Sherbet is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
I would love to see a ban of the electronic ones. They are a driving distraction.
How does your state work?

I get it in most of the states, and wouldn’t mind if they disappeared everywhere else too, but who were they advertising to in Alaska? Seals? The “Eat Fish” marketing campaign must have been furious.Maine is one of 4 states that ban billboards. I just learned this.

Carnival season began today! Let the good times roll.
No chance of shedding the extra holiday pounds either, these cakes are everywhere through Mardi Gras day.
Happy Mardi Gras!
Businesses are closed today, schools are out all week. It’s Mardi Gras!
Please tell me you know these songs.

A week off from school for Mardi Gras?? Gotta make sure those middle schoolers get out and see topless women wearing bead necklaces and puking in alleyways?
Yeah, about those beads.......

One of SiriusXM's Xtra channels is The Big Easy, "The Sounds of New Orleans."
They all sound fun, but I haven't heard them before. The 1st one especially sounds like something our community band might have played in a New Orleans tribute.
Yeah, about those beads.......

Yeah those songs (and a few others) are longtime staples around here, mostly 50’s era New Orleans R&B. I guess they never made their way to a national audience.

I remember the New Oreans funeral march song from "Live and Let Die".
This is the most New Orleans song I can offer; this absolutely astounding live performance of Billy Joel's Root Beer Rag:
From his 1998 CD Anutha Zone, here is Dr. John and Sweet Home New Orleans. Dr. John, born Malcolm Rebennack in New Orleans, is best known for his 1973 top-ten hit Right Place Wrong Time. Hey, we're not getting off-topic here, are we?
Happy Mardi Gras Aaron!
I didn't recognize those songs, but wouldn't be surprised if I'd heard them before.

If you didn't post it, I would have!
A week off seems excessive even to us. A lot of people here use Mardi Gras as a good time to go to Disney when it’s otherwise less than peak season.
