From: — Ferdie (@ferdiewerdie) May, 2013 You are so fine and cute that. ..

NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — If actress Sanaa Lathan would stand straight up and walk right off of this page into my arms I would fall to pieces. Yes, I’d be all shook up. You never know when my door bell or my phone might ring. I do not say that I’d drink her bath water b/c I never could understand that. But, I’d blankity, blankity, blank her. Of course, I cannot say what I’d do to/with her because I do not kiss-and-tell. ONE DAY!! Yes, one day I might get that call or that knock at the door. Don’t they always tell you to DREAM BIG?

A. Peterson vs. #GayMarriage

Posted in Politics, Sports by
NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — Mixing sports with politics (the gay-marriage issue & the coming-out issue) is once again in the news. Top NFL #runningback voices opposition. Vikings’ Adrian Peterson is probably the best r/b in the league. He has now come out on the side of not liking gay-marriage. I looked up the definition of marriage. There are 2 definitions now in dictionary.com: a) union between a man & woman; b) gay marriage.

Adrian Peterson says he’s ‘not with’ gay marriage – NFL – SI.com

sportsillustrated.cnn.com

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – NFL MVP Adrian Peterson says he has family members who are gay whom he loves and respects. But on gay marriage, the Minnesota Vikings running back says “that’s not something I believe in.”Read More at Sport Illustrated: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2013/football/nfl/wires/05/27/2020.ap.fbn.vikings.peterson.gay.marriage.0158/index.html#ixzz2UVsBLJfK
My readers are probably looking for a clearer opinion from me. I must admit that I have to study the issue further. That is why I looked up the definition of marriage. I thought that looking up the definition would give me a clear-cut, black-and-white answer. However, now-a-days even vaunted institutions like our dictionary have changed to reflect modern mores/customs. Which, I must say, is actually the definition of a dictionary. Our dictionaries change, mend and bend with time.
The encyclopedia, however,  tells a different story. I subsequently looked up the word “marriage” in the encyclopedia. This definition is it my friends. This encyclopedia definition is how I roll! haha: MARRIAGE; socially sanctioned union that reproduces the family. END OF SUBJECT. CASE CLOSED! Adrian Peterson seems to be CORRECT.

So, meanwhile, I will leave here what survived the translation. If I can figure things out I will try again to post the bracket here. SORRY!!

My money tonight is on San Antonio. I predict that San Antonio will meet Miami Heat in the championship series. DUH!!!

Miranda Rights and Boston Bomber

Posted in Entertainment by

Yes, Boston marathon bomber Dzhohkar Tsarnaiv does have an American right to his Miranda rights and a good defense. I know; but deep inside I feel that these high-priced, celebrity lawyers who win their high-profile clients/criminals light sentences (or freedom) need to be strung up too. I think that the victims of many horrible crimes are violated again when justice seems to give the murderers and criminals more rights than the people whom they kill and maim.

I’m just saying. Unduly light sentences and getting off Scott Free are results that allow many criminals to have little fear of the scales of justice.

Thou Doth Flatter Thyself

Posted in Entertainment, Love by
NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — My reported, reputed and conjectured romantic demise has been much exaggerated and ballyhooed. I find it necessary to clarify my vaunted standing with respect to the passage of time as it is related to my “romantical” prowess.
So, Ferdie Werdie shared a link from near New Orleans:

My post recently GROW OLD WITH DIGNITY about my so-called decline in the field of amorous endeavors is catching some vended interest around the world from other old farts, I mean,  sum’a-duh-beyotches like myself. I hope that this announcement about my continued prowess and breathing of H2O actually goes viral. Some of my lovely nephews, nieces, offspring, etc. doth flatter themselves too much when they clamor that I am old and washed-up. Also, my so-called sexual decline in the romance department is totally & overly exaggerated. Below, I list one Twitter fan of mine who has graciously taken notice of my announcement and shared it with the world.
George Brownell‏@gwbrownell tweeted approval of @ferdiewerdie’s announcement by reTweeting it here:

Yes, I appreciated someone noticing my dilemma and giving me support.  7 Apr Need our offspring say, “Dad, you have to learn to grow old with dignity?” (via @ferdiewerdie)  http://wp.me/p1u4ud-cJ

@gwbrownell graciously shared ferdie’s tweet…
So, @FerdieWerdie magnanimously replied: I think that fine young ladies truly cannot help themselves around me, 007-Goldfinger. I mean …Werdie; Ferdie Werdie ..LOL. That is why I wanted to share this movie clip based on my book DRIVE WOMEN CRAZY.

This was my my reply to @gwbrownell’s retweet:

George Brownell‏@gwbrownell    7 Apr  also tweeted the picture above and thanked the the young lady who posted the picture.: “Good question, Diane.” … ( Thanks, Diane Carlysle ) pic.twitter.com/LuZwef4J2G

NOLA Sheriff Marlin Gusman is Toast

Posted in Entertainment, Politics by

ORLEANS PARISH PRISON, NEW ORLEANS (by FerdieWerdie Gazette) — Here is the link: OPP Prison Video that this week has rocked the career of Sheriff Marlin Gusman of New Orleans. His prison has been voted the worst prison in America. Gusman was in court on Thursday (at a Federal decree hearing) insanely seeking more money for the embattled jail. However, before Thursday’s decree hearing,  he had been ducking and hiding from questions about the video since it was made public on Tuesday April 2. He had it locked away in a vault at the prison until the news media sued to have it made public. Gusman was mum until the hearing. His tight lips and media-dodging moves have the public wondering if his career can survive the horrific video. He said that he would answer questions at the hearing.

