This one time I went to one and none of the guys wanted to go so it was just me and a bunch of hot college chicks. They got drunk and bored and started making out and showing off their naked bodies. I watched on the couch. We lost to Florida.


And then you woke up.

Do you enjoy LSU watch parties?

That time of year, people have parties to watch the LSU games, good food and lots of booze. My wife insists we go, I think this is the only part of football she enjoys, and I hate them.

When I watch an LSU game on TV, I'm locked in, I don't want to talk about gall bladder operations, new grandkids, anniversaries, just football. By definition the parties are men and women, and many of the women are not there to watch a football game.

It's not too bad when the guys are in the den with the game and the women in the kitchen drinking wine, but I really like watching by myself with maybe another equally focused guy.

Never do this. I tried, when I got home I had a sticky mess of LB's smashed over the front. Took a lot of bug & tar remover to clean.
I can't think of many things that are more suicidal than going around the N.O. area with the name and t-shirts "Bulletproof".
I have a great idea, seriously, sell it as a site for a data center. They will pay to tear it down, then NO can tax the hell out of them, then they'll be enough money to fix every pothole and fix the drainage system.

Until the politicians steal it all.
How is this political? I got rid of all my plastic cutting boards, I can easily see how plastic can get into food if you're scraping up bits in prep. It doesn't take a genius. I have never heated food up in the microwave in plastics. I store cold food only in plastic, the rest goes in glass.

No styrofoam coffee cups, ever.
We've been married 56 years, my answer is, I have no idea. One day she will chop up a large cottonmouth with a hoe, the next day she wants me to open a can of soda for her because the sound is scary.

Go figure.

I was there when he won the N.O. Open in 1971.
Fly something into it, a big drone would do.
This building was Sam Recile's last erection.
Momma looks like she belongs more in the Grand Tetons.
My parents were both in their mid-teens in 1929, so I heard a lot of depression era stories. My mother's family owned a grocery store in in NO, she told me about all the people her dad gave credit, so they didn't go without, especially the Italian community. Of course, immigrant communities had a deep bind, they were from Sicily, as were most of the Italians in NO.

They had a large Italian contingent in north Mississippi, centered around Clarksdale, a lot of Chinese there also. My mother usually spent her summers there picking cotton to help out. A lot of people lost their farms, she said the WPA provided jobs, but not enough. The stories of the dust storms from Oklahoma were harrowing.

My father was from a French family in NO, not Cajun, they immigrated from Marseilles in 1788, his father was a trade emissary to France. I don't think the Depression had a great effect on them. But, one time I threw out a half glass of orange juice and I heard about how much they would have loved to have had that in the Depression, for weeks. I think I was the son that "threw away liquid gold" for a long time.
Not unless I had a video game M4. Never jams, don't have to pause before reloading. Still a long shot.
If you ask a lawyer a simple question, remember, they get paid by the word.
We didn't tell teenagers their bedtimes, HS is time for them to be responsible for that decision. They were rarely late, so I guess that worked. My daughter was an excellent student, she always went to sleep right after dinner, woke up about 3am, did her homework and studying until the school bus came. The said is she was up after dinner, she'd waste time on the phone with her friends.
We had two tools in the house, a butter knife for a screwdriver and a hammer. My grandfathers died before I was born. I did have a very nice uncle who showed me how to cuss at an Evinrude outboard until it started.

I have no idea who I inherited my woodworking and small engine repair skills from, maybe the milkman.
