It’s Super Bowl Sunday…

It’s also the middle of Mardi Gras, the partyingest party known to mankind, and you want to show support for the Saints. How do you do it?

By having an RC Cola and a Moon Pie of course! Geaux Saints!!!

And since I do live in Alabama, here is a story from Lewis Grizzard:

One day a man walks into a place and orders an RC Cola and a Moon Pie. The guy behind the counter says, “You must be from Alabama.”

The customer replied angrily, “Just because I ordered an RC Cola and a Moon Pie, how come you think I must be from Alabama? If I ordered spaghetti, would you think I was from Italy? If I ordered sausage, would you say I was from Poland?”

The man at the counter says, “Well, I can’t say. It’s never happened.”

So the customer asks, “Then how come when I come in here and order an RC Cola and a Moon Pie, you just automatically assume I’m from Alabama?”

And the man calmly replies, “‘Cause this is a hardware store.”

    The game has started. I think I’ll be hoarse tomorrow.

    Most of the commercials are bland.

    I remember going to Hudson’s hardware and getting an RC there. They probably had moonpies too.

    I never could get into moon pies, but I love the RC’s to this day.

    BTW, congrats Saints! WHO DAT?

    So which do we like better, the chocolate moon pies or the banana flavored?

    You can go to Bandera,Texas and buy Bloody Bull Bloody Mary Mix at the Ace Hardware. Just trust me on that one.

    We emptied out the tubas in the bandroom once and found M&Ms and a moon pie. Only in the South.

    Bubba loves Moon Pies!

    Grizzard! I’m so glad you know him. Wasn’t he wonderful? Probably one of my favorite storytellers of all times. Pat McManus, too.
