But seriously, if you go to all the trouble to make such an awesome costume that you only wear (I hope) once a year - wouldn't you complete the look with some furry gloves?

Any comments directed at their appearance without costumes would be merely mean. The OP did a not very nice thing here.

Kukeri (Bulgarian; кукери; singular; kuker, кукер ) is a traditional Bulgarian ritual to scare away evil spirits, with costumed men performing the ritual. Closely related traditions are found throughout the Balkans and Greece (including Romania and the Pontus). The costumes cover most of the body and include decorated wooden masks of animals (sometimes double-faced) and large bells attached to the belt. Around New Year and before Lent, the kukeri walk and dance through the village to scare evil spirits away with the costumes and the sound of the bells, as well as to provide a good harvest, health, and happiness to the village during the year.

The kukeri traditionally visit the peoples' houses at night so that "the sun would not catch them on the road." After going around the village they gather at the square to dance wildly and amuse the people. The ritual varies by region but its essence remains largely the same.

Moral of story, always look before you leap you're mouth off.

Edit:

Or is this what happens when you crossbreed Wookies and Coneheads?

This post is ridiculous, because the parade has nothing to do with the Tea Party.

You need to look under your couch for a sense of humor and a laughable reference to recent dialogues. SHEESH??How many times are you going to respond on a light hearted thread? While I realize you have a post count to bolster couldn't you do it with a little smile and a spring in your step

When the two have nothing to do with each other? It's not humorous.

Have a good night now.
