It's time for Vanna to hang it up.


Vanna ages like a good Bordeaux.

Well you’re pretty much renting for 50 years.

Modern Louisiana - living in a $60k trailer but driving a $90k truck with $1200 note. This is the way.


Roll all that up in the new 50 year mortgage and that $1200.00 turns to $600.00
It’s not soulless — it’s human.
You can love someone deeply and still accept that the shape of that love has changed. Care, commitment, and compassion don’t all have to look like marriage. She didn’t abandon him; she rebuilt around grief.

If I bought a new house with one now, I would pay it off when I’m 110. Ha! Joke’s on the bank. No way I live that long. Suckers!


The bank will make their money whether you live to be 110 or drop dead the day after you sign the mortgage.

A fifty year mortgage is a banks dream.

finished dinner last night and was too lazy to separate into smaller portions to freeze or chill.. Put entire pot (after cooling a bit) into fridge

I've done this eleventy hundred times. Never died


I’ve left it on the counter overnight and had it for breakfast.

I’ve probably left it in the truck overnight before and ate it. I’ve done that with pizza a few times.

And a ham sandwich with mayonnaise sitting on the dashboard until noon is just Gods microwave for a good lunch.

Sounds like quite the struggle, but thankfully for us northerners you knuckle dragging, mouth-breathing, sister fricking,neanderthals all keep your asses down there. As a native born and raised southerner I was certainly one of the lucky ones to finally escape that cult of worshiped mediocrity. Hmmm...mediocrity is probably a bit too generous, but I'll stick with it to end on a little flattery so not to come across as overly contemptuous.


That’s a lot of big words for someone who probably still says “y’all “ when they’re drunk. Leaving the South didn’t make you enlightened just more insufferable in a different area code.
That’s exactly how I felt when I opened the Waffle House Prairieville thread.

Seems to me they need better intelligence before kicking in some innocent people’s door.

not exactly how it happened.

from the link, if you read it:

quote:The footage goes on to show officers walking to the back of the property and shining lights in windows before entering through an unlocked back door.


Ah yes. They politely entered through an unlocked door before realizing the wrong house. Who needs a warrant when they have an unlocked door and a flashlight.

My door gets kicked in or someone walks through it unlocked I can positively say there will be shot up dead bodies. A very good chance I would be one of them but it would be more than just me that I can assure.

Which is why you don’t go walking around in unsuspecting people’s homes.

I don't understand why they so often dig in and just say "Oh well" rather than admitting their mistake and paying for the property damage they cause. Instead, they try to blame the victim and force them to sue the department and city to make things right.


I don’t understand why they so often make these kinds of mistakes.

Seems to me they need better intelligence before kicking in some innocent people’s door. And this shite happens daily across the country.

And they wonder why they aren’t particularly liked.

fricking Emeril’s


Found the guy who has never been to Emerils.

What a dumbass.
It would take him 4 years to bring this program back.

I’m not sold he’s even looking with NIL and transfer portal in play now.
Yep.

Well and announcing ticket and parking price increases a week before getting your arse handed to you in a basket doesn’t help much either.

Traffic is traffic and there is only so many ways in and out of campus and honestly it’s not terribly different from 30 years ago. That’s not my really going to change much.

But allowing more parking back onto campus would help with sentiment at least. I used to pull in and back up over the curb at the Greek Theater or if I came in Highland just back up on a curb at the Cow Palace. Free.

Whit & Perk have been trending down versus up in there last 2-3games they played! Perk is invisible and no effort


What happened to Perkins really. I mean he went from geek status to freak status to no status.

I just don’t know why he absolutely fell off the face of the planet. Amazing crash.

Every 5 years there should be a reshuffling of season tickets.

Well this is just a dumb idea and an easy way to lose fans.


Since I have 8 that have been in the family since 1949 I would agree.

But on top of all of this. I think what killed the atmosphere and pushed the past “real” fans out, is the piped in music. Not allowing the crowd to what we do.

Combination of toxic attitudes and tech/piped in music pushing out our history.


This is a big factor.

And not wearing gold pants, white jerseys, gold helmet.

Place and team is just like any other team across the country.
