When I was a senior we had drinks with some of our teachers who were the same age, and I'm pretty sure it was at the same bar. It was cool to have a beer with your teacher. Shame on these girls for letting it get weird.
Never been to those places, in most cases never even heard of them. Hole in the wall hipster joints trying to act tough.
Good find on that plaque. The Rex organization went out there a year ago and did a remembrance. It was on the wyes meeting of the courts broadcast last year.
Trumanfungs and Tom McD might need counseling after this thread is over. LOL.

And again, Point Du Mardi Gras was still the first ever Mardi Gras celebration, in 1699 in present day Louisiana. And the first real Mardi Gras parade started at Magazine and Julia in New Orleans in 1857. Facts are facts. Bye!
If they're offering to stop it with the signs and screaming, I say take the deal. Let's start them off with the Discombobulator, like we did with the Venezuelans.
If your whole argument is that whoever did the very first Mardi Gras celebration of any kind in North America gets to claim it, then Mobile loses again because the first recorded celebration was on the banks of the Mississippi River in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana.

Sorry.
We're talking about two different things. I'm talking about the modern understanding of Mardi Gras, the one people from all over the world come to see in New Orleans evey year: purple green and gold floats throwing items to people in a street parade and then a ball afterwards. New Orleans started all that. Comus came up with the format. Rex picked the colors.

You're talking about Mardi Gras as an ancient holiday with feasts and celebrations, and claiming it for Mobile, which is ridiculous. Mardi Gras in that respect predates the discovery of North America and Christianity itself.
No. What Mobile claims as its first Mardi Gras parade was actually on New Year's 1830, at which point Alabama was a State. So, it wasn't a Mardi Gras parade by definition because it wasn't during Mardi Gras.

As between Mobile and New Orleans, the first real Mardi Gras parade, on Mardi Gras day, happened in New Orleans in 1857.
Nah bro. I just know my facts. Carnival actually goes back to ancient Rome and even before that. Mobile claiming Mardi Gras is comical. And what people think of as New Orleans Mardi Gras was invented by the old line New Orleans krewes. The Mobile celebrations didn't even have the same format or scale.
Stidham looks like a temu Kirk Cameron.
Mobile was a new years celebration. Try again.

Direct TV got hot
Scone is basically the Sean Hannity of college football podcasts. He's biased and repeats himself a lot, but he puts on a consistently good show and gets good guests. He works hard even though his catchphrases and sponsor plugs get monotonous.

Maybe it would be more efficient for Supper Club to have its own thread.
Supper Club worked for Sam Leavitt.

Just saying.
