Subject: Bologna tra-la-las & chicken-wire floats -Reply

I imagine chicken-wire floats (though I have always heard them called
just "floats" or "parade floats") are those structures made of
chicken wire into which crepe paper is stuffed. The whole mess, then,
is carried in a parade or displayed prominently on the lawn of your
high school or fraternity/sorority house. I helped to make many such
in high school and college.

No idea about bologna tra-la-las, though.
