Yup they do but they're usually thrown to friends and family of the krewe members but it goes without saying their aim gets worse as their alcohol level goes up .

I only went to a NOLA Mardi Gras once and I said I would never do a NOLA Mardi Gras again due to the dangers involved with crowd members alone. Apparently thrown coconuts DO hurt and there have been lawsuits. But here's what they say in this article, "Twenty-three years ago, Louisiana added coconuts to the list of official Mardi Gras throws protected from personal injury lawsuits, ordering that the public assumes the risk of being struck "by any missile" traditionally thrown, tossed, or hurled by krewe members. "

I must fall under the old catagory since I dont look like Robin
Me too. Just don't have that baby face
You are 100% correct they are prized possessions , and in this case I gotta side with tradition over the ambulance chasers , too much nanny state crap nowadays , but I don't attend parades anymore because after years of working in the French Quarter and dealing with the traffic jams I've had enough but I wouldn't want to see a New Orleans without it's traditional mardi gras , attorneys and legislators have taken too great a toll on life as it is .I only went to a NOLA Mardi Gras once and I said I would never do a NOLA Mardi Gras again due to the dangers involved.

Bronze did enough crying for you. now go change his diaper.
Good to see you're back, GT
Brilliant!
I'm sorry, I'm with you and tradition as well. I went back and edited to add that it was due to the dangers of crowd members not the krewe members that scared me away from another one. That and all the stories of people with guns in the crowd opening fire and hitting people in attendance that scared me away.
Yeah there's that as well but unfortunately murder is almost an every day occurrence in NOLA as well as all big cities , it's best to be with a local that knows what areas to avoid , But the worst thing that ever happened to me at a parade happened because there was a ship from the Soviet Union visiting NOLA and a 300 lb Russian sailor stepped on my hand when I was picking up a doubloon and either he didn't understand me yelling at him in english to get off or he did understand and really wanted that doubloon he wouldn't pick his foot up so I bit the hell out of him and ran for my life I was probably 14 at the time and those sailors looked like giants to me .
TIME TO TACKLE THE MAIL CARRIER!! I have the Generals Buzzard keeping watch for the Reo arrival
Is that where he went? I had to let him off the chain since I haven't been ordering much lately. Just send him back when your done, Ok?
Joined the provari club. Black satin mini and 2 18350's. Website says 3-5 days processing time. Maybe I'll get lucky and it will ship before the New Year holiday. Hope my vamo holds on that long.
WooHoo!!!!!
Conrats Bridget. Pix when you get it.
They typically ship next day or day after and it goes priority so two days from Washington state.
Whew! Think I'm all caught up now. Morning Army! Morning GT! Did you change that diaper on the General yet?
WooHoo x2! I was wondering where they were located, thanks for that.
Hey Robin, we never did get this one on YouTube, did we. We'll have to work on that, eh?
Yeah, I'm about as far away from them as you can get in the US but it still takes only two days via USPS Priority mail.
Not sure what is wrong with your VAMO button (or which one). My + button lost its spring action. But it still worked. So if this is your issue it should keep working for you while you wait for your mini.
DAYmn! Not as caught as I thought - can't now 'cause I'm already late for the kitchen. *Chak ducks flying frying pan*
Congrats Bridget, I am sure you will enjoy it!!!
I would be very surprised if it doesn't ship before the holiday. I ordered mine during there Cyber Monday sale and from the looks of the Provari forum they got SLAMMED with orders and mine shipped out the next day, and had it in hand 3 days later.
Yep, price notwithstanding, the Provari is a workhorse. No two ways about it. And when Bridget pairs it up with her Kayfun, there is no better vape experience though my guess is a REO is on par.
She's gonna need the "pro ring" to match it up to the Kayfun. I don't know why Provape won't release a flat top version already..
