I had to pull into an empty parking lot last duck season. Luckily it was 5am
Sometimes it hits and you know you have 30 seconds, to pull your pants down and go somewhere uncouth or shite your pants.

re: What’s the worst game you’ve ever seen at Tiger Stadium?
Posted by hghlndk on 7/4/26 at 4:22 am to LSUbacchus
The rescheduled game against Florida, someone gave me 2 tickets. All my friends had excuses so I drove down from Shreveport by myself. Walked into the stadium. Maybe half full, crowd never got into the game. Guice runs the wrong play at the end, we lose. Florida goes nuts like they won the national championship. I was so pissed that walked back out to my truck and drove straight back home.
First list that I read all of, 4 of them by the time I finished 8th grade at St John’s. There was a time that I lived to read, much as kids live to stare at their phones now..
I don’t remember if I was worried or not. Damn some of yall have amazing memories. What I do remember is that my favorite Aunt showed up at my house right before the game started and had it in her mind that I needed to help her redecorate my daughter’s bedrooms. She had new bedding and curtains and some other stuff for my girls.
She got upset when I told her any night but tonight. The national championship is on and LSU is playing!!
Eventually I walked a few houses down to my neighbors and left her alone decorating.
I have a fairly large family and we get together a bare minimum of once a month and all have a meal. 6-20 of us depending,
Heck 30 on real holidays.
She cooled down after a couple of months

That game at Independence stadium may have been my first Lsu game as well. I’m embarrassed to say it, but I’m really not sure. I know I had started watching them on TV regularly by then. My buddy Jonathan and I were students at Lsu-S and he and I started going down to Baton Rouge a couple of times a year and watching games. They would let you in the student section with an Lsu-s student ID. Back then in 94 and 95 students would walk around holding up their paper tickets and sell them for five or $10 apiece.
We would buy a couple and head on in

re: TM7 featured speaker at Indy Bowl kickoff dinner
Posted by hghlndk on 6/29/26 at 6:07 am to In The Know
I would love to meet TM7 in person. Good lord he was incredible to watch. He made 2-3 plays a game that were game changers. Many really good players would make 2-3 plays like that in a season. He was so damn special. I sure wish he would’ve stopped smoking weed or that our compliance department wasn’t so strict. I remember some other schools never having anyone suspended.
Checked my calendar, that’s the first day back school for Loyola upperclassmen.
Hopefully we don’t have football practice that evening, but I would imagine that we do.
Loyola has a great offense again this year. Going to be fun to watch.
Not sure how many of yall keep up with us. Our QB was the 2nd leading passer in the state behind Pop. He was actually ahead of Pop for the first few games of the season.
Last season we had a first round bye going into the playoffs. We had a championship level team.
Then Our QB gets mono and can’t play for the rest of the playoffs. Needless to say the backups weren’t near his level.
He is back for his senior year. Gonna be some fireworks.
I watched Evangel all through the 90’s. The offenses are quite similar.

re: Why do people vote to raise their property taxes?
Posted by hghlndk on 6/28/26 at 11:44 am to Tiger Prawn
I pay 3600 a year on home I paid 350k for and 6500 a year on a warehouse that I paid 150k for. Not sure what entity comes up with the rates or how they figure them. I’ve had enough of them raising taxes as well.
I like Bill, he says a few controversial things but he is way more center than the average democrat and he calls democrats out all the time. I refuse to watch the news and I don’t watch literally any of the people that everyone complains about here. Candace, Tucker, the view, any of the late night talk shows as they call them. But I will occasionally watch Bill. He at least listens to alternate points of view.
I have Democrat friends and family that you cannot discuss politics with or it ends in hurt feelings:
I could go to dinner with Bill, have a civil discussion. Agree on some things, disagree on others. And walk away with a mutual respect.

re: Who's the smartest politician from Louisiana you've ever met?
Posted by hghlndk on 6/26/26 at 11:46 am to FlyingTigerBo
My grandfather was a state senator for 2 terms in the 50’s. Not saying he was the smartest, but I have an interesting story. He obtained his law degree. Then World War II broke out. So he went and served and when he got back and needed employment, apparently it was illegal for attorneys to advertise so he ran for political office to get his name in the paper and hopefully drum up some business. Local attorney and WW II veteran looked good in the paper. Well, he ended up winning.
He told his children that he quit politics because it was no place for an honest man. He said that on voting days he watched brown envelopes of cash being passed under the table from person to person countless times. He jokingly said that you couldn’t get $100 bill at a bank in Baton Rouge on voting days because the politicians had cleaned them all out..

I worked out hard for a couple of years starting about 8 years ago When I was 47 Never lifted in my life before. No high school sports
Eventually tore up my shoulders. Recovering from my 4th surgery now. (Sickening feeling when ur pushing up a rep and you feel something pop in your shoulder and the bar comes down on you)
My original goal was to bench 225 3 sets of 10 and do pull ups 3 sets of 10. I thought If it get there, I will be amazingly fit. Seems like it took a year or 18 months to reach my goal.
Then of course I kept increasing weight until I reached my PR of 315 for 3 reps.
A lot of guys at the gym did those short reps intentionally. It makes your chest burn more.
Undoubtably less than 1 in a 100 American men can do 44-135.Go try it , Do 24 half reps and then lock it out for 20 reps.

