Text Monday morning prior to work start unless you are in some critical role that requires him calling in someone not scheduled. In that case, text the second you know you won’t be there.

Obviously doesn’t apply here as you would have a protocol in place.

InB4- call someone to operate the fryer in your absence.

re: Scottsdale recs

I am trying to put together a guys golf / girls pool and spa day trip. Anyone have recs on a good golf course based place to stay with either a nice main pool or a two bedroom condo with pool accommodations?

I am looking for something like Tucson National but in Scottsdale.

I work with a bunch of Brits. When I was over last summer, holidays came up and I asked how they teach the Revolution and War of Independence in grade school. They said “our schools just kind of skip those years of history.” :lol: :lol:

A bunch of lawyers screwing the little guy? GTFO! Who could have seen that coming. Dudes are going to drive away in their Mercedes laughing at the small businesses they fricked into bankruptcy.

sex with the upside-down chick is amazing


PETA has fallen off. 20 years ago they were known for protesting in the nude. It was some weird don’t wear animal skin thing. But some of the chicks were decent Quad worthy.
This is the thread where a bunch of E3’s who did a four year stint opine on a General.
Fact. 99% of the time that someone in the crowd is hit by a thrown bottle or Yeti cup it’s actually an object that the dumb arse rider set on the edge of the float and it fell off. I have seen it happen multiple times and people default to “it was thrown at me!!!”

Newsflash. No one is throwing a $40 Yeti cup at you.

That being said, I lobbied our float builder to put quarter round mounding along the float rails so dumb arse riders can’t set stuff on that edge. They resisted due to cost.

Almost anyplace else and you are asking for trouble.


This is the best post in this thread and I haven’t even read P. 2. These stupid fricks do this in Plaquemine and don’t expect push back? Stick to Spanish Town.

This is yet another example of Progressives pushing their agenda on others. I give zero fricks who you sleep with or anything else. But don’t demand that everyone has to accept your beliefs with zero comment.
He’s probably on a 12 month salary plan and they have to pay out per Union Contract until he is officially terminated. Which, per the same contract, is probably hard to do with him “missing.”

A real journalist would have gotten a comment / explanation from the School Board. But that wouldn’t be as dramatic as this.

Punching is fine. But pepper spraying someone in your own car? I guarantee no one was driving that car after doing that. OC spray contaminates everything. I don’t think I have ever heard of using that stuff inside a police car.

I hadn’t seen it either. I got murdered in the downvotes so I guess I have learned my lesson.
Waiting to see just how blown out of proportion this gets.

Well shite.

Searched Cannon and Pardon and got nothing.

Trump pardons Billy Cannon!

WASHINGTON — The family of the late LSU football legend Billy Cannon didn’t ask for it, but they’re delighted that President Donald Trump pardoned him for his 1980s counterfeiting conviction.

His daughter, Bunnie Cannon, said the White House phone call came out of the blue Thursday night. “My mom and sisters and brother were ecstatic,” Cannon said. Her mother and four siblings were aware that some friends had reached out to the White House, she said, but the family had never asked for a pardon.

“We never thought it would ever come to fruition. So, none of us pursued it," said Bunnie Cannon, acting as the family's spokesperson. “I just think he would be thrilled that he got this clemency because in his mind and in our mind, people saw him beyond the counterfeiting.”

Once the official certificate arrives, Cannon said, she’ll have it framed for her mother, Dorothy “Dot” Dupuy Cannon, who had been by Billy’s side since both attended Baton Rouge’s Istrouma High School in the mid-1950s. They married while both were freshmen attending LSU.


Not Poli Board but someone will make this about Trump. Can we keep this about Cannon and LSU?

Agreed. I would guess a fair amount of car sales are snap decisions. Making people sit and think about it will hurt sales.

Tell me more. I was just getting ready to pull the trigger on a Marathon after seeing a new model they displayed at SHOT. But not if they are a problem. I was under the impression they had a pretty good reputation.

It is a lot less than you probably think. $500, maybe less.


I know Northshore parades pay high school bands $3500-3750.

Walking groups get between $750-2000.

People WAY underestimate what it costs to put on one of these parades. Even the smaller Krewe's are million dollar events. Something like a major NOLA Krewe is multi millions.
My grandma was in an assisted living place before she died. She was quite the gossip and kept me up on all the goings on. The big news around there one summer was one of her neighbors (80+ guy with Alzheimer’s) got out of an open door in the “memory unit” and disappeared one afternoon. They ended up calling the guys family and they showed up and were raising hell when the dude pulled up in a brand new fire engine red Cadillac.

He climbed out and proudly announced he had always wanted one and now he had it. Turned out the guy walked almost five miles to a dealership, went in and bought the car with a check. The family took the keys away but the facility let them park it on the side of the building where he could see it from his room. Every time I would go by to visit Grandma I would see him and he would ask if I had seen his car yet.
True story. Nolan Ryan purchased the bank in his hometown to stop them from foreclosing on a bunch of landowners.

re: Reserving Parking at MSY

Posted by jbgleason on 2/10/26 at 11:14 am to
I think there was something lost in translation here.

The website requires that you MAKE YOUR RESERVATION a full 24 hours before you plan to park.

In other words, if you plan to pull into the garage on Monday at 9:00am. You have to get on the website and make the reservation prior to Sunday at 8:59am.

NOT RESERVE THE SPACE FOR SUNDAY but make the reservation on Sunday to pull in at 9:00 Monday morning. If you get on the website 23 hours in advance, it won't let you make the reservation.

Heck, I am confusing myself writing this out. Make you reservation in advance but not reserve the spot prior to your arrival.
