If ANY City has ever deserved it, it's Nawlins.

Good for them.

 

[Mickey Richaud]

Yep - to both!

You know what impresses me ? Although the fans (and desevedly so after 43 years) were somewhat boisterous, the team was humble and subdued after the victory.
I imagine they were still absorbing what happened; I know I am. Maybe tomorrow during the Victory Parade they'll be able to let their emotions out.
"Bless you, boys"

 

[Mickey Richaud]

Class act, to be sure.

Lovin'da Saints win but I have a question for you, Mickey:
how do you pronounce "Et les bons temps roulent"? I'm barely passable with English; French, not at all....
Thanks!
Roy

"Et lay bon tom roolain"

~Or a reasonable facsimile thereof...~

Now that's pretty good,Mickey. Or should I say c'est ce bon??

Thanks Mickey. I'll have to add that to my VERY meager French vocabulary; just in case I ever get to visit Paris again. I was amazed at how receptive people there were to my use of please, thank you and excuse (in French of course). Those few words worked wonders for me. Of course I'm not certain what the reaction will be to "Et lay bon tom roolain". Of course a return trip there doesn't appear to be on the horizion so I may never know....

Yeah, it's pretty hard to put the cajun/french inflection on it in type.

We don't usually do the "et" part where I'm from and the "bons" and "temp" part sounds like Simon LeBon's last name is pronounced. (spelling may be incorrect, but he's the guy from Duran Duran.) And "roulent" is more of a "roolay."

I hate reading new French words, they never sound like they look.

Growning up as a child, I never realized the French words were different from English. It made it really difficult to look up freind's names in the phone book if they were of acadian decent.

If you can speak Parisian French, try putting some beans in your mouth and talking. You will then be speaking Cajun French.

 

[DrEntropy]

"Beans", huh? That ain't what some of th' Parisian French I've known say is in there...

 

[Mickey Richaud]

Y'all play nice, now....

Yeah, that third person "-ent" has to travel up into the sinus cavities to sound right.
