I wanna see blood trickling out of your ears.

In case you didn't want to wade through the Bedouin parts of the prior post, here's the Saints stuff, dammit.

I'm in the middle east. I won't be at the Bucs game. You must take up the slack.

I may not be the loudest member of section 635, but I'm up there. I'm probably the most psychotic. I scream so loud and so much that people are constantly turning around to look, to see if that Clint Eastwood vein on my temple will explode this time.

Coach wants us to be loud.

"We have an opportunity to have a big advantage with the Superdome and our fan base. So this week, the challenge for us as a team is to play our best game at home against a good football team, and the opportunity for our fans is to be louder than they have been to date, or since I've been here, regardless of last year's season," Payton said. "The advantage they can create is enormous. And fortunately it's a 3:15 game, so that will allow them to sleep in a little bit and get revved up."

Hear that? Coach wants you to party all night Saturday. Then you have time to go to church (or fire temple) on Sunday, have a couple of bloody doubles, and get ready to scream until you need a new larynx.

I won't be there. You have to scream for me.

I paid the $24.99 so I can watch the game on the internets. I want to hear you. I want to hear you when I hit mute. I want for the state to have to bring in structural engineers on Monday to search for cracks and damage due to SPLs over 120 db.

I want it louder than last year.

The holder of my tickets will be blowing the magic horn. He is bringing the magic eye-black. Please, believers, let him anoint you with the magic eye-black.

He must take up the slack.

We must be loud. We must peel paint.

We know how important this is.

So let it be written.

So let it be done.

I'm headed to Two Chiefs right now for the good luck taste.

Then tomorrow, it gets very loud indeed.

A TV channel in my hotel is advertising in Arabic the movies that are coming up in December. The background music? The Saints Are Coming.

It's a sign, you Philistines!!!

I will give a go at getting the horn in for this one.

BRASS, baby.

You will be sorely missed.

We'll take up the slack for ya.

The fans brought it, Sean Payton gave it away.

I finished readnig Zeitoun last week, and couldn't stop thinking about it during the big scary storm yesterday (especially when our power went out for five hours). I am looking forward to our book group discussion about it.Congratulations on finishing your first semester! You are well on your way to the big finish!

Danno,I just prepared this recpie last night, with a few adjustments, and it came out absolutely divine.I am a N.O. expatriate and have longed for a chicken drumstick as good as Popeye's for a long time I think I finally found my substitute. The adjustments I made were primarily the salt amounts, which was originally because I was only making 8 drumsticks, but then also realized that 4 tabe's is a heckuva lot of salt! I reduced it to 1 Tabe. Then 1 tsp of fresh ground black and a 1/2 tsp of cayenne.I think the sweat technique is a staple for me now.The bleeding is also a staple for me now. OH and the MOST important: salt water seasoning technique. I added 2 bay leaves and tabasco to the water as well but only for 20 minutes and it worked fine.I pan fried (Veg/peanut/Veg Lard mix) it at a starting temp of 390 (due to the inherent temp drop) and then kept it steady at 350-360.10 minutes on both sides and Wa-La! Perfectly seasoned, crispy chicken. No over browning or burning at all.I can't thank you enough, this recpie is 10/10
