Incident at Woodrow's Yesterday

skymike · 12-10-2009, 10:40 AM

Hey Hou-Dats, I'm expecting word from management this afternoon, from
which I would be pleased to pass along and discuss amongst ourselves.
Will most likely tell the story, (which I have witheld until they had a chance to respond) along with their explanation & action plan.

Perhaps it is all a big misunderstanding? We will see. I am open minded,
and am sure you are also.

Thanks for your patience.

Can't wait to hear the whole story!

Hey, you'll get to see the story live if you & your wife come out. Could use all the support we can get, and besides you could participate in official Hou-Dat business.

Can somebody please find us a Pope hat?

Also, I need the roman numeral equivalent to '67.

Can't make it. Have a Christmas party to go to after the game. Gotta stay close to home. One of these days though we will have to hook up for a beer or 3.

Self-serving but...LXVII but really it should be XI I MCMLXVI

Does anyone here know why?

? XI I MCMLXVI? That cant be right. the LXVI at the end reads "66." I know English is your subject, but I also
know you speak Latin, so I'll bet you know how Roman numerals work.
Help me to understand.

I've never heard it called "crayfish" south of Missouri.

The SAINTS were "born" November 1, 1966. Alvin "Pete" Rozelle awarded a franchise to New Orleans. It was All-Saints day thus the name...later Houstonian, John Mecom, Jr. was named owner... he was a rich kid whose dad made the family fortune in oil...or as it was also called at the time "black gold" thus the colors!

Oh, ok... I was going for 1967, their inaugural season. Here's one for you.
Did you know that big pretty lit up fountain here in Houston at the junction of Main & Montrose (by the Museums) is the "Mecom Fountain?"
It is named for John Mecom, but I dont know why. It Probably has something to do with money. I just realized it could be named for his DAD--- J.M. Sr.

Ed, do you know any artists who could draw a caracature of me? (yes, I know I am a caracature already.) I need one of those really simple type, trademark ones, like Jay Leno has . Maybe one of your schoolkids, could eschew spray-painting the wall for a day, and try working with paper?

OK, that afternoon has come and gone ......is the verdict noted in B&G somewhere and I have just missed it?

Oh...and on another topic, I will be in Baton Rouge next SAT. Anyone able to recommend the best "watch place" to catch the Saints game?

Has to be kid friendly though.
