Just wondering how our young friend in Louisiana is doing? :(

I've heard from him. He's OK.

Haven't seen him on. I Normally see him on IM pnce a week or so. Is he in hardest hit areas?

I'm not sure where he is usually, but I know he fled before the storm hit, to somewhere safe, but he doesn't have access to a computer.

He's been on the MSN messenger a few times since the storm was over, and that's where I talked to him.

First of all, I want to thank everyone for your concerns. I am really sorry that I did not come and post earlier, but, I have been really busy with school, and recently, I got a job at McDonalds.

About the storm… Luckily, my home town JUST missed the worst part of the storm. We did leave, and when we returned home, our porch was demolished as well as some of the roof on our trailer. Nothing Major.

Having that said, where they storm DID hit (New Orleans) about 50 miles away, they have people shooting and killing people to get out of there as well as for food. It is getting crazy. Continue to pray for LA, MS, and Alabama.

Thanks again.

Brandan

I am very happy you are OK.

Now you know you can make more money officiating than you can while working at McDonald's. :D

Peace

Glad to hear you're OK. Hopefully things can get restored back to order as soon as possible.

brandan, glad you're ok. Hope the damage to your home is taken care of soon. Hang in there. We're all in your corner! Hopefully, everyone is praying for everyone on the gulf coast. I can't begin to imagine what it must be like for them!

Brandan - very happy to hear you're OK, buddy.

And - don't forget to supersize those technicals!

Hahahah, ok, I will do that.

McDonalds got rid of the Super Size cause America was getting too fat and the thought it was their fault. I can't remember when exactly they did away with it, but I've lost over 50 lbs since last October, so maybe it WAS their fault.

Who are you and why are you here, W&S?

My name's Joe, and I joined the football board a couple months ago, and now ventured over to basketball since the season's just a couple months off.

Where at?
 

Hey Brandon where abouts are you down there...

I'm in Livingston Parish, we got hit pretty hard...

Nothing major in comparison though...

Re: Where at?
 

I'm in St. Mary Parish.

It's an official Brandan sighting! How are you doing? What are you doing? Where is St. Mary's parish? I graduated from Centenary in Shreveport many moons ago. That would be Caddo Parish I think.

St. Mary Parish is in the Atchafalaya Basin. Home of the Louisiana Shrimp and Petroleoum Festival... Southeast of laffayette on Hwy 90 or future 49.

I grew up in Morgan City/Berwick before moving to Houston 3 years ago. Funny how I lived like right down the highway from Brandon.

How am I doing-- I am doing great, thanks for asking.

What am I doing -- I am sitting here studying for 3 test I have tomorrow. One is in Geometry, and the other two are in Civics. When I get finish doing that, I will finish writing my 3 page proof for Geometry.

Yes, Shreveport is in Caddo Parish which is in North Louisiana, I am in South Louisiana. However, I go there all the time to visit my grandmother.

Brandan

Speaking of the Louisiana Shrimp and Petroleoum Festival, that was supposed to be last week. Due to Katrina, it is rescheduled to October 8.

Hang in there Brandan.... proofs, ummm well they suck! ;) Glad to see you back in here.

Hey brandon glad to hear you fine, Im here in Baton Rouge and we fared ok, now we just have a former town of 500,000 turn into a town of 1 mill.

Ok, for all us ignorant northerners, are the shrimp cooked in the petroleum, or do you dip them in afterwards? Are there different flavors of petroleum, like mild and hot? Or just leaded and unleaded?

:D

Sorry Brandan, couldn't resist. Glad to hear you're doing (relatively) fine.

Haven't you ever heard of cooking oil,idjit?

Lah me.

PS-Go Cubbies :D

JR: :p

That's "Mr. Idjit" to you.

Oh, my !
 

Peanut oil ain't petroleum.
Peanut oil comes from peanuts.
Petroleum comes from dead dinosaurs.
Lah you.

Re: Oh, my !
 

Does olive oil come from Italian dinosaurs then? :confused:

I await the inevitable---<i>"No, Olive Oil comes from Popeye."</i> :D

Re: Re: Oh, my !
 

Shouldn't "from" be replaced by "because of"?

They aren't related, y'know.

Now, mick, what plant does Crisco come from?

Re: Re: Re: Oh, my !
 

It comes from the Smucker's plant in Orrville, Ohio.

Hey, all I knew was it looks suspiciously like that paste I used in grade school. And I don't think it changes much between when you eat it and when the doctor scrapes it off the sides of your heart. So it wouldn't surprise me if it was a petroleum by-product.

So Brandan, did you pass your three tests? Inquiring minds want to know!

I wont know until Monday or Tuesday. The sometimes grade them over the weekend, and sometimes wait until Monday. I will let you know. I know I made an A on my Civics test because it was open book. :)

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Oh, my !
 

The school paste was mint flavored.

Speaking of Crisco:

This short guy went to the doctor and asked his Doc if there was anything he could do to get taller. Doc told him to cover his body with grease every night and then sleep hanging upside down from the monkey bars. So dude goes home, and every night covers himself in Crisco before going to sleep hanging from the monke bars. Does this for 2 months straight, measures himself, and he's 2 inches shorter then when he started.

GOes back to the doc. Tells doc it ain't working. Doc asks him what he's using. Dude says Crisco. Doc says, "No wonder it ain't working. That's SHORTening!!!"

Is this where you get the pie thrown in your face?

:)

so brandan, time to 'fess up. Did you pass?

I made A's in Civics and a B in Geometry. Wednesday, we got our progress reports also, I had B-Geometry, A- Art, A-Typing, and A- Civics,so I am doing pretty good.

He has brains. He can blow a whsitle. And he can make a mean Big Mac. He's a man of many talents, I tell you!

HAhahah.... Good one.
