You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I thought it was the one-eyebrowed baby.

No, my nemeses are original and specific, and constitute Farsi, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and the Girl Scouts of America.

Poor Girl Scouts. What have they ever done to you?

They thwarted me in my attempt to see the White House. But revenge, like gazpacho, is a dish best served cold, and my day shall come.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Trudy, I'm watching too. Do you mean the blueprints tattoo or shooting the bishop?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

quester, I meant the tattoo

"First, take the Girl Scouts of America." Unfortunately, at that point I always add 'in a manly way', and I'm too busy giggling to finish the rest of the recipe.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

French Quarter - not that bad

More French Quarter

Canal Street - also not that bad

Other parts? Not so good:

**********

Even as reports of damage continued coming in Monday night, the full extent of the destruction in Katrina's wake was hard to gauge.

But one thing was clear: Gentilly, Treme, Bywater and the 9th Ward had been swallowed.

The exit from I-10 onto to Claiborne Avenue - and then Claiborne itself - was underwater. Ditto the intersection of I-10 and Elysian Fields, where water reached near the roof lines of homes. Homes were also inundated at the I-10 exit at Louisa Street.

St. Claude Avenue, east of the French Quarter and into St. Bernard Parish, was almost undewater.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

French Quarter - not that bad

Yeah, I saw some footage on the news tonight of a guy reporting from Bourbon Street, and what I could see of the area behind him didn't look that different from a Saturday morning after a long Friday night. It looks like that part of town didn't get hit too badly.
