It's time to conjure up Marie Laveau - New Orleans Voodoo Queen

[progmom]

Some say that if you mark an X on her grave and knock three times, she will grant you a wish.

I'm wishing......

[BrklynLiberal]

1. You go girl!!!!

[progmom]

2. ...

[democrat in Tallahassee]

3. she may be floating down the street all by herself--that's another

problem--alot of the graves are above ground

[BrklynLiberal]

5. Not alot of the graves..ALL the graves!!!

[Redstone]

4. Even the Voudon won't do it this time, I'm afraid.

I want to be wrong, but I do not believe the Gris-gris will hold back the water this night...that city has been living in a fool's paradise of borrowed time for about twenty years now, and tonight the Gulf may come to claim its own.

Godspeed the people of the Delta.

7. and now i have a Charles Brown earworm...which isn't a bad thing

I fear we'll be having a New Orleans funeral...for New Orleans. :(

[Redstone]

9. Not a Dr John earworm?

"I walk on gilded splinters?"

Redstone

[progmom]

12. that will work for me too

Walk thru the fire
Fly thru the smoke
See my enemy
At the end of dey rope

Walk on pins and needles
See what they can do
Walk on gilded splinters
With the king of the Zulu

[Fenris]

6. X

I wish for a fancy turban. Oh and for the salvation of Louisiana and Mississippi. Not Jesusy salvation, physical salvation.

[progmom]

13. yeah - the turban rocks.

I can totally see you in it! ;)

[JVS]

8. Progmom, I'm disappointed that you would turn to necromancy at such a time

What are you going to tell progspawn when he tries to communicate with the dead? For shame!

[progmom]

10. I'll turn to a little help from voodoo if it will save New Orelans

:)

[JVS]

11. tsk tsk tsk

:shakeshead:

[progmom]

14. X

wishing for the safety of all our friends along the gulf coast...
