Dear friends,
While I adjust to the novel thrill of writing in our freshly air-conditioned hovel, to say nothing of showering praise and kisses on Lloyd for getting the damn a/c up the stairs, through impassable passageways and into the window, please indulge me in a bit of gloating over the creation of my own little baby meme. Apparently I’m not the only one with a dirty mind and a song to light it up. Goliard at popcultureatemybrain and David at noise to signal, they have something to say. I *love* it when that happens.

Sorry, guys, I jumped the gun on this post. I called it a lagniappe because I was working on a larger post, and so I thought “well, while I’m working on this, I’ll post a little something extra.” Then I ran out of steam on the larger post and deleted it out of a fit of pique. So this is less a lagniappe and more of a tiny little post—although it did enable me to ping Goliard and David, which was my original goal.
But yes, Courtney nailed it. “Lagniappe” is indeed a Louisianan word for “little something extra,” like the samples the sales assistant at Kiehl’s throws into your shopping bag, or in James Carville’s words (hey, if anyone’s gonna know, right?), “the 13th bagel or doughnut.”
Wow. I have *got* to get out more. 
Alicia, while food-related is always enjoyed, it is not necessary. Just suggestive will do nicely.
