JYAAACKPOT!!!!

Well for those of you wondering, we survived that alligator, and court didn't buy crocs and we returned safely to dry land. Upon getting back into the city we parked the car and went to play our standard 30 minutes at Harrahs. When we started out we weren't expecting anything except losing money...however....court had to go and screw up our plans....How could she screw up the plan of losing money you ask? Well here's how.Yup....your eyes aren't playing tricks...nope that isn't the little default screen to entice you to play. You are looking at a 10, J, Q, K, A of diamonds...royal freak'n flush! Court screwed up our plans in a big way by winning ONE THOUSAND SMACKERS!!!! IN YOUR FACE HARRAHS TRYING TO GET US TO SPEND MORE ON PARKING THAN $35!!! MWWWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! suckers. We sure showed them! Don't mess with the Ligers. It woulda been better for them to just give us the parking for free! Buuut nnoooooooOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOooooo! They had to try and take more of our money, when what really happened was we got a months worth of parking!! HAHA!!!

After that we promptly cashed out and got the heck outa there before the casino could guilt trip court into losing her money.
We then headed out to our original destination for the day, Cafe Du Monde. About half way there the folly of Shoney's caught up with your author as he proceeded to get nauseous, light headed, and could barely walk....But he trucked on for the promise of fried dough covered in powdered sugar awaited him at the end of the arduous journey. Along the way the group came across a large gathering baring the way to deep fried gloriness. Stopping for a moment to see what the hubbub was about the group witnessed quite the spectacle. It was a group of street performers and these were no ordinary performers like those human statue posers in the evil land of Bourbon Street. The performers found here were schooled in the way of the dance and the cracking of wise.
After the show we journeyed the last few yards to Cafe Du Monde where the fried goodness awaited in all its golden awesomesauce. We picked up 2 orders, a couple coffee's, 2 sodas, and a bottle of water. The savory delights were devoured forthwith and the beverages guzzled (except for the coffee....ouch). Feeling revitalized the group headed back to the hotel to get ready for the Halloween parade which would be starting at 7:30! We are totally stoked!!!!

See you later alligator, after 'while crocodile

My oh my what a morning! With 3 people getting to bed late it was an early morning. Adam and Erin getting in late from the Quarter and Mark staying up late reading cause he couldn't sleep with the Harley Davidson in his ear that was the snoring from Daaaaa Bearssss...

So everyone was a little on edge in the morning as we drove around trying to find Cafe Du Monde...which once we found saw there was a half mile long line and thus a quick change of plan was needed so we could get to the Swamp Tour. We ultimately decided to get closer to the tour location and just eat somewhere around there....so the amaaaazing delicatessen known to the world as....Shoney's....that's right....the AYCE buffet known for causing massive gastrointestinal problems in all it's patrons was the source of "nourishment" of choice for the hungry ligers....in hind sight not the best idea before a 2 hour long tour taking place in an alligator/croc filled swamp on a rickety boat...but I digress. Going down the food wasn't "terrible" per say...the french toast sticks and bacon were actually quite good. So after our bellies were full and the billing issues sorted out, cause employees at Shoney's apparently can't split a check without over charging on 2 of the bills and spending 15 minutes figuring out how they triple charged someone.

But enough on breakfast...that's not what you are here to read about....is it? You want to know why I'm talking about alligators and crocodiles....well here is why I'm talking about them...



Yes...that is exactly what it looks like....It *IS* a crazy ass cajun who is out of is fraking gourd trying to feed his hand to an alligator all so he can drag it kicking and screaming on to the boat by the mouth. That's right boys and girls, the Ligers went on a crocodile and alligator hunting swamp tour. What does our senior crocodile and alligator hunting correspondent, Courtney, on location think about them?

"I like them!"

And what do you like about them?

"They eat like this! AAAHHH!!!"

That's...a lovely impersonation there court....

"Don't make me come over there."
"Ahhhhhh SNAP!"

Whoa! ok Court...you win....they eat like that...
At any rate we got to see some crocs and alligators up close which was kinda nifty. It certainly did keep us all on edge, as displayed here as Ann(e), Erin, and Adam all keep a fearful watch out for a giant swamp monster to devour the boat.

AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! LOOOOOK OUT!!!!!!

Will the Ligers survive the monster croc?! Will Batman arrive in time to stop court from buying a pair of crocs?! Tune in later! Same Bat-Time! Same Bat-Blog!!!! DUNT DUNT DUNNNNN!!!!
