anna was born i l.a. and began her career at age four. between the years of 1919-1961 she made a total of 55 movies. though popular and extremely special, she never was given a starring role. even worse, her characters always perished. she stated that her tombstone ought to read: 'she died a thousand times.' much had changed in hollywood since her hey day which was at a time when california law forbid...
It was a spectacular year. Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints. I wasn't being a "homer" when I predicted on September 2nd that the Saints would go 16-0 and make their first of 4 straight Super Bowl trips this year. Micky Loomis and Sean Payton were given the opportunity by Tom Benson and successfully assembled a great team; a team that understands and is part of New Orleans. Drew Brees...
Back in 1983, two New Orleans musicians, Carlo Nuccio and Steve Monistere conspired to make a Saints' rally song based around a chant they heard a local high school marching band doing, "Who dat? Who dat? Who dat say they gonna beat them Saints?" They wrote it using the music of the traditional jazz standard, "When The Saints Go Marching In", which conveniently is Public Domain,...
The NFL sent out cease and desist letters asserting ownership by the Saints of, among other trademarks, Who Dat. So these terms that float in the ether: who owns dem?
1. I am thinking coffee. 2. With the coffee there will be chocolate and some type of buttery, fluffy pastry in which there may also be chocolate. 3. The woman on the other side of the room eating something vaguely similar to the abovementioned #2 has a mole on her face larger than Mr. Aaron Neville's facial mole, only I believe she shaves or electrolizes or waxes or singes or whatever it is that is...
Even before the Chicago Bears recorded their now-famous 'Super Bowl Shuffle,' the New Orleans Saints had an anthem of their own. Of course, the 1983 Saints, who went 8-8 on the season, didn't fare as well as the 1985 Super Bowl champion Bears, so 'Who Dat?' never made it out of the huddle. But now that the 2009 Saints are headed for the biggest NFL game, the club has an updated anthem -- and native...
It’s hardly news that the New Orleans’ Saints are going to the Super Bowl , and their ecstatic fans are busy buying up T-shirts and other paraphernalia emblazoned with the Saints’ rallying cry, “Who Dat.” That slogan is from their widely…

A federal court may have to decide who owns the “who dat” phrase in footnote. The NFL, which has a reputation of claiming a wide array of trademark rights against fans, has sent letters to various companies and fans telling them not to use the phrase “who dat” in combination with the Saints’ fleur-de-lis [...]
Lil Hap and I went to the Louisiana Sacredome last night to catch the MONSTER TRUCK experience. First, it was awesome in scope, noise level, and New Orleanity . Sure trucks bounced all around. Motorcycles jumped and did flips. For Lil Hap's first trip to the Sacredome he got to see it almost FULL! He really thought that the SAINTS would be driving some of the trucks, too! The MONSTER TRUCK THAT WON...

Who Dat? The phrase is as New Orleans as gumbo, jambalaya, and cafe au lait. According to the Wikipedia entry, the phrase “Who Dat'” has been around since the vaudeville acts of the late 1800’s and was a common phrase in jazz and blues music in the 1920’s. In the 1980’s, “Who Dat” became popularized as part [...]
NewOrleans.com: As the Saints march toward the Super Bowl, there's a chill in the midst of the Who Dat Nation. The National Football League has issued cease and desist orders to various local merchants, including infractions as small as a fleur de lis in the middle of the "o" in #whodat. When you're covering something this important to the city, you go to the source. As far as trademarks...

Who Dat?! Congratulations to the Saints and the city of New Orleans, who are headed for a Super Bowl fraught with karmic implications. Someone in the French Quarter had better put voodoo on native son Peyton Manning the way they did the Vikings, whose six fumbles and losing the overtime coin flip seemed like divine intervention.
