FYYFF Day

As many of you know, today/yesterday (whichever... both) is FYYFF day. I've seen some discussion elsewhere of having the day officially declared such and am all for it.

The thing to do, I suppose, would be to pick out a particular FF to send a special FY to in order to mark the occasion. In which case, I call Adam Nossiter. Seems an appropriate send-off.

Sigh

This morning Chris Rose submitted a column about the surprising way in which his life intersected with Ashley Morris's. Upon seeing the Yellow Blog mentioned in the first paragraph, I became momentarily concerned at 1) The embarrassment at having my name in the paper as a tangential result of a man's death, and 2) The prospect of having various enthusiasts of Rose's column inadvertently and unnecessarily pointed to this minor personal website. But upon further reflection, who gives a shit what I think?

As for the column itself, it strikes something very near the right tone... in, of course, a very Rose-centric way. And more importantly, it has been well received by those who knew and loved Ashley best. As with any Rose column, I have my quibbles but they aren't very important. What is important is that anyone reading right now can still contribute to the fund set up by Ashley's friends for the benefit of his family in their time of need. You may do so by clicking on Chris Rose's goofy little purse-lipped face below.



Besides... who's a bigger douche than Stacy Head, anyway?

Nobody could have predicted

That Ashley Morris's funeral would have been such a spectacular, beautiful, event and (yes) party. The sun and dehydration from dancing in the cemetery while wearing a heavy black suit didn't do much for my stamina at the Bulldog afterwards. I had to go home and lie down after only two pitchers. If you noticed me wobbling on my feet and mumbling incoherently while trying to say hi yesterday, now you know why.

I think Ashley got everything he could have asked for. A little poetry, a little humor, and a whole lot of dancing. If you're looking for pictures, Adrastos will show you where to go.

Rumor Mill

The following dialog took place between r and myself earlier today via text message:

Me: I don't like Shockey

r: What did he do?

Me: I just don't like him. Saints considering trade.

r: Don't like him but kinda like the tough play. He could fill the Kyle Turley void.

Me: We don't want that void filled. He would get along well with Bush from what I hear.

r: Why?

Me: He's kind of a pretty-boy celeb-humping douche type.

r: He is not pretty. I would hump celebs if they were willing.




Remember, you can still help the family of one of the NOLA Blogosphere's (and the world's for that matter) all-time greatest Saints fans by clicking on the image below.

In other words, if you are attempting to order a New Orleans Saints #00 replica jersey with the name Fuckmook on the back, you are basically shit out of luck.
