But music and movies and a lot of other things were so much better then.


And could still cry over 25-cent oysters at Chimes until the mid-2000s
Is 1999 the last year major Louisiana sports were in this state of collective shambles? LSU was 3-8 under Dinardo. Ditka had Saints at 3-13. Pelicans were weren’t with us yet (but still tanking over in Charlotte).

This year we’re really hitting the trifecta with piss poor performances of the Saints Pelicans and LSU.
We should elect our politicians rather than let the system elect them. Both sides gerrymander and it is anathema to democracy.

At minimum, we should prohibit mid-decade redistricting and require bipartisan commissions to draw fair, transparent maps.
For anyone wondering what the dollar impact per effected taxpayer would be, the following is a quote from The Colorado Sun:

"Proposition MM will bring in new revenue by reducing the income tax deductions that can be claimed by Colorado households earning at least $300,000 in federal adjusted gross income. Nonpartisan legislative staff estimate the average single filer earning $300,000 or more in adjusted gross income will owe an additional $327 in taxes and the average joint filer earning $300,000 or more would owe an extra $574."
“[…] all pertinent Grand Jury testimony […]”

In other words all testimony that does not make folks the administration doesn’t want to look bad look bad.

What a joke.

Magic 8ball says that Belichik's LSU visit and his openness to entertain college coaching jobs are not coincidental.

The buffering is the main event.

Reach out to the LSU alumni association and see if someone can hook you up. My cousin lives in Pasadena and they boil 1,000 lbs every spring. Just texted her to see if they could help you out. Unfortunately they’re in NOLA right now on vacation.



Thanks for the response. I actually already posted on the SoCal LSU Alumni Org Facebook page a few days ago. Good suggestion though.
Brother is flying in Thursday this week (5/9) with two sacks of crawfish. Hoping to track down a 100 qt pot + burner to have a boil and come up empty-handed thus far.

Any TD folks in the LA metro area I could borrow from? Happy to thank with wine/beer/crawfish!
Gambinos. Got three and they were bad. Too late to order from other places. I’ll try Haydels next year.

King Cakes Still Available in BR?

Posted by abitaman6363 on 3/6/22 at 4:23 pm
Had a couple king cakes shipped to me in California and they weren’t good. Flew into town today and hoping to get one of any available. Checked Rouses (airline), calandro’s (Perkins), Alexander’s (Highland) but they no longer have em’.

Anyone seen king cakes still for sale in BR this weekend? Thanks!
Appreciate those who make it to the top and remain grounded in this way.

LINK ]CNN: Andrew Whitworth [...] Spreads the Wealth

"They're behind a still unspooling list of good deeds that range from small to massive, including writing a check for $250,000 to the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank [...]

Among the highlights of the Whitworths' generosity:

*600 bicycles to children at a school in a low-income LA neighborhood;

*$215,000 for the players' social justice fund;

*$400,000 for scholarships and school supplies for Louisiana schoolchildren;

*Christmas dinner and gifts for 53 families living in hotels and shelters; and

*helping raise $875,000 to grant wishes for children battling terminal illness."
The father passed away in 2015. Obituary is below:

Best of luck tracking down his son, Joseph, who as of the date of the obituary lived in Metairie.

We have no idea what's going on behind the scenes. Marshall has to worry about #1, and his future, not fanboys.


Again—have no problem with him worrying about #1. I do have a problem with someone who says it’s all about the team and focus (not Number #1) and then jumping ship shortly thereafter.

It’s not a hard concept to grasp.

He doesn’t care what idiotic rantards who have no personal frame of reference to the situation say or think



He called a meeting and told his team they are in the season together—and then quit two weeks later. He’s the one who provided a frame of reference and then crapped all over it.
I understand a person looking out for their own financial interests. But I take issue with someone calling a team meeting to convey a message of unity and focus and persistence only to quit two weeks later.

"I just wanted to remind them that we still got a mission ahead of us and we gotta keep playing and keep growing [...] Through all of the hard times with this COVID stuff, we've gotta keep our eyes focused on the prize and that's to finish the season off the best way that we can."

"All I can say is we just gotta keep our eyes straight and win the season out."
WWL on Radio.com is not playing game. Any recs of another station that has it and streaming online.
Does anyone on here use Revel POS as its payment processor? My understanding is the rate under Revel Advantage is 2.49% + $0.15/transaction for both keyed and non-keyed transactions — which is quite low. Are there any hidden fees that make payment processing with Revel less attractive than advertised?

Any idea who the artist is?



Haven't confirmed but looks like Jacob Zumo's work. He's the person who did the men's BBall portraits last year so it would make sense.
