5/25/2006: Shrimp and Petroleum Queen - Page 3

That's some good detective work xoB. I worked out that the only festival with BHF is Black Heritage Festival...

Is this you Miss BHF? If so, the smile is very cool, the crown is totally awesome. I take back whatever I originally said, I must have been grumpy and particularly sarcastic that day.

I missed this thread first time around...

Bwahahahahaha... have bolded my favourite festival. Because after all, the woodsmen live out in the woods for months. And boy when they get back to civilisation there are two things they are craving. Sausage... and queens!

Welcome Miss BHF. Even if you did just call everyone on a whole forum wrong. If you were picked for your brains then you've been doubly blessed and good luck to you.

If she is BHF queen, lemme just tell her: hello, welcome and that is one popish crown ya gots on there.

BrianR · 05-25-2008, 09:36 AM

Um, did anyone notice that this thread is two years old?

I get confused easily enough without resurrecting old threads and making me think they're new and I missed them.

Cloud · 05-25-2008, 09:46 AM

don't fuss--we got a new member from it. Short-term, probably, tho.

And no, I didn't notice. That means they have a new queen! And why shouldn't Louisianans celebrate what they can, especially after Katrina?

It's good to be the queen.[/Mel Brooks]

Based on my experience, the two are not mutually exclusive.

Aye

I guess Miss BHF was searching under Louisiana Festival Queens, given she has a vested interest, and up popped this old thread, which she felt was worth a response.

Me, I like some expert feedback.

Me too. One of the coolest things, which happens more often in IOtD, is when a person that took the picture, or was involved in the incident, shows up to give us the inside dope. Like the guy that took the picture of the cow's tongue, or the military fireman in the hangar foam thread.

Undertoad · 05-25-2008, 03:38 PM

That cow's tongue still turns up.

Cloud · 05-25-2008, 03:39 PM

(trying to find the cow in the picture. so I'm slow. bite me.)

missbhf08 · 05-25-2008, 04:21 PM

Actually that's not me. It's the girl who crowned me. And there was no anger in what I said, I just didn't want anyone to be misinformed for what said. Yes, I did think that Shrimp and Petroleum is a really odd combination, but you'd have to go to Morgan City, LA to really understand.

Cloud · 05-25-2008, 04:27 PM

do we have to?

stick around, miss big hair fan! you might be pleasantly surprised at what goes on here.

then again . . . you might not.

Sundae · 05-25-2008, 06:05 PM

Please stick around!
We will value your intelligence and especially a different take on things. There are some LA posters from what I can remember, but we're a fluid community here - people post when it interests them.

I was going to say we will value your brains, but given the trend of providing recipes for the Image of the Day, I don't want you to think we're zombies!

Seriously - respect for sticking up for something you are involved in that might not get respect elsewhere.

It wasn't a joke. Dumbness is in no way a disqualification for the PhD. In fact I've known some who'd make you question whether it was "dumb as" a box of rocks, or "dumber than."

Did you notice that the festival king is some 60+ year old guy and the queen is a nubile barely legal young lady?

And up until that moment, I'll bet the thought $100 a barrel oil was a good as it gets.
