The Golden Mummy

This statue is actually called The Golden Fisherman. It was standing right along the beach where everyone who drove into town could see it. Most of the locals hated it and called it The Golden Mummy. When I showed my friend Laura (who posted on the post below as busyizzie) she asked me if all of the locals ran up to the statue and hit it with their shoes like the people did to the fallen statue of Saddam Hussein. I told Brad and we both laughed about that comment for two days. I think I am going to plan a Mardi Gras party at the site of the statue, and tell everyone to bring some flip flops to hold a "Thumping of the statue" ceremony. What a great way to celebrate the end of Katrina and a new beginning for the coast.

Thanks for the laugh Laura.
