TGISF…aka Your “Ash Wednesday Has Passed, But Here’s a Belated Mardi Gras Theme for Sexy Friday Anyway” Sexy Friday Open Thread

Wow that’s a long title.  We’re gonna get letters.

But it’s totally true.  For some reason I can’t quite pinpoint, it’s been an odd coupla weeks.  And I totally overlooked it.  Oh well.

But the truth is, I got so excited last week about Baseball starting that I didn’t bother to plan ahead.  Oh well.

I’ve been to New Orleans, but never at Mardi Gras.  Perhaps that’s a good thing…..

Yeah, me at Mardi Gras would be….well….turns out I don’t have proper words.

But I do understand, academically at least, that it would be fun until I stopped breathing.  I mean, unlimited alcohol AND boobs for beads?

Also, I believe working as a body painter at Mardi Gras (or anywhere I suppose) might be an interesting career….

I understand that there are also multiple opportunities to make new friends….

But be sure to keep your wits about you, and if necessary, ask them if they have ID…

Or a penis…..

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Giving Up Sports for Lent?

That’s actually not a terrible idea.  Sports kinda stink right now.

The NHL has hit the post All Star wall, and has gotten rather boring for now.  Which I suppose is kind of a dick thing for me to say with the Caps opening a bit more of a cushion.  I should be happy, but I’m bored.  I didn’t even turn on a second of that game last night.  Also…not enough fighting lately.  Now that the trade deadline has passed, hopefully things will pick up.

Then there’s the NBA.  Which I can’t say sucks any more than normal, but that’s not a compliment.  Golden State is still the only team to clinch a playoff spot so far, but they also lost Kevin Durant for at least four weeks.  So far that four weeks is not off to a good start.  But don’t feel bad for ’em, they’ll be fine.

College Basketball is over (that’s my story and I’m sticking to it).  And yet they’re still planning to hold some silly tournament in a coupla weeks.  Selection Sunday is next weekend, btw.

Friday NCAAB

Spring Training is in full swing, but still pretty boring.  Also, I hate split squad games.

Mardi Gras Sexy

OK, without going into a whole big explanation (because honestly I don’t know the whole background/history and I don’t feel like researching it), costumes are a big thing with Mardi Gras peepuhls.  They do the parades for one thing, but also folks just kinda like to fit in.  I dunno all the ins and outs (giggity) but purple, green and gold seem to be big.  Sometimes black and white also…no really right or wrong answers apparently.  But many are seemingly often based upon the whole royalty thing….King, Queen, Princess, Jester, and so on.

Also, the word “Harlequin” seems to come up quite often…

Sorry, my apologies…I got a little distracted….

Anywhoo, where was I?   Right, Mardi Gras Costumes….

Oh yes Dear, thank you for the reminder.  I did want to talk more about the beads (translation: show more bead/boob photos).

So yes, as I said earlier, boobs for beads is a thing..

/realizes he can’t post most of those photos

//sobs

Yep, sorry kids.  Most of those would get me in hot water with upper management (translation:  Internet_Dad would probably come to my house and kick my dog).  But we’ve got a couple SFW.

And some gals just cut out the middle man and show up already well appointed…

Which to me seems a little like cheating.  But often the end product is still rather enjoyable…

But of course there’s always at least one in every crowd who doesn’t know when to say when.  Of course at Mardi Gras, that’s often the whole crowd…

But yeah….So they show up with their costumes, their beads and their…social lubricants, let’s call them…

In theory it always seems like such a good idea……and even in practice, sometimes it is….

Other times not so much…..

And then of course, Jesus gets home early from vacation and catches you having a party while he was out of town…and grounds you for the next six weeks.

But that’s nothing.  At the end of the six weeks he inexplicably disappears for three days and then comes home REALLY pissed…

OK, honestly I don’t know how to end this from here so I hereby declare this the end of that silliness.

Also, while posting the Jeebus photos, Highway to Hell came on youtube autoplay…I’m totally serious…LMFAO’ing.

And now that I think about it, that seems tailor made for this post anyway.

Thanks Jesus!!!

Probably good I didn’t make the joke about him seeing his shadow and us having six more weeks of….

/tWBS is struck by lighting

This week, we have a male/female pair of Eastern Amberwing dragonflies (Perithemis tenera) who haven’t yet decided if they like one another or not.  It’s from summer, two years ago…

Alrighty, that’s it.  Go drink and typey type and post more sexy photos in the comments.

Love ya’s.
