The other night, my friends and I held a packing party which consisted of cardboard boxes, name calling and things that would frighten fish! But we all had an extremely fun time.
Around 1030, Clairee discovers her need for pie. We set out on a journey for any pie Baton Rouge could offer. We stopped at IHOP, which was fruitless, to say the least. We were seated promptly by a woman with too much hair for one head. Then proceeded to wait a good 5 or so minutes before deciding we should try somewhere else. Not only did no one come to greet us, IHOP doesn't even sell pie-what 24 hour establishment doesn't sell pie??!?!??!!!
Our travels took us next to Waffle House. I know they serve pie, I've eaten it! After deciding there were five of us and we all could not fit in a four person booth, we determined we'd find nourishment elsewhere. That's when the magical words rang like birds singing on a summer's morn; unless that morn is Saturday before 9am and you're trying to sleep and loudmouth Snow White-wanna-be bird won't shut up! We heard, PLUCKER'S! No, not plucking the loud bird, Plucker's-known for their wings by most. But Clairee, Ouizer and I know them for their delicious Chicken Nachos. Although, Clairee was not in search of Nachos this eve', oh no. She was in search of another Plucker's delicacy...the Fried Twinkee. That's right, we fry everything in the south, I've even had friend Oreos-oh, heaven will have those!
On our way through the great campus of LSU to the magical land of fried fatness, we stopped by an old friend, Mike.
Mike is none other than the mascot of the 2008 National State football Champs! The funny part is we didn't think he'd even come out. We walked around his cage for a little while. And when I say cage, this is no ordinary cage. This is a 15,000 sq foot enclosure to house this wonderful mammal. It is gorgeous! Anyway, we walked around it and as if cued for his entrance, he appeared.
We were so happy. He even posed for us for a bit, but we only got back shots of him. As if to say, "this is my better side." But he seriously came over to us, plopped down and sat for about 10 minutes. Then he laid down to nap. Such a camera whore.
Now, for those of you who may be scared of death defying feats, please do not read any further. No-DON'T! It could be too dangerous for you to view. For, what I'm about to show you has never been attempted by anyone before with a purple shirt on. Please, please, don't try this at home.
After our "feat" with Mike, we pressed on to our destination of Plucker's. Fun and a sense of nausea was had by all. Fried Twinkee's are great, but at 1130 at night, they too can be dangerous!
