My father was less than two weeks old when that was filmed.

And if that isn't the perfect name for a Bourbon Street cocktail -
But I've heard enough Cajun music to recognize in Doug's piece a long-time Cajun standard, the Bosco Stomp. It's by no means a NOLA song but what another hell of a name for a cocktail. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSdB74zl4cE -------------------- Il arrive souvent que les personnes couvertes d’esprit enflamme courent en appelant du secours.

Luck was prolly the least of it, but it's still a thrill to get lucky.

I should have lit the fountain, I was still in shock from the mailman dropping off the package at 7:45 am. (The postman was a little scared of the Imp woofing at the door)
