HUH!
I really don't care now. The NO I loved is only a memory. I left for a better place and only go back for a concert or a football game. I get in and out. I don't eat or drink there. Move the Smoothie King center and the dome out and I have no reason to go back.

This part grinds my gears the most. You gonna spend that money and not keep it local in a city where you can hit some artsy time by just throwing a rock in a general direction.

Keep the money local. frick.

We are just laughing at the fall of New Orleans. It's like calling the end of a M Night Shymalan movie these days. Too obvious.

Oh, I agree 100%. It deconstructs Whiteness and colonialism and all that other shite, and shows exactly how hideous the alternative is- you fricking degenerate savages.

It’s a melon baller with the body of a woman-ish wrapped in a shop vac hose with a garden sprayer on the end.

That was my first thought as well. Maybe the Spork character.

A naked woman getting snaked. Perfect for New Orleans.


Looking at it that way, it’s a pretty good statue

Why the hell couldn't they get someone from New Orleans to sculpt something? I guess no one knows New Orleans culture like someone from New York

So many jimmies rustled on the OT every day. It’s delightful.
half the posters in here sky screaming with rage probably haven’t drove past Lee circle in the 5 years he’s been removed. They probably would have never noticed hadn’t it been for the skyscreaming session when Mitch removed it

I wish the Gulf of Mexico would swallow that place for good. I really pray for its demise.
