A Super Bowl Drinking Game
I ‘borrowed’ this from Mostly Cajun. I’m hoping he has a ‘name game’ post today, I never miss that on a Sunday! Check it out.
Pat also listed a few of them at And So it Goes in Shreveport. She also has coverage of her adventures at the Centaur Parade with some good pictures.
A SuperBowl drinking game. (This one’s been making the email rounds. Go figure!)
1. Every time they mention hurricane Katrina, drink 1
2. If they show pictures of the City of New Orleans right after Katrina, drink 1
3. Every time they say how much the Saints mean to the City of New Orleans, drink 1
4. Every time the words “tragedy”, “flood”, or “devastation” are used, drink 1
5. Every time they talk about how good Reggie Bush was in college, drink 3
6. If they show Kim Kardashian in the stands, drink 5
7. Every time they show a picture of Reggie Bush with a bat or say “bringing the wood” drink for 5 seconds
8. Every time Reggie Bush gets negative yardage trying to run around in the backfield a bunch and outrun the defense, drink 1 and turn to the person next to you and say “I told you Vince Young should have won the Heisman”
9. Every time Reggie Bush gets up and flexes his arms in that pose he likes to do, drink 1
10. If they mention Tim Tebow for any reason, funnel a beer.

16. If Jeremy Shockey pretends to be hurt after dropping a pass, drink 2
17. If they mention the Saints beating the Falcons in 2006 in the first game after Katrina in the Superdome, drink 5 and remember that we are still a better football team with better fans.

Lawyers Play Rough

An amazing cross-section of humanity: Men, women, transgender, heterosexuals, gays, bisexuals. Every ethnicity. White-collar and blue-collar. It’s really very, very diverse — though we do have an unusually high percentage of lawyers. I don’t know why.
— Susan Wright, founder of the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom, discussing the people who attend erotic BDSM — bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism — parties in the Washington Post.

Bossier City Firefighter arrested
News Release from Bossier Parish Sheriff
A Bossier City firefighter was arrested Thursday evening for terrorizing, cyber stalking and improper telephone communication, said Bossier Sheriff Larry Deen. He also has a warrant out of Webster Parish for domestic abuse battery.
David Allen Desadier, 39, who has been living in the Lakewood subdivision of Bossier City but has a listed address in Doyline, was taken into custody in Shreveport by the Shreveport Police Department and the Bossier Sheriff’s Department. His arrest comes after he beat up his ex-wife in Doyline several days ago and began sending her threatening text and phone messages in recent days. Bossier Sheriff’s investigators say, in one message, he told her she needed to be thinking about picking out caskets for their kids—6-year-old twin girls.
The Bossier Sheriff’s Department issued a B.O.L.O. (be on the lookout) for Desadier at about 4:45 yesterday afternoon. Around 5:30, Bossier Sheriff’s deputies were able to locate Desadier’s empty vehicle at Academy Sports on Bert Kouns Industrial Loop at I-49, thanks to information provided by other Bossier City firefighters. When Desadier returned from the store to his truck, he was arrested. Bossier Sheriff’s investigators say at least one weapon, a semi-automatic pistol, was found in the vehicle.
Desadier was transported to the Shreveport City Jail, then transferred to the Bossier Maximum Security Facility and booked, with his bond set at $205,000.
His girls were not harmed.

Civil Service hearing for fired officer will continue on Thursday
The civil service hearing for fired Bossier City Police officer Philip Vernon will continue tomorrow afternoon.
Vernon was fired for filing a report that was inaccurate in regards to the threats of intimidation that he had charged. Vernon said in his report that former Webster Parish ADA Sherb Sentell had threatened his, and reserve officer Jared Fisher’s, jobs in the police car while en route to the jail. The tapes reveal Sentell threatening a lawsuit, but not threatening to get the officers fired.
He later filed a supplemental report that said the threat happened between the car and the jail.
Sentell invoked his constitutional right to plead the fifth amendment and not testify at the hearing.
Police Chief Mike Halphen testified that he had no choice but to fire Vernon, since the evidence on the tapes differed from what Vernon said in his report.
Halphen said that the discrepancy called Vernon’s credibility into question in any future cases.
"Any defense attorney would hold up that report and say, 'You lied in that report,'" Halphen said.

Bossier City Mayor’s office affected by hiring freeze
From The Times
Excerpt:
Bossier City Council voted against replacing a departing secretary for Mayor Lorenz "Lo" Walker on Tuesday, the first test of a recently passed hiring freeze that left some behind the dais upset.
"This feels like 'Yeah, I'm all for a hiring freeze, until it effects me,'" Councilman David Jones said.
Bossier City passed a hiring freeze earlier this year stipulating that council would vote on whether to approve new hires for critical positions if existing employees leave.
Tuesday was the first time the ordinance was put to the test. The mayor's office has only four staff employees: a city administrator, a special projects coordinator, an office manager, who is the main receptionist for the office, and a personal secretary for the mayor, who is leaving city employment.
Walker said he needed a personal assistant to help run the city and it was "unbelievable" the council wouldn't renew the position. Without that person, Walker said he was being put in a position where he wouldn't be able to run the city properly.

New Orleans judge delays asbestos trial due to Saints Mania
“Considering the historic victory of the New Orleans Saints, the court finds that the trial will not be able to proceed as originally scheduled,” Judge Baneris wrote in his order delaying the start of the trial.
“The court takes judicial notice that Saintsmania permeates the City of New Orleans. Many prospective jurors for the Parish of Orleans, several attorneys involved in this litigation and court personnel plan on traveling to the promised land—the Super Bowl in Miami, Florida. The court recognizes that this pilgrimage enhances the chances of the Who Dat Nation to acquire the long sought-after Holy Grail—the Vince Lombardi trophy,” the judge wrote.
The case in question is Dano Paul Becnel v. Northrop Grumman Ship Systems, Inc. et al.
