Always public spirited, CRUDE focused on Louisiana Family Values with its 2005 theme. According to Louisiana law it's okay to kill a cock but not to lick one.

Great chicken costumes---who could forget the yellow tights? And the float was another masterpiece by Richard and Joe. Rotating Human Cock and Rooster Cock in the boxing ring.  Joe engineered a mechanism that utilized wheels, pulleys and good kharma to make the boxers rotate as the float moved. Defying all odds, it was still working at the end of the parade.

The blue veins on the cock was a nice touch and the slogan, "Tastes like ya' Mama" played well, even the tourists got it.
