.

Pot heads. Get it? Yuk yuk yuk.

Lotta people on dese here balconies.

A woman in a nurse uniform. There were a lot of creative laser-pointer owners. They basically just pointed them at women's breasts and crotches.

The elevators are working hard these days. Look at all the people who wanna ride them.

The hotel we stayed at.It's 40 stories tall, surrounded by 3 story buildings. Wierd.

Another view of the balconies and street on Bourbon street.

Here is a guy with a Clinton mask and prosthetic penis.

Cops park on curbs.

A street musician who is a flautist is not seen terribly often.

Some women pose with the Clinton impersonator.

Clever. Free Mammograms. These guys asked me if I had a digital camera, and I said yes. They then asked me to e-mail them this picture. The web conquers all!

Another naked breast picture.

Note: There are no naked breasts in this picture. Of course the best picture today is a Star Wars one. Three words: New desktop wallpaper.
