Straight people trying to do a parade

(apologies to all homosexuals involved in organising this parade...)

What went wrong:
1. Not enough colours. There are six colours in the rainbow and they only used one. Even the audience was pretty much homogenous, which is the wrong kind of homo.
1a. Not enough sequins. Though the tape flickering overhead on this gloriously fine day was quite pretty.

2. Not enough flesh shown. A team of beautiful bodies, all covered up in red and white. Boo.

3. No disco. There were bands, there were people singing something about how the Swans will go in and win over all. All very good but not very danceable

4. Not enough floats. And they were all pretty much the same: a ute and two guys. The last guy had a big shiny cup and some streamers but, overall, pretty disappointing. Maybe the club can sponsor other floats with sequined half-naked guys dancing to disco.

5. No drag queens. Just Sandra Sully.

Please take note of the 2006 Mardi Gras parade and try to do a better job for next year.

What went right:
1. We won. Yay.

Cheer, Cheer, the Red and the White,
Honour the name, by day and by night;
Lift that noble banner high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky.
What though the odds be great, or small,
Swans will go in and win over all;
While her loyal sons are marching
Onward to Victory.

Go the Wests Tigers (don't forget about them Westies!)
