Today’s Best Story, Really

Posted in Phlogiston at 9:06 am by George Smith

Rendered speechless by the Louisiana Shrimp & Petroleum Festival, it beats the Los Angeles County Fair in Pomona by a few country miles, easy!

A blog at a suburban Chicago newspaper reads (its reporter is a tourist at the fest):

This festival has the best logo ever: a big shrimp wrapped around an oil rig like a wedding ring.

YOU MUST SEE! NO JOKE! IT’S AWESOME ! (Click on that link.)

Further:

But don’t get the locals (Morgan City population: 20,000) started on the federal moratorium President Obama has imposed on oil drilling through Nov. 30. “He’s trying to starve us,” one long time local told me at breakfast. Morgan City would dry up with an extended moratorium. Oil companies would flee to the waters of Brazil and Cuba.

Cuba? ORLY!
