"Peggy, we have got to get rid of these people NOW! I know they're hurting, but if one more crawfish wriggles into my bed, so help me, I'll... I'll..."

"You'll what, Hank? Where is your compassion? Where is your hu-man-i-ty?? Ohhhhhhhhh!"

"Can we go to Mardi Gras next year, Dad? I want to show my tits!"

"That boy ain't right..."

1. LOL
Well if you go on the hypothesis that Garland = Arlen, then at least 1 evacuee will be playing football at Garland High this fall. :rofl: I found this news story extremely funny for some reason.

Madison High's influx of Hurricane Katrina evacuees includes 22 boys who indicated a desire to play football.

(snip)

The football players are part of a group of 50 hurricane evacuees who were placed at Madison by the Dallas ISD. They are staying at Reunion Arena and the Dallas Convention Center.

More high schools
"I can take all the stresses I've had out on the football field," said Urian Duncan, a sophomore who played tight end at New Orleans McDonogh No. 35. "All the problems I've been going through, I have somewhere to lay it all out now.

(snip)
Carrollton Ranchview added four football players, three of whom will play on the freshman team and one of whom will play on the varsity. Jesuit is taking transfers from New Orleans Jesuit, including at least four football players. A pair of football-playing twins enrolled at Plano East. Hillcrest, North Garland, Frisco Centennial and Carrollton Newman Smith also have two evacuees who plan to play football. Midlothian and Frisco each have one.
