You, yes YOU, are going straight to hell....



Place: Bourboun Street, NO
Date: Friday before Fat Tuesday - biggest weekend of the carnival celebration

My conversation with a religious fanatic:
J. Freak: You are all going to hell, God hates Mardi Gras and he is all knowing
Me: Prove it....
J. Freak: In the Bible, Jesus says.....
Me (cutting him off mid sentence): Yea, I can write novels too...I asked for proof
J. Freak: look of frustration, anger and dismay, huffs and turns away

At this point we decided to continue the argument and literally make this guy so mad he wanted to beat us to a pulp but couldn't because his ambiguously homosexual friend was documenting the whole scene on camera while simultaneously supporting the idea that Homosexuals are all going to hell. In fact he let us know we are all going to hell for the various reasons you see on his very informative yet ignorant sign you see me in front of. My favorite...Sports Nut. You heard it people, if you love sports you are going to hell....how do I know? because the guy holding the sign who admitted he had barely graduated high school and could not read or write well told us so.
