I could die tonight, and it would be just fine. Thank you Sean Payton, Deuce McCallister, and Reggie Bush (especially since you almost died on the first drive of the game). Thanks to the defense also. If overachieving were a crime you would be in jail by now. God bless you, Saints. Please win next week. You can have my first born son.

I must say first and foremost, this has nothing to do with not having been picked yet for a team (even though I was one of the first Mardi Gras players ever assembled), it has nothing to do with the killer bees, and it has nothing to do with the fear of actually painting a barbeque pit pink without somehow/possibly poisoning the meat. I am sad to say that I have just been hired at a coffee shop here in Austin, and I regretfully hand in my resignation for Mardi Gras 2007, New Orleans, La. I feel no shame in this, only the pressing fact that I must continue to strive and make money so that I can support my cross-dressing career that I have chosen for myself. I hope that the buzzards can understand this situation and accept my heartfelt regret. Peace and safety be with you all on your journey to the land of beads, boobs, booze and bee’s.

Killer Bees
The residents of flood-damaged St. Bernard Parish, still recovering from Hurricane Katrina, have a new concern: killer bees.
Agriculturalists began setting traps around a half-mile radius of a storm-wrecked home Monday that authorities have confirmed was infested with aggressive Africanized honey bees.

Killers/Curfews
NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) – New Orleans officials trying to stop a wave of murders in a city still recovering from Hurricane Katrina said on Saturday they will soon present anti-crime measures that could include a curfew
Can’t wait.

This just in: I’m a big fan of Mardi Gras, and it’s practically beginning tomorrow. So, unlike Rex Grossman, I’m completely focused on the big game — Mardi Gras Bowl VII.
Looks like we might have about 10 people. I’m first captain; I take Kent.
Now, we need another captain. Once that person has been hired, every other person planning to participate needs to post a short description of their abilities. For example: “At 5-10, 214 pounds, Brent Koster comes with extra-thick calves and extra-thin game; will likely be intoxicated and has nasty tendency to get naked. Recommended Position: Beer Bitch.â€
Please respond swiftly.

So Vince Young won Offensive Rookie of the Year, instead of Marques Colston.
I can understand that. Young was only the third player taken in the draft, no one really expected him to be a great player. It’s not like he was a seventh-rounder that was a huge part of the reason a historically cursed franchise is now a playoff team or anything.
Chad Pennington won Comeback Player of the Year. After shoulder surgery, he led his team to a wild card spot. I know of another QB who had shoulder surgery, but lead his team to a first round bye.
UPDATE
LaDanian Tomlinson won NFL MVP. On this I call hogwash. The Chargers without Tomlinson are a better team than the Saints are without Drew Brees. Tomlinson is a great running back, and had an outstanding season. Drew Brees was the most valuable player.
If Payton doesn’t win Coach of the Year, I guess we will just have to win the Super Bowl.

I asked for a photo album of pictures from my Mom’s stash. Not only did my Aunt Kathy go through all of the albums and picked the best ones and the ones she thought I’d really like, she scanned them all at Kinko’s and made electronic copies and organized them in chronological order with captions. It’s the best Christmas present ever.
