This is a short diary, I'll delete if encouraged, but I just received the coolest email from Dirty Coast. This is a company in New Orleans that sprung up after the storm, and they make awesome, hilarious t-shirts about nola.
This latest one is an Obama t-shirt. Geauxbama. From their email:
We normally try to stay somewhat apolitical, but after Barrack’s [sic] speech at Tulane we could not help ourselves.
My mom went to that speech, she said it was the most powerful energy she had seen in politics since JFK.
For those not in on the joke, Geaux is our version of "Go". So many Cajun and French names in Louisiana end with the spelling "eaux", example Boudreaux (pronounced Boo-dro or Bud-dro), that we apply the spelling to syllables that have a long O sound. (Geaux Tigers!).
Cheers, ya'll.
