I MISS SOO MUCH NEW ORLEANS

[Shadowsi]

This is basically my idea of a terrifying time. Maybe I'm just boring or have a crippling social phobia. I think I'd rather be in New Orleans when it isn't Mardi Gras.

[eastprov]

Mardi gras is in essence a day of insanity that was first put forth by two seminary priests.

OOPS ...THANKS LLARRY!! I found the link to your vid at Laurelelms Favs and got my silly self all confuzzed. Just totally great. Sigh. You've got me singing at the top of my lungs and checking my calender for 2009 (and my bank account - airfare from Alaska is killer nowadays).

[terryliciareed]

Ah Laurelelms ... I think I love you! Again, laisse le bon temps rouler! Sob, dramatic sigh! I AM WHAT I AM, TOOOOOOOooooo!! I'm saving this one for sure. You really captured a part of what the modern party is all about. Thanks for doing so!

[momofdiesel]
