You think Iberia is French?
About 40 years ago, Pink Floyd played Rice Stadium. A huge electrical storm moved in. They kept playing, and nobody left. Best light show ever!
It helps if you know which team gets the phone call at halftime.

Sued for peace? I don’t think you have any clue how pissed off this country and its armed forces - especially the navy - were after December 7th.

Sued for peace? Not in a million years!

THIS!!!
In public/professional settings, this shows respect and acknowledges the professional stature of the teacher.
Wally Pontiff

Do you happen to have an autographed Wally Pontiff baseball? I knew Wally (same HS but at different times) and never got his autograph. Would love to have one.
Right before they got famous, ZZ Top used to play once a month at a club called The Speakeasy on Stanford, across the lakes from LSU. Cover was $5. They were clean-shaven and ran everyone out of their dressing room a half hour before every show so they could do Transcendental Meditation. They played two sets each on Friday and Saturday and stayed at The Palms Motel on Airline while in Baton Rouge.

B & J’s Seafood!!!

Great Poboys and fried food.

Boiled crawfish, shrimp, and fat blue crabs. Nicely seasoned. Perfectly cooked.

Lots of frozen traditional foods to take home, too.

The One Thing I Miss

The Golden Girls used to come out wearing long purple capes and line up on the Goal Line. Then, one-by-one (by the numbers) they would undo those capes and let them drop, as they turned toward the crowd.

The effect was mesmerizing. I wish they’d bring it back.

I hit Gerald’s by myself and by accident this morning while hunting up breakfast. I loved it. The quintessential New Orleans place for regular people - characters working there and characters eating there. And the food was good at a regular price. And those biscuits! Wow! I could’ve stayed there a long time.

Chalmette Dining?

Going to be at the Sigur Center in Chalmette tomorrow. Can anyone help with ideas about a safe, nice place to eat dinner at around 6pm? Not looking for elegant. It’ll be my wife, my pre-teen daughter, and I.

Thank you in advance.
I had an uncle tell me the worst beach he’d ever been on was Omaha Beach.

I don't remember a single battle where a division of force was successful in the face of superior numbers other than Lee and Jackson at Chancellorsville.


I would say that Henry V at Agincourt Field qualifies.
