Okeanos, with 14 floats and a mild-mannered crowd, was a wonderful way to start another day of revelry, and I loved the krewe's 'Back to the Future" theme " meant to represent various aspects of New Orleans' culture that have returned post-Katrina. But, some of the float titles were so broad they could have been applied to any place.

I also meant there to be no typos or grammatical errors.

Like Rex Dukes objectivesness, it never materializes.

"I'm tired of "riders threw plenty of beads" being a factor that might affect the rating. I don't mind encouraging more creative throws, especially handmade ones that prevent Mardi Gras from being nothing but a barrage of "made in China" garbage.

And what bases do you rank krewes, in the Alla ranking you give St Aug a nice review, but in Muses you give em the seat next to christ. SO what are you saying that St Aug takes parades off and only TRUELY preforms for the important krewes?

Not to mention that Alla pulled a Zulu and had quiet a few blown tires.

Nagin and Rex Duke the Neros of New Orleans!!!!


To quote the guy in Happy Gilmore...."JACKASS"

"Who would wish upon Carnival spectators the image of a hanged teddy bear? A large bear, hanging by its neck on a maid's float, dampened my spirits at this parade...
Posted by Rex Puke]]> Fri, 06 Mar 2009 10:09:19 -0600 Gambit I just looked through that Muses bulletin when another obvious thing jumped out at me. Now the anonymous mr. Duke talks about how cleverly each float brought out the satire, while simultaneously saying so much stuff was flying at him he hardly had time to notice how well it was brought out. There is one thing I spotted that points to a poverty of design.

I enjoyed reading these. I too have reviewed the parades but not in person.

I was heart-broken to read the Rex Duke reviews this year.

Muses- "they did print a bulletin for the first time this year."

That one is wrong.

I would like one of the Muses members to explain to my 11 year old niece and 12 year old nephew what the meaning of each of these groups' names are?

Aside from that hypocrisy, I seemed to miss why this krewe deserved the ranking.
