Wheel....Of.....Misfortune!

A few days ago I heard a radio ad announcing that the television program "Wheel of Fortune" is coming to New Orleans. That's right, they are coming in August to film a week of shows right in our own convention center. When people come to visit our city they undoubtedly rank the convention center right up there with bourbon street as the thing to see. I suppose it's the only place big enough, outside of the superdome, to host the throngs of people who flock to see VannaWhite turn those letters. She doesn't even turn them anymore, she just points to them. The Carol Merrill of the ages. I think they should put the wheel right there on Bourbon Street with the drunks throwing up on Pat Sajak's suit and Vanna sweating her (?) tits off in the heat.

All of this aside, I started to think, "They are going to use contestants from the New Orleans area? Surely not, they'll fly in actors from LA or something, they surely don't think they're going to get anyone from this city smart enough to know the answers and be willing to go on their show." Think of it, Pat's up there with Bouderaux, Thibideaux and Washington, none of them with enough sense to come up with anything more complicated than "crawfish boil." I know I shouldn't pick on New Orleans people as I did choose to live here, but these truly are not the brightest people on the face of the earth. I haven't seen the show in a long time but I'll have to watch just to get a good laugh at my own cities expense.
