Brad Pitt for Mayor of NOLA

#11 is Really What Sold Me on the Idea.

This is hair I can believe in.

Thanks to Functional Chelsea for bringing this to our attention.

Reason #11 - Rebuilding

Rather than relying on Aussie eloquence and narrative creativity or malfunctioning federal and state agencies, Mr. Pitt, as our chief executive will, instead, lead us, the local Pittwomen and Pittmen, in the fight against blight, crime, poverty and lack of humor. Dressed in period costumes and assisted by experienced producers, set builders, make-up artists, and camera operators, this cast of thousands will launch our Renaissance epic in weekly reality sequels.

This cake is counter-productive, I feel.

As it makes me want to eat crawfish, not cake.

And I think my taste buds would be in for a rude awakening upon the first bite.

Also, if the inside doesn't have a bunch of little crawfish and corn and potatoes in it, then I want nothing to do with this.

This is, of course, a groom's cake from Southwest Louisiana.

My dad emailed it to me.

Everyone remember THIS GUY??

SCARY JESUS FROM SACRED HEART?!?!

Man, this painting scared the be-himself out of me every time I went in that place.  It was like he could see into my soul and Scary Jesus WAS NOT HAPPY with its contents.

I just Google stalked him to see if I could find a picture on the internets, and there he was in some woman's Flickr set about her son's first communion.

SCARY JESUS IS WATCHING YOU, TIMMY.

BEST YOU LEARN THAT NOW.

A triumph of the ten-year-old girl imagination

There's only one pink dolphin the world...

and it lives in Louisiana!  Very close to my parents!

It's like all my Lisa Frank dreams have come to life!

Christ on a Bike...

How perfect is this?

HAPPY MARDI GRAS!!

Friday the 13th begins in disappointment.

Okay, when I saw this on my little brother's Facebook page, I got all excited.

Then I clicked over to the event and...well...it's still pretty cool.

Freeze the Quad

I thought it was going to be a bunch of people doing THE FREEZE. 

You know, the line dance.  Ronnie Millsap.

But it's more of a flash-mob thing.

So, it's not quite as cool as I had initially imagined.

It's going to be kinda like this, but in the LSU Quad...

(Sadly, I could not find a good video of people doing "The Freeze" on YouTube.)
