Who Dat? It Aint’ The Aints.
This Monday, the New Orleans Saints are at home and eating red beans and rice with some smoked rare bird. They burned the Atlanta Falcons to the ground tonight. 3-23. First Monday Night win in over a decade. I hear there is a new snowball stand in hell.
The Saints blocked two kicks in the first half. They were good. Really. If our levees were as strong as the Saints’ precision defense we might just stand a chance against a Cat 5. The Falcons were only at catagory 1 strength the whole game, with brief gusts. Perfect weather for a party. The Saints? Precision? It just gets stranger and stranger in this town.
Perhaps the Saints have been cleansed of their sins, perhaps the fans finally “got faith”, or maybe we just had one good day. Whatever it was, folks here are happy tonight. Enjoy your red beans and barbeque and bless those fast running men in shiny gold pants with gobs of holy hot sauce. Amen.

My Chris Rose infatuation …
How do you dress your kids for school on the day the Saints play Monday Night Football if you don’t have any Reggie Bush jerseys in their size? And so, Chris Rose leads off one of his most joyous editorials

Your stickers were everywhere at the Saints game. On girls behinds, on guys shirts, on hats, on legs, on arms, on the wall
Great work.
I can’t begin to imagine how much you put in to that night.
You are first rate. We talk of envisioning what Our City can be.
You, sir, are making it happen.

Stickers? I haven’t printed any HumidCity stickers yet, although I have considered it. I did do a major blitz with stickers for my old art/music site (The Silver Machine) back around 2000 and am gratified that many are still around, but I am not sure what you mean.
My best guess is that you may be confusing me with Humid Haney. Please don’t. We are not the same person and have VERY different ways of getting our messages out. If the compliment is for him stop by his site and let him know, and thanks a lot for stopping by mine.

Gotta love this city.
As we watched the game, the idea that Katrina had washed away our sins came up. If only we can be that lucky.
PS I’m holding your sweater hostage!
