Post here. I am ashamed to see so many of you abandon ship.


I quit on them every time they lose. Then I'm back in my Seats in Left Field for the inevitable win streak to begin. :lol:
I grew up in this neighborhood where Dunham's football/soccer field is now. Those lights light up the whole neighborhood when they have football games or soccer matches. I was a kid when the woods were cleared there and the football field built for Calvary Heights School. I don't recall anyone complaining back then up til 2024 when we sold my mom's house down the street(you can see the lights from her front yard).
It never seemed to be an issue. :dunno:

Seeing this as a new trend. Local bar/icehouse pops up with a big outdoor area including a kids playground and kid activities. WTF?

Zippys has always promoted this atmosphere and it's been a damned good thing. :thup:

Screw you. OD kicked arse. Wife and I left after OD finished their set. I wish they would’ve played another hour. Hit after hit after hit. Didn’t know who Cody whatever his name was and didn’t care. Rodeo was fun to watch and OD was great.



Y'all are both tards. Saturday night was outstanding. Old Dominion was great and Cody Johnson has one of the most powerful live country music voices around right now. :thup:

I went Friday as well. Skynyrd is damned good live. Regardless of who's in the band now the musicians were flat-out AMAZING.

Was a great event and it should have been more packed for the value you got for a $100 ticket(lower bowl) and $30-50 for upper.

And seeing Neal Mccoy and Montgomery Gentry for FREE at the Street Fest before the doors opened was lagniappe.

re: Photography cameras

Does anyone on here do photography for a living or hobby? I’ve always been interested getting into it as a hobby and maybe a side hustle. The area I am real interested in is landscape/scenic photography. I already take a ton of pictures using my iPhone but there is only so much you can do with a phone. I want to get me a camera but don’t know what would be a good beginner camera. Right now, my budget is $1000. Any recommendations on cameras?


I'm what you call a "prosumer" having digital cameras for over 25 years now due to having 4 kids ages 23-17. I've taken over 200k pics of them little goobers over the years.

My current camera is this right here. I have a zoom lens for it that works perfectly for anything from dance recitals to track meets(used it yesterday up at Silliman).

It's whats called a Mirrorless DSLR. Smaller than full frame "pro" cameras but far better than a point-and-shoot Digital camera.

He was a lot better than this Woody douche show they have on in morning drive! 4 or 5 cackling hens not saying anything funny. I listened to them on 92.3 and never looked back :).

I like Richard. His schtick has made me laugh a bunch over the years. And alot of people may not realize he's quite knowledgeable about basketball and is a huge LSU basketball fan.
I'm not an actual friend of his or anything but he knows who I am when we cross paths at Benny's. And he's messaged me in appreciation for going to bat for him on Twitter in the past.

Hope he's doing well

All within a 90 second walk.
Holy run on sentence.


Bingo. I'm a a BR native and huge supporter of the my home town.
But I just moved back here after 7 years away and I can't safely jog or ride my bike from Corporate Blvd to the Overpass or anywhere across I-10.

We desperately need safe sidewalks and bike paths EVERYWHERE.

I was coming say you have represented plenty of these guilty mfers. :lol:

Until they finally fixed it, somewhat, if you ever crossed Florida from Oneal to get on the Thruway, while doing the speed limit, you would go airborne, or possibly disengage your front axel.


I drove through both of these intersections mentioned and y'all are both right.

Downright dangerous for your vehicle and safety driving through those at the speed limit.

I thought it was assumed this was a life long drug.

Not for everyone. My situation is kind of different as I didn't even want to take the shot. :lol:
But I used it for 6 months to get back into running shape.

Been off it for 2 months now and have lost 8 more lbs because I'm training for 5ks again and lifting 4 days a week.

I can, however, see exactly how it happens. You do get that appetite back within a couple of weeks.
I am hungry all the time now especially with the training.
But I continue to track calories with My Fitness Pal and stay well under 2500cal a day with minimal carbs. While on the shot and not training(i was walking and lifting only) I would stay under 2000 cal a day.

Down 107 lbs now(lost 25 on my own Since 2022, and 80 since July 1, 2025) and will never return anywhere close to that baseline weight. Book mark this and check back in 1.5 years.

That's Gabriela Juárez. That trans student who was arrested during the LSU Presidential Search.

An LSU student arrested last week for protesting at a presidential search committee meeting said police became hostile toward her once they learned she is transgender. The questionable treatment she alleges continued once she was taken to jail, where she said guards didn’t know where she should be kept.

I'm no fan of Ryan Clark's talk-show/podcast banter but he came in to host this event for a great cause. He wasn't the expert but more of a host that fed questions to the panel of experts and guests speakers. I was impressed with how well he did and how he related to the kids(the event is geared towards teen suicide prevention).






They had it on at campus Walk-Ons and Zippys and it looked really good. Nice picture and angles compared what I remember in last couple of tournaments. Granted we were at least 10' from 50“ TVs. I wouldn't expect it to look great in your living room on 65" or more screen
