Last line of the story - dude sounds exactly like a drug addict.
This is the 3L equivalent of a "which of these three bikini models should I bang" thread

I thought they weren’t going to allow all the tents and place saving this year.

That was last year. This year they threw their hands up and said the nopd lacks the manpower to deal with it - probably related to the new responses to the terrorist attack.

When did the ladders and set ups become such a problem? People are always saying it didn’t used to be like this


were doing that at least 30 years ago

Not like it is now- As with anything else it's an arms race. Similar to the way Tiger Stadium tailgating has changed since I was a kid. Uptown families are extremely competitive in their way

It's one thing to claim the area you're actually standing in or where your chair is. It's something else entirely to put a formation of chairs down and claim a "zone." There's also, imo, a big difference between claiming an area in the back for your food table, etc., and trying to claim a large space right up by the barricade. I tell my kids, just because someone puts a tarp down doesn't mean they own the land.
download this app. set it to lock down the phone for your next 7 hours before you lay down. phone calls and texts will still come through but even that is probably adjustable.

I was mostly lurking before you had to register in 2001/2002. When it became mandatory for posting began I waited a few months before registering.

Same. I was so mad when Chicken announced mandatory registration. "That's the last I'll ever go on that site!" Lasted about 3 weeks I think.

Lots of vegans in this thread getting reeeeal defensive but you can't argue with the cold hard numbers :casty:

Lester is surely going to be furious when he reads that New Orleans’ finest pizza is, in fact, Old Metairie.

Metairie is a top ten American city, of which New Orleans is the best known suburb.

Some will say putting Tower of Pizza at #3 is trolling but he's merely speaking truth to power.

“Ruling is absurd! It not only ignores the law and the facts, it disrespects the broad base of Louisiana citizens who are demanding a level of professionalism in our universities. The judge ignored the facts, the law, and the Constitution—but that is what we have come to expect out of the 19th JDC. I am confident that the 1st circuit or the SC will correct this! I am curious as to whether this Judge would allow this professor to act like that in his court room!”

He's so obviously trying to copy Trump's diction, but falling just short.

Law professors can't possibly be under civil service rules.

re: Are gas logs trashy?

Def. trashy. For anyone complaining about cleaning out ash, chopping wood, etc, that's for the butler and stable boy to handle (no stable boy = trashy fwiw)
we're on hour 16 of stirring red gravy

reports from the field that the meatballs are "not as good as usual"
Down here in New Orleans there's lots of kids out in the streets dodging snowflakes and falling bullets... northshore kids just soft I guess
If you want to know where the power in this parish is you can skip the council meetings or 24th jdc. It's the Dorignac's food court at 8 am on a Sunday where the decisions get made
Based on Dorignac's lines this snowstorm is expected to last 1-3 months and they are preparing accordingly
Tommy and Scoot have both been on the air for fifty years (not all with wwl obviously) and there's no obvious successor in line. Talk about a gerontocracy.

What that tells me is that people under the age of 40 (maybe under 50) don't listen to talk radio. I guess the millennial version of Tommy and Scoot is cum town or red scare.

Never understood the allure of Lakeview. Sure, it's relatively safe from violent crime but it's been been neglected by the city for decades so infrastructure is crumbling and policing is non-existant. Might as well move across the canal to JP where you at least have functional streets, lower utilities and cops who give a shite.

can't put a price on that 70124 zip code baw
The causeway cost 46 million originally, for what it's worth
