Alaaf und Helau!
Ok, where I live (don't laugh) in Waldfeucht and the surrounding areas, people make life sized dummies of, to put it politely, old women (crones, hags, etc) and put them on their balconies or sit them outside the front door. Presumably something to do with Alt Weiberfastnacht. I've never got to the bottom of it, and when I do remember to ask..... too late, we're all under the influence of Karneval.

PS. In our village the nearest thing we have to a parade is the floats (pulled by tractors) from the surrounding villages racing past at about 70kmh (to the amazement of my children) flinging sweets at us, on their way to the nearest town.
PPS. We have adapted our family Shrove Tuesday tradition to reflect our new Heimat, and make Karneval pancakes with funny faces for the neighbours on the day before Ash Wednesday. They, some nerve this, accuse us of being wierd!!!!!!
It's time again!!

taTA! taTA! taTAAA!!
'ere we go again.
I wish to mention the fact that in Hannover the fifth season started *yesterday* (Sat. 10th)... why? Because the 11th is a Sunday 
what kind of a resoning is that?! 
Nevertheless: Oche Alaaf! all around.
is from now on the official "Schunkel"-Smiley.

Carnival means breaking the rules (not *all* of them, of course) but...
it's got its own, even more serious rules 
looks good!
It's time again!!

I don't mind carnival being a little adventurous. But it's not something that must be made fit convenience.
I bet you they'll have the Shrove Monday procession on a Sunday or even Saturday. Fools! 
It's time again!!

err... wasn't it Hannover where the Chaos days are being held?
It's time again!!
Tube - the being being back for the time being Posted Nov 11, 2001
*Were* held. They sort of faded away. Chaos rules here anyway. 
But as I might be moving to London, maybe I should go and enjoy it anyway?
It's time again!!

Silly question, if you're asking *me* 
It's time again!!
Sho - employed again! Posted Nov 12, 2001
Oh Helau and Alaaf! Sheesh... is it that time again already?
Are we going to make a concerted effort to get this on the front page for Karneval this time? The Remembrance Day entry got bumped forward, I don't think they'll do it again, so now's the time to start campaigning...
It's time again!!

Sorry I left you pending for so long 
I've asked MM for the favour of having it up *on time* this year, and I'm determined to be pestering the Italics during the London Meet, yes I am!
It's time again!!

It's time again!!

Fine! Perhaps we could offer him the h2g2 medal against deadly seriousness?
It's time again!!

I've booked a flight from Munich and I'm not sure whether I could declare you as hand luggage
It's time again!!
1. FCV 1811 Helaaf GMC (or Helaaf in short) Helau! Alaaf! Carnival! Kamelle! Posted Dec 15, 2001
hmm, what if you came over to Munich and joined me on the flight?
It's time again!!
Tube - the being being back for the time being Posted Dec 15, 2001
I've nothing figured out ATM, it depends on my plans of actually moving to London...
It's time again!!
Sho - employed again! Posted Dec 16, 2001