In the video, inmates can be seen gambling at Orleans Parish Prison, shooting drugs, carrying a gun in the prison and wandering Bourbon Street.

UPDATE (WDSU News) — When asked if he would  invoke his Fifth Amendment right, Gusman said he would not and that he would, in  fact, testify in court.

Criminologist John Penny  expects Gusman’s testimony to be consistent with his many previous remarks on the  jail’s status.

“He will say that the city  has shirked its responsibility with furnishing them with the kinds of funding  needed to run a top-flight prison system,” Penny said.

The city, which funds the  jail, objects to the potential cost of the consent decree agreement. After the  jaw-dropping videos were released on Tuesday, Mayor Mitch Landrieu is urging  that the federal government appoint someone other than Gusman to run the  lockup.

Live in da Hive vs. Miami Heat

The fine Jennifer Hale ‏@JenHale504 on 25 March tweeted:
Hornets upset the Nuggets 110-86 with 7 Nola players in double digits. Next up: Clippers & Heat.

My Reply to @JenHale504:

Ferdie Werdie‏ @ferdiewerdie tweeted,
@JenHale504 >>We couldn’t do it. #Clippers prevailed. #TGIF & let’s beat da #Heat as #Hornets are again live in da hive. Jennifer, I just have to say to you right here: Geaux, You Fine Thang …You are totally gorgeous; and you make me shake like a leaf every time you do an interview on TV. Like Elvis said, “I’M ALL SHOOK UP!!”

Fine Interviews: Jennifer Hale

NEW ORLEANS (by Ferdie) — I recently replied with a tweet to lovely Jennifer Hale, the gorgeous sandy-haired courtside reporter for the Hornets, about the Hornets’ fortunes. In the photo above she is showing her lovely smile. On Monday, March 25, I absolutely enjoyed watching the Hornets break the Denver Nuggets’ 15-game winning streak. The Bees scored the victory even without 1st-string play-makers Eric Gordan & Greivis Vasquez who were injured. It was an exciting game! I just had to put my two-cents in Re: Jennifer’s tweet. Between the action on the court and Jennifer’s fine interviews, I had a fun time. Subsequently, the high-flying Los Angeles Clippers dared to come to the Big Easy on Wednesday, March 27, and bury their foot in the Hornets’ buttockle area. TONIGHT in the hive: The Heat! The Heat! The Miami Heat! YES, I’M STUTTERING!

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Brian Roberts (back-up point guard for Greivis Vasquez) on Monday could not himself believe the outstanding performance which he delivered to help end Denver’s 15-game win streak.

Pelicans: Wait ‘Til Next Year

Pelicans

by Ferdie Werdie

If you turn off any Hornets game with 5 or 6 minutes left you would have seen a great game. The Hor”PELI”cants were beating the “hated” Lakers by 21 points near the end of the 3rd Quarter, but lost 108-102 in the end. Coach Monty Williams SUCKS! Almost every game, the Pelicants have a large lead into the final minutes of the game ..until that terrible coach, Monty, starts coaching us to a horrific loss. What a genius! NOTtttttt!!!!

I Don’t “Get” Twitter

Ferdie Werdie shared a link from a 60 Minutes tweet Re: the creator of Twitter.
– – I learned a different aspect of Twitter that might help me like it a wee bit more. I don’t “get” Twitter because there are so many tweets worldwide per minute that …well, anyway, there are too many tweets. This morning I read what the creator-of-Twitter’s concept was when he invented it. This kind of gives me a new, helpful perspective on Twitter …somewhat.

I Wuv the Lakers

Posted in Sports by

Ferdie‏@ferdiewerdie2013 Playoffs NOTE: this was posted in 2013. The LAKERS were swept by the Spurs that year. The Hornet were last in their division that year. The Pelicans were last in their division this year. The Pelicans will be last in their division forever, unless they get a new coach. I will WUV the Lakers before the Pelicans climb from the cellar as long as they keep this “bottom-feeder” coach.

@Hornets >>The doggone #Lakers have plopped their butts in a seat to the #bigdance. Plenty games are left, but they sat their big butts at the #8thSeed position for now. If these guys can hold onto a seat to the dance, I believe that they will be dangerous. Look how far they’ve come this year.

Why did I address this tweet to the Hornets? Because they have disappointed me very much this year. So, I might just become a Lakers fan for the rest of the year. What choice do I have? Also, I do not plan to wait around all off-season just to watch the Pelicans have another sub-par season next year. I do not trust Hornets/Pelicans coach Monty Williams with the family jewels. His decision-making has been very suspect this year. In my opinion he is a lousy son-of-a-beoyonggg.

Thus, I will begin cheering for the dang Lakers in order for me to maintain my sanity. What could be worst? Besides that, if the Pelicans hold onto coach Monty and have another lousy year next year, I believe that it will be years before the Pelicans become truly meaningful in the NBA. I am a N’Awlins boy, but I have to respect how the Lakers slid their tails into a party seat after how their season started off. Remember that both the Lakers and the Brooklyn Nets cut their losses early in the season and hired new coaches. Now, both teams are headed to the playoffs. hahaha >>to the New Orleans HorPelicants.
