We Ain't Talking Jambalaya and Hot Wings , Folks !!!
During the Super Bowl, it is customary for the Mayors of the two competing cities to place a bet between each other on the outcome of the game. Usually, it involves some type of indigenous food from the area. This year, there will be a different twist on the game, and we don't really blame the format changing - although it IS a bit, shall we say, extreme....
There is no doubt that New Orleans' French-Cajun cooking has it all over the local fare in Indianapolis. We'll take Etoufee' and Shrimp and Grits over Elephant Ears and Orville Redenbacher Popcorn anyday..... New Orleans Mayor Ray 'Chocolate City' Nagin and Indy Mayor Greg Ballard had to find other , more even things to bet on. Ballard explains, "We thought about trading David Letterman for Ellen DeGeneres, but sometimes I have NO IDEA what that girl is talking about. Then we were going to trade John Cougar Mellencamp for Harry Connick, Jr. but Old JCM told me to go f**k myself - they don't call him Little Bastard for nothing."
So, when food, TV talk show hosts and musicians can't cut a deal, where do you go? TOTAL ANNIHILATION !!!!!!! Yes, both mayors have signed off on a deal that will allow a 'small nuclear device' to be dropped on the losing city's downtown area as soon as the game expires - pun intended. Why are Nagin and Ballard going to such extremes? Hey, this is the Super Bowl, baby!! And in these politically charged times, you need to throw all your marbles on the table - even if it means a half-million lives. Residents of The Big Easy and America's Largest Landlocked City (that's one hell of a slogan, ain't it?) , you have been warned......
