If they're not doing anything secretive then why the NDAs? Conversations can't happen when one side can't legally answer questions.

It's a Chinese psy op


It's a Chinese psy op for Meta, etc., to require NDAs from elected officials so they can't answer questions from the locals?

That's such a BS talking point.
Hobbies are great but take care that they don't just become distractions from yourself.

Is there a decent local coffee shop?


There are a few! Tamp & Grind's downtown, and Caffeinated Brew & Fizz in Pville, Le Bistreaux out 28 West.
Takes like this remind me how far the F&D board, and TD in general, has fallen.
How much time do you think that you spend a week thinking about the gay community in Europe or in the US?
Perhaps you'll be lucky enough to have one installed right next door to your house.

re: Phil's Oyster Bar

A group of us from work go there for lunch frequently and it's mostly very good. They make their own fried pickles, which we always get as they're great. The Eggplant Owen is fantastic, as is the remoulade salad and the catfish poboy. The crawfish cheesecake is very rich but very tasty.

I'm not a fan of the Friday lunch special etoufee as it's with a white sauce, and the chicken and sausage gumbo is good but greasy. Those are personal tastes so ymmv.

Phil's is pretty great. Now I want some fried pickles.
I like their muff -- think it has carrots? It's not NO level but it's def good and a nice change w/o the drive and parking to get one in the big city.

Possibly. Red River acting as a buffer from Lower 3rd (Alexandria ghetto) is better than now with no buffer


I don't think anyone from Alexandria is limiting the ghetto to Lower 3rd these days.
The last assassination attempt left Trump with a remarkably intact ear from the impact of a .223 bullet. In fact it seems like he pulled a WWE move to cut his ear with a razor. So every "assassination" attempt now is suspect at best.

Get to Sweet Joy before noon on Saturday, it's bakery goods and sandwiches but it's pretty good.

Buckets is garb, and has been for me multiple times.

Outlaws can be okay just don't get the sliced brisket as it's beyond well done. It's gray all the way through and dry as Sunday morning in a Baptist church. The chicken, bakers, chopped brisket (you're going to have to add sauce because it's that dry,) sausage and fried onion loaf, along with the baked beans and green beans are probably what they're best at.

Quebedeaux's or however it's spelled is just okay. Wildwood Pizza and Spirits are across the river, although Spirits can be hit and miss according to what you get. The Judge's Choice is usually solid.

If by "lucky" you mean charging $800+ for Chinese suits, sure CenLa is super lucky. What would we do without Jerry Lee.

Just drive to Houston and go to the Brooks Brothers on Westheimer if you want a nice suit.

Maybe to you being gay or straight is a choice you make daily. To the rest of us it isnt. We are attracted to women and the thought of being physically intimate with a guy is offputting.


No, it isn't a choice made daily. It's a temptation like any other. The devil knows what will be most effective on you. It isn't any worse or better than any other sin people indulge in.

Sorry the truth scares you."
I'm good. Insecure Indian racists are past my point of engagement.
