New Orleans Experience In Picture
Before hitting Bourbon street for a night on the New Orleans town, we stopped in at a belly dance concert to watch some chicks shaking and moving. We were told to hiss at them. I also booed for good measure. I'm just now seeing their outfits for the first time in color. The venue where they danced was fitted solely with red lights so you couldn't tell what colors they were wearing, but I see now most of them wore red. Also, I felt like a hamster and I just wanted a plastic tube to crawl in.

Beware the second one from the right - I think she's evil.
Was the hamster feeling just incidental?
Yeah, I think so. Also I really missed the smell of cedar chips.
But the girl second to right was pretty nice, as I recall.
The place smelled of cedar chips? Odd. Though I have been in a bar that has the ground covered in cedar chips. Drunks and rodents must be similar. Perhaps a large hamster wheel would make a nice bar addition, or clear plastic tunnels that go to other bars.
I'm all about clear plastic tubes that lead to other bars. That would rock.
Yes. I liked it so much I blogged an idea about it.

this is my story:
i recently googled: "Noble Suydam Rustum Maluf". needlesstosay --- your blogspot was the first result/hit listed. with curious delight, i read about your encounters w/him. found four daily postings dated: 7/20, 8/20, 8/24 & 8/27. my connection w/maluf (aka: dr. strangelove); we both live in the same highrise condominum on Edgewater Dr. earlier this month, there was a condominium owners' association meeting. just fyi, there are 125 suites in our building... the condominium board of managers called an owners' meeting to address a pressing.. controversial.. derisive issue. dr.m. was in attendance. he raised his hand to be called upon. he was acknowledged. he stood up w/clipboard in-hand and read a prepared statement. and, for the most part, his statement was accurate and to the point. however the dialog that followed was somewhat inappropriate and confrontational... basically he lost the battle and stormed out of the meeting room. most of the long-time residents know him as an eccentric and bizarre old man. but, NOT as kind old man. i don't think that most of the residents are aware of the fact that he is very hard-of-hearing/deaf. poor guy. not only does he need a volume-control on his phone... he should make an investment and buy a whisper 2000; one for each ear. he is an original owner, meaning he's lived here since the building first opened in 1976. can you imagine what his suite must look like considering twenty-eight years of build-up of stuff, junk or trash? based on the same old same old soiled, tattered outfit he wears everyday; his place has to be a mess. at one point you were able to glean he does not have a television. i do not think he has a computer either; what do ya think? anyway, back to the google results for dr. noble maluf (an anatomist) ... a total of 387 hits.. but not all are directly related to him. (check it out) however, he's has numerous publications. 50 articles listed w/national library of medicine (PubMed & MEDLINE); went to amazon.com/books, again 130 items listed for OUR-GUY. journal publications w/info re kidneys, renal anatomy, the bladder, blood transfusions, etc., etc. one of the articles is dated 1954, ergo, he's been doing this for at least fifty years. a more current article in the "Anatomical Record" re the kidneys of giraffes lists the author as: N.S.R.Maluf - Dept of Nephrology @ Case Western Reserve University / CWRU, April 2002. ----- now, most-of-all, i want to pass on, to you, the following scenario: this week, we ( ten of us who live "in-the-building" ) got together for a picnic/potluck... there's picnic area at the rear of our building... tables and grills, it's right by the lake. there were several in our group of ten, who were not able to attend the recent owners' meeting, therefore, those who did attend presented a brief overview; including the info re OUR-GUY storming-out of the meeting. it was at that time, i introduced them to: "YOU LEARN SOMETHING NEW( almost ) EVERY DAY" by: kay-sra-sra. one of the group members read it aloud, i.e., the four daily postings re: dr. maluf. everyone listened in awe; all were very impressed with your narrative style, wit and humor. mucho applause. excellent ! wonderful ! thank you so much ! p.s., i tried to e-mail you @ wabc; not sure if you got it or not. please, be-in-touch.
Sounds kind of cruel, tiki.
I think what he meant to say was, "sounds kind of cool, tiki." Thanks for sharing. ;)
