Well, the extent of our decadence was trying a couple of shots of an Irish Honey liquer called Celtic Crossing. It was delicious. :)

What's weird is that yesterday I fully intended to give up my tea.....it's black chai and makes my teeth icky.

But now it's 6 a.m., I have to be across town at 8:15, and my tea tastes woooonderful!

We celebrated Fat Tuesday with Coolio! My ex's band opened for Coolio downtown last night, so we hung with freaking Coolio on Fat Tuesday. He's pretty cool, normal.

Claire is so cool! Or coolio! :)

I believe eating something bacon-wrapped and downing it with a beer counts, right? Oh wait, I'm Jewish, I can be decadent every day still :D

I drove Coolio around in a golf cart one day. I totally forgot about that until now!

Thank you Ms. Nonsequitur. :confused:

Morning, Ms. Random Thought.

I went to a FAbulous Mardi Gras Party last night. My friend Katherine recently got a house, and what a house! She's had some success as a writer the last few years and spent her money well! She had king cakes fedexed from New Orleans, there was jambalaya, crawfish etoufeé, hunky bartenders (I drank way too much diet coke,) a Mardi Gras band showed up, one of the New Orleans Saints dropped by for a while, and Katherine's aunt Barbara (Eden) was there. Probably 60 or 70 people showed up and no police. My best moment was when a group of people found out that I was the one that brought the Red Pepper Parmesan ThinKrisps and declared that I was better than a Barbara Eden sighting!

When someone asked me what the "short" mardi gras greeting was, (laissez les blah, blah, blah being too much for them,) the part of my brain apparently affected by a heretofore unknown stroke blurted out, "Show us your tits!"

Yep! That's what I remember hearing everywhere except the corner of Bourbon and St. Ann. There in the "Fruit Loop" you're more likely to hear "Show us your Richard!!", or something to that effect.
:cheers:

You have got to brush up on your skimming skills, Mr. I-swear-I-read-this-thread. :p

Gn2, sounds like an absolute blast. :cheers:

WOW!! Your friend Katherine really knows how to entertain. Even Martha Stewart would be proud. :) I'm willing to bet that a few guests didn't make it into work today.

Btw, how does Barbara Eden look these days? I always thought she was a very swanky kitten.
