Understanding Search

Wednesday, February 5th, “Super Tuesday” dominated….but were not gonna talk about the because it is 7:30 Central time and it is way too early to know a whole lot.

A much more exciting topic, Mardi Gras, going on this week in New Orleans and around the United States has been on people’s minds.  Mardi Gras celebrates Fat Tuesday which is the final day before fasting for Lent.  What’s crazy is “mardi gras” actually means “fat tuesday” in French.  The infamous “Hurricane” beverage (traditional Mardia Gras favorite) has also been a hot search.  They really are tasty beverages and incredibly easy to make (or so I thought in college when it was basically a bunch of fruit juices and Everclear).  However, it appears the true recipe is quite elaborate….this is the true, New Orleans, rent a car bulgaria???????? ????? ????????Hurricane Recipe. 

So it’s Monday, February 4th and I have returned.  What a Super Bowl?  To me, the upset wasn’t near as big a story as the defensive battle we witnessed.  Congratulations to the New York Giants….anyone that can hold New England to 14 points and sack Brady five times deserves a big, diamond-studded Super Bowl ring. 

The leading search for Friday, February 2nd, 2008 is for a 7-foot Spaniard.  Pau Gasol, formerly of the Memphis Grizzlies, was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers today.  Maybe my boy Colorado Kobe will now quit his complaining and be content with the pieces around him.  The Laker’s now feature four All-Star caliber players (Colorado Kobe, Andrew Bynum, Lamar Odom and Gasol).  Unfortunately, the NBA’s Western Conference is absolutely loaded and the Lakers will have to get through super-powers Phoenix, Dallas and San Antonio before they can be considered elite.  But, it is a start and will definitely make the rest of the NBA take notice that these Lakers are ready to compete.
