My wife will be the one standing next to Samuel Jackson. Except whiter, wider, shorter, less hair..... Now that I think about it, I look nothing like Samuel Jackson.

Re: Its Time: MUDBUGS IV !!!!!
 

Speaking of Who Dat, Who de Heck is Dat giving the intro and directing the festivities?


Sorry we were not able to make it, my ailing mother in law lives with us, we couldn't find someone to come sit with her, and couldn't leave her home alone for that long.

Re: Its Time: MUDBUGS IV !!!!!
 

That's skymike.

Re: Its Time: MUDBUGS IV !!!!!
 

After that he need to change his name here to FlyMike! :-P

Re: Its Time: MUDBUGS IV !!!!!
 

Another good time in BFE. It was pleasure meeting SLOMO and seeing the rest of you again. Rob and Bruz did a fine job on the bugs and all the desserts were awesome. I guess the next meeting will be at Reliant in preseason. See yall there.

Re: Its Time: MUDBUGS IV !!!!!
 

That one I will be at. Wife getting me tickets for my B-Day

Re: Its Time: MUDBUGS IV !!!!!
 

Great Time for our first MudBugs party with everyone. Vicki and I look forward to seeing everyone again at the tailgate and catching some games at Ragin Cajuns!

Re: Its Time: MUDBUGS IV !!!!!
 

You might have a point here ...



Second Line also here ...

Re: Its Time: MUDBUGS IV !!!!!
 

Yeah, that's SkyMike, our official social director....Thanks Mike for organizing and hosting all of us again at the Swamphouse. We had a great time as always and everyone got their fill of crawfish for a while. Great meeting SloMo who is probably driving back to Michigan right now. Let me know how your crawfish boil in Michigan turns out. You can't go wrong with the seasoning that Rob gave you. If you need any help with that, let me know.

I guess the next meeting of the HouDats will be on August 25 at Reliant Stadium for the preseason game. Hope to see all of y'all there!

Re: Its Time: MUDBUGS IV !!!!!
 

1-I should always use edit button.
2-I should not post when tired.
3-Sorry :-).

Re: Its Time: MUDBUGS IV !!!!!
 

Love it!

Re: Its Time: MUDBUGS IV !!!!!
 

"Ain't No Party Like a Hou-Dat Party" :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen: ...

... just got back several hours ago, I took it a little easier driving back, actually stopping to rest, :lol:.

I dunno' if I can fit this all into one post ... what a great time I had and what a great group! I enjoyed meeting everyone and I gotta' thank SkyMike, Ms. SkyMike & their kids for welcoming me to their home.

It's not that hard a place to find ... minutes off I-10 and an ideal location for just such a function ... and if ever a house fit a homeowner's personality, it would be SkyMike & his house ... it's just a perfect, natural fit.

So, the first people I meet are SkyMike & Boilmaster Rob from Kajun Kooking setting up in the front yard. While introductions are going on, OldMaid (who is neither 'old' or a 'maid', :lol:) drives up, then HouYat & Ms. HouYat, Gulfgambler & Ms. Gulfgambler, Lynwood/Ms. Lynwood & Son, Budsdrinker/Ms. Budsdrinker, Halo/Ms. Halo, Smashmouth/Ms. Smashmouth, the trumpet player, the guys from fishing, the neighbor & her son, the group in the middle ... am I getting everybody? People were just poppin' in ... a lady from New York. What a bunch! It's easy to see why you enjoy hanging around together.

I get the honors of sampling the spice from Boilmaster Rob ... I knew I was in for a treat. Even with that little sample, my whole lower pallet started to heat up ... microbrews & local brews from Lynwood, HouYat & Gulfgambler helped with that, not to mention my own "icy-cold, bohemian-style beer" which I knew would be just as good at a crawfish boil as it was for the boys at Shawshank tarring that roof, :mrgreen:.

Boilmasters Rob & Bruz had me up by the pots, explaining the process & answering all my questions. Rob even gave me a bag of his own, personal spice mixture to ensure I get it right when I try this at home. I'm ready.

The food ... you guys were right, no ketchup necessary ... I feel dumb for asking, :lol:. The crawfish were simply the best. Don't know if it's due to the purging, the seasoning or just the way it is, but I honestly don't think I'll ever be able to look at a northern crayfish the same again. I've always called them "little freshwater lobsters" when describing them to people, but this is the first time they really actually tasted like that. What flavor! And the smells! The sausage, the mushrooms, the garlic, the redskins, the corn ... the desserts ... the music ... I was pretty happy with my first official "Mudbugs". Good food & good friends, :mrgreen:.

