funny or not?

Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Excellent day to make strange mouth noises, particularly in a crowded elevator.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
You will develop a passion for Cajun cuisine, and will refuse to eat anything that hasn’t been "blackened." Your family will draw the line at blackened corn flakes, however.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Today you will be struck by an odd thought. It will do little actual damage, fortunately.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
This might be a good time to consider night school. That’s night, not knight. Unless you enjoy clanking around in armor, of course. Some people do.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Remember: it’s a pride of lions, a gaggle of geese, and a murder of crows. More important for you today, though: a group of budgies is a "bludgeoning. "
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Stay home today, with the curtains drawn and the door locked. Trust me on this one.
Libra (September 22 – October 22)
Beware of bubonic plague today. Other than that, things will be fairly normal.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
You will be walking along today when you overhear someone making a snide remark about you, drawing an unflattering comparison between your personality, and landfill. A snappy reply will occur to you, sometime late next week.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
You will discover a bassoon player hiding in the shrubbery. That’s not something you should try to deal with yourself — call in the professionals.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Today will be the best day of your life, if you can just remember … er … now what was that? Hmmm. If you can just remember something really important. Otherwise, no. Hmmm.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
This week, you’ll discover a trick to make those meetings seem more interesting. Imagine that everyone else has a ferret clinging to their head.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
You will develop the extremely rare "Perkin’s Disease", and will start having a strange compulsion to shoot things with tranquilizer darts, or sell insurance. Plus, you will try to trick your friend, "Jim", into wrestling a giant anaconda.

I’m aries. hmmm think i would be carried away by men in white coats

Houston late-night or "dive" restaurants (and bars)?

My old college roommates and I are coming in for the Texas Bowl. Although we like spending time with other alumni at the game, we’d like to try a little bit of the local culture. We’d prefer to avoid tourist traps and warehouse-style restaurants.

Any restaurants you’d recommend? Cajun, South American, Barbecue, or Tex-Mex would be preferred because we can get a lot of the other foods in the places we live. Of course, any good food would be fine.

As for bars, anything with pints, darts, and a place to talk would be good. We see each other about once every five years, and at least two of the three of us aren’t looking to meet anyone. Good beer and a decent jukebox would be nice too.

Thanks.

(I wrote the same question earlier today but you never know who might look at things at night instead of the morning.)

Goode company BBQ (2 locations in Houston)-one is in or near the Rice Village area.
Pappadeaux Cajun (several locations throughout Houston- kinda lound and very busy, you may say like a warehouse, but food is always excellent-and us locals eat there weekly)
La Mexicana (Mexican-authentic: cactus and menudo soup)
Americas or Churrascos (excellent S. American cuisine both owned by same owners….Americas is definately has the coolest decor in town).

Pick up our local free entertainment paper and you will find nice pubs with good live bands

Can eny one name the artist of a good Cajun band??

I need to know the name or artist of a good Cajun song. I mean the good old southern bayou type music with all the accordions,fiddles and French speaking stuff?

Agree with earlier posts

http://www.apple.com/search/ipoditunes/?q=beausoleil

try the best of Beausoleil

grand mallet is a good one for the style you requested

Another favorite song of mine by Hank William and also has been performed by many is
Jambalaya (on the bayou)

its a classic!

Good-bye, Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou.
My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou.

(Chorus)
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
‘Cause tonight I’m gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou.

Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin’
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style and go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou.

(Chorus)
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
‘Cause tonight I’m gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou.

Settle down far from town, get me a pirogue
And I’ll catch all the fish in the bayou
Swap my mon to buy Yvonne what she need-o
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou.

(Chorus)Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
‘Cause tonight I’m gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou.

TEAM BeauSoleil Takes First for Market Viability in 2009 Solar Decathlon

2 TEAM BeauSoleil Takes First for Market Viability in 2009 Solar DecathlonThe BeauSoleil Louisiana Solar Home was designed and built by Louisiana students for Louisiana residents. Judges for the Market Viability contest in the 2009 U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon recognized that.

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette team placed first in the contest. Judges were looking for homes that answered the needs of their clients.

TEAM BeauSoleil designed for Louisiana residents who face harsh summers and hurricanes.

The (BeauSoleil) house hit on all cylinders, said Joyce Mason, Market Viability judge and vice president for marketing with Pardee Homes. We were so impressed with the degree to which the team listened to their market. They didnt impose their ideas or try to infer them upon their residents.

The team is one of 20 university teams from across the globe competing in the 2009 Solar Decathlon on the National Mall. TEAM BeauSoleil is the only team from Louisiana to ever participate in this contest held every two years.

We knew from the beginning that if we couldnt bring this home to the people of Louisiana, we wouldnt accomplish anything, said Gretchen Lacombe Vanicor, BeauSoleil project manager. We paid a lot of attention to our Cajun culture and produced a product that is viable.
