I remember coming to LSU and getting on the OT lounge circa 2004-2005 and asking about good mexican food..... I was told to go to El Rio Grande..... the salsa was freakin Pace Picante sauce. I knew i wasnt in New York City anymore.


That’s before we convinced Chicken to make the Food Board.

No smoking in 2026. At Max's right now for a post Luis J. Gomez drink and ordered the cheese burger. It was so good I had to see what Tigerdroppings opinion was...I thought it was DELICIOUS!


Is Max still alive?

My post is 12 years old.

Yes he did. He loved Pokie and Vita too. They let him help make the meatballs. They knew each other from like elementary school.

I met them through him and I would listen to the three of them go after it and it was like watching the best live comedy show ever.

Whip was one of my best friends and now he, Pokie and Vita are getting loud together.

Good memories of eating meatballs. It was like dinner and a show.

I had that or brides cake or one of those and almost ate the whole half gallon.

I’m currently locked into the peach cobbler concrete at Andy’s until it’s pulled from the summer menu

I have a number of Pokie stories. For years we would meet there on Fridays.


Did you know Whipper?
Funny how all of you support drinking and driving.

See how you feel when one plows into your family and swears they only had 4 drinks and a heavy meal in several hours.

You are assuming Germany and the Nazis don’t have this same intelligence and arsenal.

German engineers are still German engineers.

And actually right now Germany has a strong military.

Now the one in the region currently that would dominate anyone around including Russia is Poland. There military is strong, well equipped and fricking tough. They also have had 75 years to build one of the best intelligence agencies on the globe.

They remember what the east and the west did to them and I doubt that would happen again.

But that’s off the topic
Should have held the pizza under the foot since that fungus was shredding like Parmesan.

Did she stab the lady with the fork and kill her in Foot Fungus II ?

Hope it progresses to fill with puss and that gets filmed draining it.

Says a guy named... quote:Martini


That’s correct. It’s speaking from experience as to knowing what four drinks feels like even if the bartender is diligently measuring his pours and I polish off that heavy meal as implied above.

How do we know it is four? How do we know he doesn’t do this weekly or more than weekly and what’s to stop at four then?

I mean the guy posted that he had four drinks with his fricking bosses and they ALL drive away. Not only does someone have to deal with one impaired driver but multiple. And he feels weird? How about the family of four heading in the opposite direction towards them. Weird? frick.

If he gets on here bragging and wondering if it’s weird that he has multiple drinks and gets in a company rental car and drive 100% this guy does this regularly perhaps in his own vehicle. Like that matters. Is he trying to justify it because his boss doesn’t too? fricking boss needs to go too.

Name does not check out.


Well I’ve been here since 2005 at which time it was fitting until I guess 2011 or 12 and just quit. Just bored with it and tired of being tired.

In 2013 and twice in 2014 friends in 3 separate instances were killed by drunk drivers in the state of Louisiana and one in Texas.

Two of the incidents the drivers gave the standard “I only had a couple of beers.”

That’s a true statement they made. Like a commercial.

In 2026, with all of the ride-share options there is absolutely no excuse to get behind the wheel and drive after drinking. It’s not just irresponsible, it’s fricking criminal.

And I guess I’m glad I don’t live in the
delta. Apparently it’s alive and well and sounds like according to him somewhat encouraged.

The argument he makes regarding 1 ounce pours and heavy meal is a load of horseshite.

I drank for forty fricking years. I’m well aware what 4 drinks does and who’s to say it stopped at four? Maybe a quick nightcap while we say goodbye again. Maybe stop at a bar on the way to the hotel for another ? I mean what the hell, we’re cooking the expense account anyway.
quote:

My boss had me put our liquor bill on my P-card once and he took care of the food part. He said don’t worry about it because I approve your expense report. He just didn’t want his boss who approves his expense report to see it.


If those stories are meant to show what a great workplace it is, they have the opposite effect. One is about avoiding internal oversight. The other is about treating driving after drinking as normal. That’s not leadership. That’s a culture that rewards poor judgment.

I’m sure your risk managers would love to hear your story.

And that’s the worst part of it. If I was the teacher my Amazon list would have lots of Benadryl to make them sleep and a few rolls of duct tape to keep their fricking mouths shut.

quote:

Always feels weird knowing the big bosses are watching you drive away after 4 drinks. Hey they’ve had the same or more though.


frick the bosses. Why would you or anyone in your group including the bosses even do this on 2026?

And then post about “feeling weird “

You are feeling weird. You’re fricking drunk. And driving. You all should be fired.

Yep. Its sad for the people to be on restrictions for years while the plants are using so much.


Same thing happening in Baton Rouge which has some of the best water in the country. All of the plants sitting literally inside the levee from the Mississippi River instead use water from the aquifers because and I quote someone with Exxon “running the refinery on river water is cost prohibitive.”

Water is the next oil. At least in Louisiana it’s wet. Go out west and see how that Colorado water distribution is working out. That is going to be shite show.
