Why would you bring your pet to the parade route? Sounds horrible.


I lived on the route and would take my dog for a walk down st Charles sometimes?
How can you possibly prohibit pets on the parade route? That’s actually insane.
My in laws are melting down about this halftime show.
I noticed something…..intentional..about that neighbor commercial.

Whenever my dog “escapes” she just runs and lays by the back or front door.

Maybe I'm missing something but what's so bad about Perkins Rowe? Going grab dinner and a movie there makes for a great night imo. Also, last I checked, Perkins Rowe doesn't have a 15,000 person entertainment venue. So no, not like perkins rowe


Nothing wrong with it per se other than it’s just a stale manufactured little village. Like they tried to take the French quarter and bottle it into a built all at once Baton Rouge version for a few blocks.

Again it’s better than ghetto but it also just isn’t as nice as something that organically came together over time.

think the people that complain about this project are looking at it from solely an LSU athletics perspective. The arena is a small part of a much larger development project that will include restaurants, hotels, academic and research facilities, shops, offices, and other things. This development isn't just meant to replace the PMAC, it is essentially meant to replace downtown BR as the entertainment center of Baton Rouge Thats why getting EBR on board was so important.


So basically a Perkins Rowe :lol:

Yuck. I do agree that area needs revitalization but it will be something very stale and probably won’t even chase the riff raff out.

I’m not saying she’s super attractive by any means but she wouldn’t have an issue getting a date in 1970s New York. The only time the show really goes out of their way to present her as sought after is the first season when she’s fresh meat in the office and every guy is coming at her for a quick hook up in the office. She gets pregnant and gains weight all that is gone as she transitioned to a copy righter vs a secretary From that point on she a few long term relationships on the show - most of the guys are attracted to her for other reasons than looks and moreso for her independence and aggressive nature in the dating scene, which she got from Don. They have a couple scenes that outwardly point to her as frumpy or not conventionally attractive. I don’t see where you see her getting made to look like some supermodel in the context of the show


This was a better way of trying to say what I was trying to say above :lol:

It wasn’t her looks. It was attitude. A forward woman was a rare thing in that time.

What are you trying to argue? The point is the show depicted her as hot and desirable and most males in her orbit acted the same with very view exceptions.


I guess I never picked up the show trying to indicate she was even remotely physically attractive. Just that she had a good mind for advertisement and made that known through general talent.

I think those guys on the show would frick anything that moved and Peggy also was rising up the ranks with talent to boot. Not unbelievable all the horned up 60s dudes would take a shot looks or not.

Yeah but Ted was a bleeding heart liberal and probably saw “Le resistance” in her.

And duck was pathetic. Small dick energy for sure.

How did Elisabeth Moss convince hollywood that she is some siren that all men are attracted to? This show and Handmaids Tale, guys are fawning over her, ruining their families, commitng treason....for a mid AF chick with a bird face. Last season of Handmaids Tale she looked like a linebacker...Specifically Jack Ham...with all her teeth/.


Never thought she was pulling crazy high end guys in MM. the biggest pull she had was probably Pete and it was early season 1 when he was about to get married and was likely just reaching out for the nearest girl he could.

Notice it basically never comes up again after like the 1-2 times they bang. Unless I’m misremembering most of her guys after that are just regular schmucks right?

She’s the perfect character for a go getter who blasts through the barriers set up in episode 1. I think she’s supposed to be specifically not super attractive and more just average.

Here in the Shenandoah valley ready for 24” of snow.

We had electric gas and wood fire and cooking options.

Got a portable generator that can power critical items. Ready to go for this one.

And all the bread and milk you can possibly imagine.

Cool. I’ll research it. Any reason why they’d shower this thing with more Oscar’s than any movies ever had before?
This actually seems like relatively smart fiscal planning.

They even ran a surplus damn near to their projections for several years to cover this then beat their projections and get to keep that remaining surplus.

This isn’t a story.
I have not seen it.

Any recs here?
