from the "It Can Only Happen in New Orleans" dept...

I allowed myself to be talked into joining a dart league and last night was the first match. We were to meet at Wit's Inn at 6PM, and I was there with bells on. Much to my surprise, no one else on the team was there. I figured I was early, and didn't become alarmed until I realized that there was a group of people there for a meeting.
The speaker stood up and introduced himself, and proceeded to describe his creditials to the captive audience. Had his master...worked with adolescents and other people with suicidal tendencies. His talk was on the subject of suicide and bi-polar issues.
Now, I'm thinking, why the fuck would my friend send me to a bar to play darts if these loonies were going to be there...
I summoned the bartender and confirmed that there was in fact darts, and she confirmed. She then went on to explain to me *EXACTLY* what was going on...and here's where it falls in the "only in new orleans" zone.
The group, she explains, is a church group that meets at the bar once a month. "A CHURCH GROUP!!!" WTF!!!
Let's summarize; A Church Group, hanging out in a bar, talking about suicide and bi-polar issues, over A FEW BEERS!!!!!
All I have to say is; "WHERE THE FUCK WHERE THEY WHEN I WAS YOUNG AND EASILY INFLUENCED?"
Have a BEER with Jesus!
