Only on a Saints Site: What is Your Gris-Gris This Year?

Hi, if you are lurking from another team or region, you are reading culture right now that you can only get from a New Orleans Saints website. We have our own language, live in places with funny names, and often have funny names. With that said, enjoy your confusion for now, and we'll
explain it all later if you need. But definitely read this discussion, whether it makes sense or not.

WhoDats, besides having a talented team, a decent schedule, and better luck regarding injuries, we obviously are doing something right this year. We are Catholics, and all kinds of religions or non-religions, but All Saints Fans do some kind of voodoo thing, which apparently we have chosen well this year.

So? What is your gris-gris this year? And why all of a sudden is it working?

Mine, since '06 has been my new wife! (you see, gris-gris does not have to be something unpleasant. That would be my EX! )
Ok, so '07 and '08 were not all that, she's blingier this year, hence our success. Also, this is crazy, we were eating Chinese food back in July, and her fortune cookie said, "your sports team will win this year." I kid you not. She takes that fortune everywhere. Be sure she smiles upon you. She's Lady Luck!
