Subject:	Re: Blanchard


As we all know, Blanchard was a GDI his first semester at LSU.  While living in Power dorm, Blanchard once overheard one of the Pi PHi for boys that he was hanging out with say "Hey, Dude, Sorority girls are hot!"  Blanchard, being from Paincourteville and not being what we would call a 'master' of the English language, though that this 'fresh' Pi Phi meant "All greek girls are good in bed."  So what did Blanchard do.  He went out and found the first GREEK girl he could, and he started dating her.  After many pleasant years, (some of which I will not mention for Tim's sake, and mine)  Tim and his Greek Goddess are engaged.  Yes, that's right.  Tim took Lenhart's advice (because we all know that Lenhart is the authority on relationships with the opposite sex; I mean, who wouldn't take his advice) and Tim decided to start his life sentence with a lovely girl who has bunch of friends who all give it up like it was going out o! f style.  
 
Tim's wedding is on THE DAY OF THE MISSISSIPPI STATE GAME.  For those of you who are not Tiger fans (which seems to be most of you these days), that is Oct. 20th.  I know, it is an away game, which is better than having a wedding on a home game.  But some of us who are fans like to go to the out of town games.  True story, here.  I went to a wedding with Louise and her mother on Friday night.  You have not lived until you take two dates to a wedding, one of whom is engaged to your good friend and the other whom cannot speak the language.  Anyway, after the wedding that we attended, Louise's mom asked me if I would prefer Tim's wedding ceremony be in either half English and half Greek, or all in Greek.  I responded "I do not care.  I will be listening to the LSU game on my headphones anyway."  I know what some of you are saying, it is only one game.  Yes, and I am sure that was the only weekend they could hav! e it since so many of us from New Orleans have been to a wedding at the Greek Cultural Center, because all of us from New Orleans have been to numerous weddings / goat roasts there.  Anyway, it is a done deal, and we are all happy for the couple.
 
The real point of this e-mail is to organize Tim's bachelor party.  We have it planned for the weekend of September 22 (what a novel idea!!!  Plan a wedding event on a weekend where there is neither an LSU event, nor Jazz Fest!!!)  We are planning to go to Vegas.  As per our current plans, we would leave on that Thursday (the 20th, I think) and return on Sunday.  'Paw Paw' Blanchard heard that in September, his game of choice really starts hitting, that of course would be the nickel slots.  'Paw Paw' already has his Panama Jack hat, his         "Geaux Dinar-deaux" T-shirt, his jams, and his black socks with brown leather sandals packed and ready.  His fanny pack is stuffed with Twinkies and silver dimes.  He is really fired up about the $1.99 shrimp cocktail (early bird special, of course.)
The plans are to get there Thursday night (Nicky, get more drink tickets.)  Thursday night we can get settled, possibly gamble a bit.  On Friday, maybe play golf (although I will probably be too drunk / hung over / missing for an early tee time.)  On Friday night, we can go "clubbin'", as I am sure The Tricky Texas Trio (Lenhart, Landry, and Mitch) will want to do.  On Saturday, Tim wants to wake up early, get the sports section of the Advocate, drink coffee, and bitch about the Tigers.  Instead, we are going to watch and bet on College Football all day.
Saturday night, Tim wants to go see Sigfried and Roy.  However, we are not doing that.  If he wants to see gay men play with caged tigers, he can find out the next time Nesbitt tries out for the LSU cheerleading team.  Instead, either SaturDay or Friday night, myself and a select group (yet to be determined, but including Lenhart if he is not doing his best Ricky Martin impression at Club C2K) will go on a recon mission to the Deja Vu.  Therefore, on Saturday night, we will have entertainment in the room that some of us have seen before, and who know what is expected of them (that way Lenhart will not make the entertainment  cry when he asks them to fuck his Elway blow-up doll).  Remember Tim.  If you use a strap on, it is not considered cheating.  I am a future lawyer.  I should know.
This weekend is September 22.  There is no excuse for you to come up with when you have this much notice.  Out of money?  Bullshit.  Save up until then.  Have to work?  Bullshit.  Take a vacation day.  Actually, September will be the first month that I will be gainfully employed.  But, I know that my boss, the Honorable G.Thomas Porteous, will let me off for one day if debauchery will be had, although I may have to put a few hundreds on black for him periodically throughout the weekend.
For those of you who will be recently married, I already have an excuse for you.  "Honey, Tim came to all OUR wedding functions.  The least I can do is return the favor."
For those of you that will be married shortly after Tim, I also have an excuse. "Baby / Schmoopy / I wish your tits were as big as Mindy/, if want other people to come to our wedding functions, then I have to attend theirs."  For all of you single guys, no excuse.
Please respond to this e-mail at your earliest convenience, or I will see ya'll this weekend.  All plans are subject to change.  (Chad, if you want to send an e-mail to only me, hit 'Reply to sender.'  If you hit 'Reply to all'. it sends the message to all of the RECEPIENTS of the original message.  I know that you said Law School was such a stupid idea compared to Business School, but I think you could learn from some of our lessons, such as it is better to remain silent and be thought of as a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.)
 
Hope this e-mail finds you doing well.
 
Signed,
Granola, Blarry, your Daddy, Mushroom head, Captain Nic, King, Smokey, charming drunk, your heighness, the one who never looses his emotions when he drinks, SG Nerd, Governor, lawyer, or anything else you want to call me.
