Someone you would not want to cross in a dark ally. If I were the Winter Demons, I'd be running, too!

LOVE THIS!!!

OH BTW- I love this picture! It is great. And the comment about tormenting all those out of diapers... I see now why all would run, shriek, and cry!

Coincidence

Is this a coincidence that this freakishly weird holiday falls so close to Fat Tuesday. It appears that both of them celebrate by doning strange masks, having a parade, throwing stuff at onlookers, and having a merry time.

Is Fasnet a drunken party too?

Yes Indeed

They actually handed out beer at the parade. It's Germany's version of Mardi Gras, I think that in Basel the fest goes on a little longer than Ash Wednesday.
