Saturday, June 24 is the infamous Mermaid Parade! For the past five years, I have marched in the parade as part of a mermaid soul train (we played and danced to great soul classics, my favorite being "25 Miles from Home" by Edwinn Starr), but my friend who usually organizes our group is going to be at her brother's shotgun wedding that weekend, so I have taken on the organizing task.
Our group thus far consists of Husband as a hula woman, various friends as mermaids, a few unknown costumes, and me as my usual self, a crab. I am trying to think of a good name that will encompass our little gang, and thus far I only have:
- Ocean's 9 (this won't work if more or less people than anticipated show up)
- Craberet (none of us will be degenerate or German, though it does encompass a variety of acts, so to speak)
- Lei'd on the Boardwalk
- The Island of Misfit Sea Creatures
Here are pics of Husband and I from last year's parade for inspiration:
Any other suggestions?

"All washed up" you could all go as aging musician sea creatures.
ReplyDeleteSorry it was the best I could come up with.
Oooh, I do like that. Clever!
ReplyDelete"Lei'd on the Boardwalk" sounds like it could be a classic.
ReplyDeleteOh, and your "Yogurt" post reminded me that I need Peanut Butter. Thanks!
While I agree with Michael that "Lei'd on the Boardwalk" could be a classic, we'll have to go for that next year. We wound up going with "craberet" this year. Definitely next year, though.
ReplyDeleteAnd anyone who lives in New York or close by who wants to be a sea-themed act in the Craberet is welcome to join us!
Yeah, I have two kinds of PB. One is some natural stuff that really tastes like peanuts because that's about all that is in it. The other is this Smucker's reduced fat shit. The oil totally separated out and it was quite challenging to mix up again. Plus there's a ton of sugar in it. I would not recommend buying that type.
ReplyDeletehahaha dude craberet is by far the best.
