LMAO.  Steve... have you been drinking Muscatel again?  You know that scheiße 
makes you hallucinate!

PS - Whatever you do, don't try to squirt mustard on one of those crazy Cajuns.

Cee

        LSU fans smell just like corn dogs.

        Yes, it is often said, but so, so true. 

        LSU fans do smell like corn dogs.

        I would never tell them that to their face though. This is something 
better said at internet distances. Even now, I am afraid.

        I am afraid that they'll know I said it. I'll walk past an LSU fan 
someday, and he'll see that look in my eye that gives it away. That look that 
says, "gee, what is that smell? Is it corn dogs?" The next thing you know, I'll 
have flat tires on my car.

        If you only learn one thing from me today, remember not to tell LSU 
fans how they smell - you know, like corn dogs.

        LSU fans seem, somehow, sensitive to that whole corn dog issue.
        I think this may be why a lot of fans get beaten up by LSU fans. If you 
attend a game in Baton Rouge, try to avoid telling them that they smell like 
corn dogs. Say something else instead. Like, "Wow, LSU sure does have a great 
team this year. This is going to be a great SEC game."

        It's hard. I know. It's like when you're having sex and you try to 
think about baseball. That corn dog smell is just so overwhelming. It makes it 
hard for you to think about football or baseball or whatever else. Your brain 
wanders into corn dog topics like: "Gee, I wonder if I took a bite of your 
finger, if you would taste just like a corn dog?"; or "Is this a real person or 
is it a giant corn dog trying to make me think it is a real person?" or "What 
did that giant corn dog just say?" or "Excuse me, Mister, why is it that you 
smell just exactly like corn dogs smell?" or, of course, after a silencer: 
"Madam, did you just let the corn dogs out?"

        Heck, after what I've heard about LSU fans, I think it may be better 
not to smell them at all. Okay, not all of them. Some of them are nice. Sure. 
Smell the nice ones. That's okay.

        You know what else is a bad thing to do? Holding your nose around them. 
They are real sensitive to that, too. Try holding your breath. But don't be 
obvious about it. Somehow they know you're trying not to breathe in the corn 
dog smell. And that offends them. They'll likely punch you for that if they 
catch on to what you're doing.

        If you do breathe it in long enough, though, it'll permeate your whole 
body, and then you'll smell like a corn dog just like they do. But don't say, 
"Dang, now I smell like a corn dog." They take offense to that. And they will 
throw things. But not corn dogs. Hard stuff. Stuff that leaves bruises and 
makes you bleed. Then you may have to get stitches or something. Just don't say 
it. If you do start smelling like a corn dog, just shut up about it. Okay?

        I think kids are acutely aware of corn dog smells too. Counsel your 
kids on how to behave around LSU fans. If LSU fans are driving around town, do 
not let your kids stick their heads out of your car window and sniff the air. 
No. Keep your windows rolled up. An odd change in their expression - indicating 
they smell corn dogs - might get a wrench or pipe or some other object tossed 
at your windshield. So, that's 
        dangerous. Let your kids stick their heads out of the car windows as 
you drive - on some other weekend

        I know you are just as puzzled as I am about some of this corn dog 
stuff. What puzzles me most is that I've never actually seen any of these LSU 
fans with a corn dog in their hand. Okay, maybe there's no mystery there - 
maybe they already ate the corn dogs. Who knows? 

        Maybe there's a corn dog factory in Baton Rouge and they all work 
there. Maybe, there's a corn dog lotion that they wear, or a French perfume. 
Maybe their city council puts corn dog juice in the water supply - kind of like 
fluoride. The politics there are probably weird. The big political issue during 
the city election is whether they should add more ketchup or more mustard to 
the water. Don't comment on it though. It's not politically correct over there. 
It's like a malnutrition issue or something. It's like the corn dogs are 
probably added to the water to prevent starvation or something.

        I know when you go to Baton Rouge, you're thinking: "Ahhhh. Here I am 
in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I'll bet the people here smell just like boiled 
crawfish or shrimp etoufee' or some fancy Cajun food." But just stop thinking 
that. That's just a myth. They smell just like corn dogs.

        In fact, please listen to my advice. Leave them alone about the corn 
dog odor. And don't try masking the odor with something stronger. They'll curse 
at you. They'll say something like: "WTF, how dare you smoke a cigar in my 
home," or "WTF!! Are you too good for the smell of corn dogs?" and they'll cuss 
out your kids too: "WTF!!! Little Mister fancy pants over here acts like he 
doesn't want to smell like corn dogs."

        Cajuns are not like us. Don't you see that, yet? They are really 
sensitive about being sniffed and about their corn dog aroma. They know they 
smell like corn dogs and it is no laughing matter to them at all. I know, I 
know. We sniff the bammers and the UGA dawgs and the Ole messes, and we keep a 
straight face with each of them, but don't press your luck with the Cajun tiger 
fans. Don't refer to Death Valley as corn dog valley either. I mean that's just 
wrong. Even if you've been drinking, they'll beat you up and curse out your 
kids.

        Along these lines, be extra careful when you laugh in their direction - 
even if you're laughing about something else. Like baseball or football, or sex 
or whatever. If you can't control yourself and you must laugh though, do not 
snort. The snorting makes them think that you smell their corn dog body odor 
from a distance or that you're choking on it or something. They'll likely burn 
your van for that. We lost a campus building over just one snort. 

        So, just remember. You can love one another without sniffing each 
other. You can enjoy the clash of a couple of good football teams. You can 
enjoy the thrill of the rivalry. But after the game, please heed my words. 
Please just move along. No sniffing the opposing fans this Saturday. Okay? Get 
your corn dog jollies at home.

        Enough with this corn dog talk. Let's play ball...
