Elvis has left the building.

by MonkeyBoy August 16, 2010

I hope I didn’t bore you too much with my life story. That’s a quote from Elvis Presley. Elvis died on this day in 1977. I admit, my knowledge of Elvis isn’t all that extensive. In fact most of what I know of Elvis I’ve learned in the last few year. See, for the last [...]

Geauxjira: The Movie

by Loki May 22, 2010

A work of genius by our own Micheal Homan! Here is his description of the film: Geauxjira is a brief homage to some famous scenes in Ishiro Honda’s movie Gojira (1954), better known in English as Godzilla.

The Great SuperBowl River City Crossover

by Loki February 6, 2010

I’m sitting in Cincinnati watching the snow pile up outside. It feels perfectly appropriate since the Saints are going to their first SuperBowl in history. Satan is skating to work through a frozen hell-scape today! The excitement gripping New Orleans is so intense I can physically feel it up here in Cincy, and I can’t stand football! It’s hard to get [...]

Things That Make You Go Hmmmmm: The Amazing, Disappearing Mitch Landrieu Website

by Loki December 17, 2009

I had a very interesting thing happen this morning. Someone sent me a link to a hilarious website satirizing Mitch Landrieu’s run for Mayor. Almost good enough for The Levee it included a YouTube video announcement “from Mitch” complete with Howdy Doody style puppet mouth and everything. The words “Dynasty” and “Entitlement”  were bandied about [...]
