And although many think them flamboyant and "out there", I found them hiding.

Okay, I guess this was the staging area for the start of the parade.
But kind of neat to see them all huddled away before they burst on to the streets of Toronto.
This float contained many scantily clad people, all singing and gyrating.
Now that doesn't really distinguish it at all from any of the other many, many floats.
Except the band were all wearing Rob Ford masks - and not in tribute to the mayor or Toronto, either.
Uhhh...also dancing and gyrating.
You call it what you like.
But as you can see, they were also dancing and gyrating. I was sensing a theme....
And as I watched, I also thought that this parade is becoming more and more like Caribana. And not because of the dancing and gyrating either.
In the half an hour I watched, none of the floats moved at all. Everything was at a stand still.
The only thing that moved (apart from every guy's jingly bits) was an NDP float that passed the two floats I was watching.
How do you pass in a parade?...
Which is how I found their secret hiding place....

Snuck in right at the end of the parade.
Of course, it's hard to see here, but none of their pants had fronts. So I guess they fit right in.
Not the Toronto Sanitation Department! Bringing up the rear (settle down...)
Anyway, they had great weather for it and nobody lost an eye.
Unless somebody got too close to those gyrating jingly bits.....

Man-o-man, that's quite the machine the Neo Paws gang are rollin' around in...be great at Voyageur Days!
At least the scantily clad were somewhat cool, temperature-wise. The guys in the full regimantal dress - surprising there weren't deaths from heat stroke!
(Is there nothing one can say that doesn't become a double entendre of sorts? Shakespeare would love this!)
