Gearing Up for the Big Day!

The first LSU game is mere days away, and the Krewe of BATT is gearing up for big fun! The "Ant Patrol" was on the job early Sunday, ensuring their fellow BATTers would have a sting-free experience. Amdro was the poison of choice, and both patrollers have assured me we will be celebrating ant-free! What would we do without our early-rising-spotsaving-antkilling comrades?! The excitement is building as our resident gourmets, Jane and Jim, get the ingredients for our delicious party fare. The menu is as follows:
BREAKFAST:
beignets
LUNCH:
shrimp and oyster poboys
DINNER:
drunk chicken
grilled boudin and italian sausage
cajun eggrolls
*oyster shooters will also be provided for those with strong constitutions*
This is not to be confused with the jello shooters our favorite new member will be providing!
The Krewe of BATT has always prided itself on being open to everyone. Personally, I think the younger men members need to step up and do their part to provide a little eye candy for the women! We need some hot males to counteract the constant state of drooling many of our male BATTers find themselves in. This state, of course, is caused by the constant parade of hotties (or hoochies....you decide!) at the tailgate next door. Any man looking to interview for the hot guy position in our group, see Heather......she will be standing close to the brown likker......guarding it from Marsha!
Many out of town visitors are expected to descend on our tailgate this week. Word on the street is Baby Jack will grace us with his presence! Will he be able to stick to his self-imposed ban on brown likker? Or, will Nick draw him over to the dark side? Only time will tell! What stories will young Jill M have to share with our group about her teaching gig in Houston? Culley and Michelle are also scheduled to make an appearance. Rumor is Michelle and our gourmets may even make the early morning trek with the ant patrol. Brandon and Kristen will also be joining us for the festivities. If you meet them, be sure to speak slowly and use small words...as they are AGGIES!!!!!!!!!! Come one, come all.......come READY TO PARTY!!!!!! GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!

Really Important "Stuff"

The Krewe of B.A.T.T. held their annual "Stuff Party" on Saturday, August 12 at the lovely home of Jim and Jane T. Many BATTers were in attendance. Jane started off the party quickly with her preparation of "Adult Snowballs". Unfortunately, the youngest BATTer and her mother, Robin, were not able to indulge in the debauchery. Next came margaritas on the rocks and exciting conversation. This was interrupted only slightly, when we stopped to enjoy the delicious fajitas that our resident chefs prepared. After many beverages were consumed, and many bellies were filled with Mexican food, the group convened on the veranda to discuss important "stuff". Jim T ran the meeting. Heather M fought valiantly to save her right for "brown likker" and was given victory! Of course, she was forced to take an oath that had her promising never to share said likker with one highly devious Jack Daniels- loving LP employee. BATTers were introduced to the newest members of the krewe, Marie and Joel. Marie instantly cemented her place in the group by volunteering to make the jello shots for each game! LET'S HEAR IT FOR MARIE!!!!!!!!!! The group was also shocked and amazed when they were told the news that Nick would actually bring his decades long sponging lifestyle to a close with an actual paying membership in the krewe. GO NICK!!!!! Jim then informed the BATTers that Jerry M was donating a van. This, of course, was followed by Jim volunteering himself and Joe-Mike to pay for any repairs the van would need. WAY TO GO BIG SPENDERS!!!!!!! Of course, nothing could ever take the place of the rolling limo that is the Suburban. Only Krewe of B.A.T.T. could know someone willing to keep an automobile for NO other reason than to drive to tailgates! After the meeting adjourned, the drinking and merriment continued. The night ended with continual harassment of one Bill M, who made the mistake of trying to tell his fellow BATTers a story about his recent encounter with an Alaskan moose. What type of convertible was that again? It's going to be a great season! GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
