The Keys are fricking awesome. Sounds like the problem is within yourself, not the Keys.

Fisherman's Corner is my favorite. Right by the bridge, next to Perdido Seafood. That's the one we go to the most. Always delicious.

I also like Jellyfish.

Have never been to the Oyster Bar but have heard good things.

I've been to Cobalt a couple of times, and its good.

The Salty Pearl is right next to Fisherman's Corner, and I have heard great things, but haven't been there.

but yeah, definitely go to Fisherman's Corner for lunch or dinner.

75 really isn't that much faster is it?

I drove down 98 in December and the hurricane damage wasn't all that bad.

Stayed in the program for a long time and killed it once he got the starting job.

Would love to see it. Sticking with 1 program in this day and age for as long as he has waiting for his chance seems pretty rare. Really want to see him ball out. He'll have plenty of quality WRs to throw to.

Did you ever get any info back about the banded Royal Tern that you snapped a photo of?

damnit, quit being nice to me :lol:

I don't believe that I did. I definitely made the report though.

I reported a dead gulf sturgeon that I came across that was washed up on the beach in Perdido Key a few months back, and they did get back to me, and they even sent me some "save the gulf sturgeon" stickers as a thank you.

People that bother famous people, especially for social media clicks, are the fricking worst.

But also, lol at Orgeron getting butthurt about the dude saying roll tide to him. Very sensitive and insecure.

re: Which LSU-BAMA game of the past 20 years was best?

Posted by Funky Tide 8 on 6/11/25 at 6:22 pm

2012 for me easily, because I was in the stands in a sea of LSU fans, and it was my last semester at Bama, and it was one of the best times ever.

so the better measurement would be the rate of gunshot victims that get admitted into hospitals? What are those numbers?

What? That isn't a "belief," much less a retarded one. Its an indisputable, cold-hard fact. If you want a 100% chance of not being bitten by a shark, don't go into the ocean or bay. If you want 100% assurance that a shark won't eat your catch, then don't fish in the ocean or bay. Simple as that.

I've enjoyed this season better than season 1. Pretty much all of them have been really enjoyable and very funny. Mob episode, Joe gator episode, and Joseph gerbils episode have been my favorites. The Joe Gator one was great because it seemed like it was supposed to be set around here in Pensacola or close, and gator attacks have been a hot topic this spring.

The Montgomery Cheesemongers one was pretty damn funny too.

re: The Brutalist was trash (Spoilers)

Watched it last night. First half is fine I guess. Second half was.... unenjoyable. Cinematography and acting were good, it was just hard to really like Toth as a character. And the Van Burens sucked too. His cousin and wife were cool until they oddly turn against him. What the hell was that all about?

Even him being a junkie is just a kind of random plot device that wasnt really that interesting. The weird sexual stuff didn't add anything to the movie, and made things weird. The flash forward to the 80s is an odd transition to end the movie. All of a sudden switching to an 80s art house film style didn't really work. Unlikable characters and everything that happened was depressing.

The "American industrialist exploits, abuses, and rapes immigrants" theme was way too on the nose, and frankly dumb, especially the immigrants being Jewish Holocaust survivors. Just didn't buy it.

And then I see that it isn't even based on a real person. Will never watch again.
