"Carry them aloft spread edge to edge through the street in between the cortege of dead wildlife. Tarp bearers should wear tarp blue."

The Krewe of Dead Pelicans emerges in the wake of the spill and plans for a march in New Orleans:

"Coffin bearers will be needed. Dark suits or Victorian funereal costume preferred. Two to six persons needed. Please let me know if your group would like to do this. The Dead Pelicans umbrella bearers will form a double ( or more if needed) line as a cortege escort and walk in long rows behind the coffin, our oiled critters held aloft on sticks and umbrellas, unspooling our black crepe paper streamers to represent the still flowing oil spill."
