This was originally posted on August 11, 1998 and was entitled "Pat
O'Brien's Hurricane". And to show that nothing has ever really
changed in RFC, I have also enclosed the first response to her
post... I'm sure there are better one's out there, but this is one I
remember...

We decided to take a walk down Bourbon Street, which was a few blocks
south
of where we were staying. Down off of Bourbon Street we went to Pat
O'Brian's
Bar, home of the world famous Hurricane, which they serve to you in a
glass
you get to keep. Sheryl Ann liked the glass and said, "How nice if I
could
collect a set of six," and she took to drinking and ordering Hurricane
after
Hurricane so she could keep the glasses. Later we learned she could
have
bought the glasses empty, but Sheryl Ann said, "It was more fun this
way".
From there it was down to Al Hirt's Jazz Club, although Sheryl Ann was
having
trouble walking by then, where we listened to a New Orleans style
music
performance. Wouldn't you know that Sheryl Ann would take to the
stage and
jump up on top of the piano and start singing, "I'm The Last of The
Red Hot
Mamas" and "Makin' Whoopie" and then do the bump and grind with the
saxophone
player. Even though Sheryl Ann is not a born singer, everybody clapped
and
whistled and yelled, "Encore! Encore!" but by then Sheryl Ann was in
no shape
to sing. We called a cab, and the cab driver had to carry Sheryl Ann
out to
the car over his shoulder, while she kept on singing, "I Enjoy Being A
Girl".
When I told the driver where we were going he asked us if we were
"some of Lu
Lu's working girls". I said, no, we were here on vacation, and he
said,
"Damn! I like 'em old and spunky!" When we got in Sheryl Ann was
still
snoozing so the driver carried her in and Lu Lu said, "Hi, Bill, I
haven't
seen you for awhile. How are the wife and kids?" He said, "Fine, Lu
Lu. The
wife's going out of town next week. I'll have to stop by." Some of Lu
Lu's
girls and I stayed up watching a movie on television, although several
of
them kept excusing themself to go and help gentlemen, who kept
arriving all
through the night, with their grammer and punctuation.

And now the response...



This little excursion may be interesting on the travel newsgroup, but
it
really is boring in a humor group. Maybe you should think about that

Look, if you want to post travel and recipes, post on the appropriate
newsgroup. I want to read FUNNY stuff here. Your little excursions
are
B-O-R-I-N-G.Buffy, I bet you are blonde.
