White Mexicans

In the discount bin at my local grocer, I found this stuff called Cafe de Lolita.  I’m not sure what the actual flavor is, but I would recommend that everyone run to their local discount bins, and check this stuff out.  I mixed mine with vodka and milk, and named it a “White Mexican” – you can use that if you want – and it was great.  I had three of them last night, and nary a sign of a hangover this morning.  I also began an affair with a 12 year old girl, which was nice too. 

Just like old times

Haslett

Don’t you think Jim Haslett owes us one for all that he put us through there at the end? The terrible play calling, the wretched defenses, the commitment to Aaron Brooks, the general misery? I think he owes us one.

Jim, you can pay up tonight. Get your Rams to play a little defense and beat the Bears for us. We’d appreciate the help. Not that we can’t make the playoffs on our own power, which we clearly demonstrated last night. But the number one seed in the NFC would be so sweet. A Bears loss would put us one win out of first place in the the NFC.

Tonight, going against every fiber of my being, I will be rooted for the hated St. Louis Rams.  I’ve never forgiven them for all those years of crushing us in the NFC West.  I was glad that I would never have to do it again, but yes, I will be rooting for Jim Haslett tonight.

About last night’s game. Charles Grant dumped the Gatoraide bucket on Sean Payton and Payton clearly looked like he was pissed. He should be. Yes, it was great that we destroyed his former boss and the “best team in the NFC” on a national stage. But the season ain’t over yet. We haven’t even clinched a playoff spot yet. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Payton

But who’s the best team in the NFC now?

Happy End of Hurricane Season Day

Hurricane season’s last official day was yesterday, November 30.  And not a single hurricane hit American or Louisianian shores.  That’s kind of weird.  It seems every year there’s at least one.

Anyway, tonight I will be celebrating with a six-pack of Abita.  I think this is a much better holiday to celebrate than Hurricane Day, August 29.  If only there was a “It wasn’t the storm, it was the levee failure” day that we could celebrate nationally.  That would be a day I could get behind.

Penguins

Last year I wanted to help the Audubon in New Orleans so Jack donated to the Society and I became the adoptive parent of one of the penguins at the Aquarium (I named him Louie after my grandfather). We went to see the penguins this weekend and one of them was swimming head-first into his plexiglass enclosure. This was obviously the penguin Jack and I are supporting. I’m not exactly sure what this means but a penguin slamming himself into a wall repeatedly can’t be a good reflection of our mental state.

In other penguin news I tried to watch March of the Penguins this weekend.  I could watch 30 seconds at a time before I would cry.  I believe I watched a total of 4 minutes before giving up completely.  The movie is coming out of the netflix queue.
