This is huge. Just huge.
Has anyone in Jasper eaten at the new restaurant Jasper’s Bayou Fresh Seafood yet? By the way… it’s run by former Walker Viking football player Henri Dang.
Details… please.
Just so happened that I got hungry whilst passing a Taco Bell on Saturday. I went to order my usual (3 soft shell tacos, 1 cinnamon twist, large Diet Pepsi) when I froze… no cinnamon twists? Am I in Canada? Nay. That’s just how they do things up here.
So, thinking quickly (because I hate the “take your time” guy at the drive thru window) I sprung into action. looking for a substitute. My choice: fiesta potatoes. They’re a lot like hash brown squares… not too shabby.
Anybody else come across a similar situation at an eatery?
I’m doing a little spring cleaning around the blog. If some of your comments go missing, don’t take offense… it just got caught in my broom of wonders. (Yes… I own a broom of wonders)
One of the best articles written since Jesus was born.
An excerpt:
-
The 4,000-square-foot house is a model of environmental rectitude
Geothermal heat pumps located in a central closet circulate water through pipes buried 300 feet deep in the ground where the temperature is a constant 67 degrees; the water heats the house in the winter and cools it in the summer. Systems such as the one in this “eco-friendly” dwelling use about 25% of the electricity that traditional heating and cooling systems utilize.
A 25,000-gallon underground cistern collects rainwater gathered from roof runs; wastewater from sinks, toilets and showers goes into underground purifying tanks and is also funneled into the cistern. The water from the cistern is used to irrigate the landscaping surrounding the four-bedroom home. Plants and flowers native to the high prairie area blend the structure into the surrounding ecosystem.
No, this is not the home of some eccentrically wealthy eco-freak trying to shame his fellow citizens into following the pristineness of his self-righteous example. And no, it is not the wilderness retreat of the Sierra Club or the Natural Resources Defense Council, a haven where tree-huggers plot political strategy.
This is President George W. Bush’s “Texas White House” outside the small town of Crawford.
But we all know how Al Gore lives.
Anybody else catch themselves counting the number of items in a persons grocery buggy in the express checkout?
I went to Wal-Mart the other night to witness a husband and wife scan… 77 items. Yes, 77 items. (It was the self checkout, but none of the Wal-Mart employees had the balls to walk over and tell them to leave the line.)
A great quote from Hossein Razzaghi’s facebook profile:

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”

That’s funny because Mississippi State basketball had some of the same stats this year. (I kid. I kid.)
A nice little screenshot from the Drudge Report. Global warming is real folks… and don’t you forget it.
Since everyone seems to be on this bandwagon right now… what the heck… it’s Monday… and we’re drinking the Kool-Aid as well.
I couldn’t care less about Carlos Mencia… I just love it when people get caught.
