5 Feb 2008: Gung Hay Fat Super Tuesday! (1985)

[RGMike]

I was hoping for the Mardi Gras set, or maybe a Super Tuesday election set, but with that damn "Thru the wall" thing looming for Friday, we may be stuck with an '80s or '90s year.

I was so caught up in Super Tuesday and my work that I had no idea today was Mardi Gras!  Laissez les bon temps roulez!  (Did I get that right?  My conjugation is fuzzy.)

Yep, looks right to me! Aiiiiiieeeeee!

Gotta find some place to get some red beans and rice for lunch today...maybe Neeto's on Stevenson.

Leading into the set we're hearing Beds are Burning, which makes a latter 80s set less likely imo. So maybe we're going 90s today?

Nope -- 85 it is, TFF to start.

It ain't nothin' to me.

I hoped we were all Petty-ed out after the Super Bowl...

Another behind the scenes presidential clip--Dave must've found a whole cache of these things.

"Oh, I don't need a phone?  I thought I'd at least be pretending..."

Yeah, that was kind of creepy.  It made me feel a little funny to think about the president making such a big deal out of a football game.  I think Nixon talking to Buzz Aldrin in space made sense, but congratulating Bill Walsh just seems silly.

"Congrats to Coach Walsh and the 49ers, I've gotta go, I hear Nancy calling!"

VHM "Walk of Life", down in the tunnel, tryin' to make it pay.

Reagan was always pretending to be president.  To this day I wonder which of his inner circle was really his Cheney, his puppeteer.

Well, you've got 2 now. BOS Prince, "Raspberry Beret", 'cause ah's a bit too leisurely.
