You are supposed to drink lots of fluids. Water, juice, anything liquid. Part of the reason for the
nausea and dry heaves is dehydration. A few crackers would help too...That should help to settle the stomach. Then more fluids...........aspirins help as well....then just tough it out,

So maybe Gary since I was a very small child hearing WAoVW in the back seat of the car it turned me gay :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I guess I need to watch that and All About Eve since I have never seen either of them except for the WAoVW when I was little. From the way you describe it, it does sound like it had things in it that a child would not understand. So Truman it sounds like we were about the same age when we saw it.

It sounds like you saw some of the comic groups, which are first in the line of march, before the bands. It's been going on every New Year's for over a hundred years.
And it's "wenches." ;D

Thanks for the explanation of the parade Jeff. I thought you might now about it since you live in Philadelphia. Am I right about all the wenches being men? Does the parade go by where you live?

Well, traditionally the clubs were all male--and traditionally they wore blackface, too--but I believe they admit women these days, and the blackface is long gone.
Yes, the parade passes practically right under my windows.

I remember seeing that on TV every year when I was but a wee lad. I used to tell my mother her parade was on.