Below is my souvenir stash, my beads, my spice mix & my "crawfish" shot glass, compliments of Ms. HouYat, who was so polite and persistent in correcting this poor carpetbagger's mispronunciation of "crawfish" (we call 'em "crayfish"). I think it finally may have stuck! :lol:.

You guys are the best. It was 100% my pleasure.

Re: Its Time: MUDBUGS IV !!!!!
 

First of all, thanks SM for providing a crazy ass place for our crazies........
Thanks to Mrs. SM (Casey) for allowing us to let it all hang out at the SwampHouse.

Rob, great job, and you did it on fumes...........man that was some great TAIL.

Slomo, quick shakin' you head. Yes we are that crazy about out fans and our team. Hope you had a safe ride home (some where by Canada I think). Don't be 1 and done, come back.

The weather was a little warm for a BOIL. That aint **** for what were going to get in August. Has anyone got one of them tents w/ walls & windows and AC.............?

Re: Its Time: MUDBUGS IV !!!!!
 

Pics to come...........

Re: Its Time: MUDBUGS IV !!!!!
 

good to see and hear that everyone had a good time, we were unable to make it for quite a few reasons, hope to make next years

Re: Its Time: MUDBUGS IV !!!!!
 

I am sorry I missed all of you...it started with this...


Houston Saints Fans...Let's organize!
Since there will be a much larger number of us here in Houston thanks to that *&^%$ Katrina. Where do y'all go to watch games?
I am going to be living off of 290 & Barker-Cypress by the fall. I think if we can pick one (or two places 'cause Houston is so darn big) and all show up in our Saints gear we would get much better treatment. All that Black & Gold spending their "green." Let's keep this thread alive! Once I get some suggestions I'll set up a poll. So who's in?

Houston's fine but it ain't home; New Orleans' home but it ain't mine no more.....I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO MISS NEW ORLEANS

But I had a good reason to miss Mudbugs IV...first grand baby (born in February) is visiting from China...

Re: Its Time: MUDBUGS IV !!!!!
 

Congrats there Grandpa but where's the Saints baby clothes?:bng:

Re: Its Time: MUDBUGS IV !!!!!
 

Parents aren't exactly fans of any sports...KIDS? You know what they say, "The first 40 years are the hardest."

Re: Its Time: MUDBUGS IV !!!!!
 

Welcome to the area, sounds like you will be within a stones throw from my house.

Re: Its Time: MUDBUGS IV !!!!!
 

I go to big Woodrow's, Robert plays his horn when we score, lotta fun.

Re: Its Time: MUDBUGS IV !!!!!
 

Actually that was a posting from early 2006 on SR.com. I am now in San Antonio. I lived in Houston (as Tom Fitzmorris always says, "You call that living?") for six and a half years.

Our friend, SkyMike, was the 39th response to that post and one of only two people who showed up at our first meeting...the other guy never came back. We spent several years watching games at Woodrow's until it just became impossible to deal with their manager, and then moved on to Ragin' Cajun on Westheimer. Trips to Saints games, Astros games, and finally Mudbugs was born. All of you Hou-Dats keep it up...you guys mean a great deal to me and just like it said in my original signature...

I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO MISS NEW ORLEANS!

Re: Its Time: MUDBUGS IV !!!!!
 

"Houston's fine but it ain't home; New Orleans' home but it ain't mine no more.....I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO MISS NEW ORLEANS ."
Superdome, I like your quote here. I think that explians it very much and very much for many of us.
I really needed to hear that. You just do not know how much I needed to hear that.

Best blessings to you and your family with your little newborn grandchild.

Hey Man, whats going on????
Look at the grandbaby! Look at you and Mrs. E. Im so busy now, I only get on the board every few days--- business is insane. Im already picking dates for MudBugs V to propose to the group. Looking at last sat. in April 2014, or 1st sat in May. But, you know the next pressing item for the Hou-Dats is our conquest of Reliant Morgue. C & I will see you well before then. Im so happy you popped into B&G.com.
Yes, I remember that first thread, and actually the other guy who showed up is Phil, a Lawyer, and he did come to some games at Ragin Cajun, and also a draft-day party. His wife Lara, came with him to the 1st tailgate at Reliant in front of that bus. And I remember that first Hou-DAts meeting too. You were the Most Interesting Man in the World, well before the commercial. Man, has it really been that long? We've sure added some quality folks in this group, and we all run into each other in N.O. I guess you saw Brandon & Tiffany's baby too?

Re: Its Time: MUDBUGS IV !!!!!
 

Ed, congrats on the grandchild
