re: Mall of Louisiana's future

I rarely go to malls but I remember having to drop a ring off for sizing at a jewelry store in MOL on Christmas eve about 10 years ago. Driving into the parking lot there was plenty of evidence of ratchet behavior. Loud rap music, ratchet looking basketball Americans all over. I don't carry often but I decided to put a 38 snub in my pocket. So glad I don't live in BR.
The only reasonable solution
I know festival food is expensive but you don't have to go this extreme

They don't exist
I have a no solicitation sign at the front door and a very bad attitude when it comes to people who come to my property to solicit.
6 is always going to come in last but I would bet that she comes in first in the bj department
The USS Kidd but made of wood is my reply
If I meet anyone who wants to talk about gambling and all of the success they have I automatically loose respect for them.
A coexist bumper sticker let's me know that the other driver is a retard.
The difference is these guys have much deeper pockets and have alot of money riding on this. I expect they will use the time honored American tradition of throwing money at the right politicians to try to push this through. In my opinion this is a merger that will completely screw the public. Both airlines can make money on their own. A merger of these 2 basically will make a defacto monopoly for most us airports.
You probably could put your finger on it if you just concentrate.
Many years ago I chased a guy trying to steal tools out of a truck in a fenced in parking lot. Pulled fleeing guy off a fence and take him down with the help of a co worker. While pinning him down my co worker says he has a knife tucked into his waist band. Took a unsheathed kitchen knife off him. Afterwards I realized that I could have been stabbed by a Crack head over someone else's property. So the moral of the story is if you want to stop a criminal you might get more than you bargained for.
My accent is pretty mild but I do get identified as being from the south when I am out of the south. At work when talking about technical matters I am more focused on talking with a neutral accent since I work with several people from outside the US. I became a bit self conscious in a previous job because of being made fun of about my pronunciation of a few words.

Easily one of the worst voices I have ever heard on the radio. The voice and his ranting made me change the station every single time.
It depends but bringing a date to your wife's funeral might be frowned upon.
Carlos was a distant family member. He was married to my grandmother's cousin. Never met the man. There was a family member or two that were associates of his on the gambling side of his business.
I have always referred to my cousins children as second cousins. Learn something new everyday.

The screwing is extra special when you discover one of the taxes is going to pay for a stadium bond for a pro football team.
If I recall correctly one of the training areas at Ft McClellan was called Pellham range.
