No, not the football team. I haven’t changed my anti-LSU status yet; not if I wish to remain happily married to a woman whose team was thrashed by LSU in the Sugar Bowl after the assembled drunken mob to the last man, woman and child booed a priest (the President of Notre Dame), then booed the band so loud we couldn’t here them. For three straight songs. Nice way to treat people who plopped down big bucks to see their (out of state) team play in the Sugar Bowl. I’m sure all those out-of-staters will be back next time. Be sure to tell them to ask for the “Tiger” rate.
No, I mean this tiger.
Lest we be accused of being too serious around here (and looking too hard at the Houston Chronicle web site is a sobering activity to put it mildly), we’re happy to see that even among the desperate devestation of coastal Texas we still find stories as Odd as this one.
or at these independent New Orleans bookstores:
Yeah, that game was terrible. My parents drove 900 miles to be there. My mother will never, ever forgive the LSU fans for how they treated the team. Although, there were two LSU fans sitting next to my folks who were very nice, and gave them business cards and invited them to their Mardi Gras party… which was the only bright spot from that whole day. I had some lovely encounters with a couple North Shore racists, one of whom was named Katrina. No joke.
Incidentally, I know a guy from Chalmette who was in the Quarter after the game let out – he was wearing a green shirt for no particular reason and got jumped by some LSU fans, who beat the crap out of him because they thought he was an ND fan. Nice, huh?
Ohhh, no. I KNEW I never shoulda posted that LOLcat “Epic Fetch” pic with my relief for the Texas and south central Louisiana coasts.

Then again, perhaps the escaped tiger IS simply doing some epic fetching…
And, of course, all ND fans are nuns. Yeah, yeah, yeah…
Only half. The other half are altar-boys, which works out well for the facult–OW, OW, OW, STOP THAT. Sorry, I have to get off the computer now. OW. YES, DEAR. OW.
Another altar-cation, eh? Bugger me. Uh, please don’t father….