I put all mine on the back window of my truck in a row Eventually they deteriorate. In hindsight, a collection would have been a great idea. Seems like they alway send at least 2

A little surprised to read this about that area. Not much out that way except for woods. Taylortown is just a blip. Haughton is a decent sized town. Lots of military people and country boys, but the area is growing. Even more now that they opened that back entrance from Haughton to Barksdale Air Force Base.
Sounds more like what you expect in down town Shreveport at 2am on a Friday or Saturday.
Sadly, I remember when downtown Shreveport was safe and fun on the weekends.

re: Official US/Israel vs Iran war thread
Posted by hghlndk on 6/5/26 at 4:19 am to omegaman66
Some in the media did say that. I remember the beginning of the war, when a couple of guys being interviewed were showing satellite images of trains and caravans of trucks leaving Iraq and going into Syria. They said they are moving the WMD’s right in front of us and hiding them in Syria.
Then all of a sudden, we didn’t see those guys being interviewed anymore. Then after the war everyone ran with no WMD.
Hoax hoax hoax
I certainly don’t claim to be an expert or know the truth, but I’m 100% sure of my recollection of those interviews

Club seats have been available every year. They are ( I’m going off a foggy memory) about 50% more than what my tickets in 106 cost and they require a multi year commitment. That’s just too far away from the action for me. Maybe I would fall in love if I tried it. A few of my friends rave about the food and A/C.
I like being near the students and the band and contributing to the noise.

re: How much money do I have to donate to get in position for football and baseball tickets?
Posted by hghlndk on 6/3/26 at 4:54 am to Red Stick Tigress
I was up to 1075 philanthropic ranking last time I looked
Joined the Oaks to the tune of 5k a year and tried to make another 5k per year donation since 2019. Plus buying the tickets and paying the fee associated with them.
So yep, either write a check for 50-100k or do it the methodical way like I did. I spent 3 years in the south end zone 1 year east side and now 4 years west side Section 106. I’ve slowly moved away from the concrete barrier, closer to the end of the aisle and down a few rows, I think I’m on row 40 now, with 4 seats in a row.
I have some bad news on the really good seats. I put my name on the list to upgrade every year. Hasn’t been anywhere better to move in 3 years. (Unless you’ll take the sunny east side)
Well, there were 2 sets of 4 between the 40’s
One on the 2nd row and One on the 3rd row.
I made the mistake of buying tickets online down there one time years ago when I came in town for a game and it’s really cool being able to see the players and interact but you can only see about half the game
Personally, I wouldn’t buy below row 20

re: Secret Service investigating after a Michigan nurse said she would slit Trump’s throat
Posted by hghlndk on 6/2/26 at 5:57 am to Major Dutch Schaefer
I’ve known a guy for about 35 years who has turned into a bit of a conspiracy theorist. He believes all the Q stuff and listens to lots of inflammatory stuff on the radio: Did anyway.
Back around the time Pizza gate was going down and that guy went in the restaurant with a weapon, a few days after that, my buddy called the restaurant and started screaming at them and telling them to let those kids go and he said he hoped that someone came and finished the job.
Apparently, they were getting lots of calls because the call was recorded, and someone other than regular police showed up at his front door the next morning and arrested him on federal charges. He spent four months in jail and had to plead to a felony to get released.
Mind you this man owned no weapons, he did not even own a car and he was in Shreveport, Louisiana
He told them that he never intended to go up there. He was calling out of concern for the kids.
They said well hypothetically if you were gonna go up there, how would you get there and he said, “Well, I guess I’d have to catch a bus”
He has been often on medication for depression and different things for the last 20 years or more. They even put a wire in his brain for some reason about 15 years ago.
I was really surprised they made him plead guilty to a felony if he wanted to go home.
He called me when he was being released and I went down there to pick him up. He told me that they had changed his medication and that he had to tell them that he didn’t believe any of the pizza gate stuff was true.
Then he leaned over and whispered “but I still know it’s true”

I’ve posted this on another site before. Maybe the Hispanic population was cheap labor 20,30,40 years ago. I can confirm that they now charge as much or more than any white/black roofing crew and they do a better job. I hand nailed shingles for 15 years, eventually my small business grew enough to where I could hang up my nail-bag. Started roofing in 1989 started sub contracting in 1993 started using Hispanic crews around 2009.
An American crew(if you can find one) shows up late, goes home early, complains non stop, fight, argue, cuss and holler all day, smell like booze and pot, Leave cigarette butts all over the yard. And Best of All. They all need a loan everyday.
The Hispanic crew, gets there at daylight, works until dark if necessary . And the only thing they ask for is the next address. They like to get paid on friday. I’ve been using the same 2 crews for around 15 years. One crew for shingles and the other crew for commercial flat roofs & metal. They are both state licensed, insured and have tax ID numbers and LLC’s.
If I had one complaint about them it is that they don’t respect the boundaries of property lines. I guess it’s something in their culture. Quite a few times in the last 18 years I’ve pulled up on a job and they’re in the neighbors yard underneath a big shade tree eating their lunch and I have to go out there and get them to clean up all their stuff and move and it confuses them. They don’t understand why they can’t enjoy the shade.

You can start a non profit, do some good for the community and Avoid taxes. I would assume that as long as the non profit is operating. You would pay no tax on the property.
