But you come into town at 4 am to get the jest of J&#8217;ouvert, or you just jump in on Carnival Tuesday for the much-anticipated jam session. What do you do? Grab any bumper in front\u00a0your face? Before you do that, here is a guide for whining this Carnival. Let&#8217;s call it &#8220;Bubblingolgy&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Lesson #1<\/p>\n<p>Yuh see that apple bottom moving so seductively that yuh biting your\u00a0rag right now? Forget it. Start with the one who is moving from side to side. A good warm up is key for great palancing.<\/p>\n<p>Lesson #2<\/p>\n<p>Now it&#8217;s time to get into things. Nope not ready yet for the &#8220;apple bottom&#8221;, but look to your left. See that bumper bubbling with their hands on the ground and whining in the air? Jooking 101 is now in session. Make yuh name.<\/p>\n<p>Lesson#3<\/p>\n<p>Wait nah. Before you get on that bumper remember something. This is a one time whine (not a relationship). So don&#8217;t think that after Ash Wednesday if you see her somewhere she know yuh.

You could let out a few exuberant sounds to the top of your voice. She finish\u00a0with yuh? Right nice. Walk away and look for a next one. Trust, the jamming now start.<\/p>\n<p>Lesson #5<\/p>\n<p>Most important. Enjoy yourself. All the stress let it out. Have a time, and drink and whine. Responsibly of course.
