It's a sweet article about Mohammed, the hero. Remember him?

So, I read this book the other day called What If?. It was about famous people who died young or before their time and what would happen if they hadn't died.
For instance, Marilyn Monroe ended up disappearing from Hollywood, adopting a daughter and getting old and fat but very happy.
Elvis staged his death, thinking he would go out and live a normal live but didn't realize how hard a normal life is. He had no skills other than music and movies so he had to do manual labor but he was too fat and out of shape. He got tired of life like that so he tried to convince people he really was Elvis but they took him for a crazy impersonator and he ended up slitting his wrists in a cheap hotel, no one ever knowing he was the real thing.
The book included JFK, Kurt Cobain, Anne Frank and many others.
The people who wrote this book think like I do. I often wonder "what if so and so didn't die?". What would it be like?
Anyway, it's a neat idea.

My best friend has invited me over for a crawfish boil tomorrow. I plan to eat til I burst and get stinkin drunk.
For those that don't know what a crawfish boil is...
They use a huge outdoor butane thing and they boil live crawfish in a bunch of spicy spices with corn on the cob, sausages, potatoes, and whatever else they think of to throw in.
They remove it all from the water when it's done and store it in large ice chests and serve it on huge plates with a small shovel.
It's messy, it's spicy and it's DAMN good.
I'm looking forward to the alcohol though. I want to drink myself to Bolivia.
