Mummers (Perp) Parade 0
When I lived in the Greater Philadelphia Co-Prosperity Sphere, I could never muster the energy to attend the Mummers Parade, though I sometimes watched bits and pieces of it on the telly vision. Mumming seems to be its own little weird Philly subculture.
The idea of spending all of New Years Day standing on Broad Street straining to see a parade of over-dressed men with banjos from behind a bunch of folks taller than me never dragged me away from a nice warm television showing bowl games.
But I think I now understand why men mum.
