Bob Crabb, Mardi Gras Grand Marshal!

12 February 2016

George Rebane

Congratulations and kudos to our friend and community icon RL ‘Bob’ Crabb for being most appropriately selected to head up this Sunday’s Mardi Gras parade in Nevada City. He and his lovely wife Mary Ann are featured on the front page of today’s Union. In addition to a large photograph, the print edition also included Bob’s cartoon of the happy couple’s photo, filched below.

(To keep its reputation for grammar intact, The Union included the following caption under the front page cartoon – A drawing by “Bob” Crabb depicts he and his wife, Mary Ann Crabb, in Mardi Gras costumes.)

The Fez rules! On Feburary 9th, I had six 26ish and under fun young people raiding my craft/hobby/sewing/big junk drawer room spending hours going through my treasures and making Mardi Gras masks and weird ass scarfs and headwear. Real freaky things they made,I tell ya.They even raided my bone box! Is nothing sacred.
Now my hot glue guns have no glue, my refrigerator has no food, my guest bathroom has no toilet paper, and my rodent hides left behind have bright shinny objects all over them. Plus my waste bins are overflowing with pieces of former treasures. Glad this happens only once a year. They asked if i was going and I replied, “No, I prefer Joe Kane Days.” Blank stares back at me, lol. I am indeed a wet blanket. Oh, little do they know and we will keep it that way. Besides, I just donated the cause. Have fun.
RL, you need some shinny freaky stuff on your Fez. Had an old antique broken pocket watch that would look perfect on the Fuz, but the youngins found it first. Oh well. Colored bear teeth is probably not your style.
Be very careful amidst the wild throngs, Mr. Grand Marshall. Some of those yokels up there think it’s a full moon every night in Nevada City. At least that is what that tee shirt I bought from you says. But, please, be careful up there. Be very careful.

Thank you, Mr. T. I was the King of the World on Sunday. Today, some guy called me a “fawning Parasite.” Everything’s back to normal.
