Went around 9. Lines looked to be 1-1.5 hrs long. Took some picks and headed back to the bar.

Gonna bring the little ladies to see the amazing ships docked in Nola tomorrow.

Saw this majestic one ride in a few years ago.



Definitely will be rocking a sailing hat. Going to be a glorious day. God bless the USA.

Judging by the size of the rock on her hand, you baws would have to work 6 months to afford it.

A Georgia family claim their son's beloved therapy pig was shot dead on their street by hungry neighbors.

Garrett Cox, 12, has been left heartbroken ever since the death of his 400-pound hog Bootsy.

But horror struck last week after the family realized Bootsy had escaped from her pen at their home in Hoschton, a rural town located 50 miles northeast of Atlanta.

Garrett's father Matt Cox said he heard a gunshot shortly after and the family followed the sound to their neighbors' home.

They claimed they found Bootsy dead beside a pot of boiling water and the neighbors wearing aprons which lead them to believe they planned to eat Bootsy.

I love the Derby. It’s the pinnacle of horse racing and expensive sweet bourbon drinks.

People love to shite on Nola and Mardi Gras. I get it.

At least we have enough hotels for the fans. And we don’t have the meth heads driving fake Ubers.

Louisville is awful.

Climate change must be real!! How may of us had to turn our heaters on in May last night?

Scrolling across several media sites. The memo has gone out. Just a security incident. Nothing to worry about.

If you’re going to be a bitch, at least get it right.

Throw the towel.

Wave the flag.

He can’t park there.

We’re blaming fields now? Pretty sure the other team plays on the same one.

Our grounds Krewe is elite. Don’t shite on them.
