Iris Queens at Clancy's 

Allan in his Tiara

Hold on... I know that this may sound a little off the wall, but here are pictures to prove that my Father-in-law was crowned by the former Queens of Iris at an old uptown New Orleans Restaurant., Clancy's.

My husband, Bobby, a member of the Jefferson City Buzzards (see March 25, 2013 post) hosted a celebration for the Buzzard's Grand Marshall, Jim Parsons at Clancy's Restaurant on the Friday before Mardi Gras. He invited his father, shown above in the tiara, his mother, brother, sister-in-law, and of course, me.

We toasted Jim, and we toasted the former Queens of Iris, who have met here for 10 years to celebrate on the Friday before Mardi Gras.  After exchanging several trips from table to table, Allan decided to let it be know that as a child he never received any throws from the Ladies of Iris.

That was rectified when one of the ladies crowned Allan! Not in the cartoon way, she bestowed the crown on his head and insisted that he keep it, which he did. Only Allan would continue to wear his prize both in and out of the restaurant.

Now how many of you have a story to tell like that?
Post these. Lets exchange funny and memorable stories. We all have some to tell; if not, make one up.
