after katrina, i said good that city needed an enema. your problem is mate your in a demographic death spiral.

60% black, in 10 years you'll be jackson mississippi.


What did New Orleans ever do to you?

quote:

New Orleans' population shifted significantly between 2000 and 2025. In 2000, the city had 484,674 residents (67% Black, 28% White, 3% Hispanic). By 2025, the population shrank to roughly 362,154, becoming 55% Black, 31% White, and 8% Hispanic.


We have a lower black population now than before the storm (by raw # and %). I agree that NOLA has trouble attracting the middle class, which ends up living in 4-5 surrounding parishes. Even middle class blacks move away.

so basically a tourist trap. you need to understand something jethro 700k people live in the suburbs of new orleans as opposed to 300k people who actually live in that festering asswhole of a city. you're hanging on to your nfl franchise by a very thin thread.

san antonio saints has a nice ring to it!


You sound triggered. Were you mugged or did you get a parking ticket here?

I told some N.O. natives several years ago that Latoya Cantrell is incompetent...I basically got cussed out and told F you, etc.


What did these folks look like? Most of my crowd would agree with you wholeheartedly. I could tell from the beginning and voted for others. One problem with New Orleans is the dearth of a middle class.

He sounds petty and jealous.

"New Orleans has been named one of the most irreplaceable places in the country, landing on a new national preservation list that recognizes historic sites considered essential to the American story." New Orleans was the only city on the whole list.

New Orleans is far from perfect, but that's part of our charm...probably.

What a shite thing to do when his friends are grieving and now being cast as racist murderers.


I hope they sue Crump/Sharpton and all involved in the false accusations so hard.
One of the most iconic pics of our age. God bless Donald Trump!

And I got down voted for saying 'I would drink a "Bulleit to the Ear" cocktail and smile about what a magnificent sumbitch we have in the white house.'

We have a president as great as Reagan and Washington for another 2+ years. Appreciate that rn because the next may be worse than Biden. And resolve to get another great one voted in.
I mainly did that as a lost resort when there we no flies available, but could find crickets.

Like others have said, A few small panfish poppers is all you really need in bluegill waters. Add a few wet flies to use on their own or as droppers and you can have some fun flyfishing for them. You can pick them up at almost any tackle store.

re: Fireworks injuries and amputations

We shot fireworks at each other all the time growing up and no one got hurt. We were just lucky though. Years later my little cousin (big ole baw now) lost an eye in a bottle rocket war in Orange TX when he was a kid. I didn't let my kids do some of the shite I did and unsupervised fireworks was one.
Don't forget Tillamook ...Ice Cream...beefsticks and the buttah is bettah dan any NOLA fat except Holy Mary....

re: Social Security Summary

I remember when I was a young MBA looking at my 1st corporate paycheck. Seeing what was taken out, I was pissed off. I wished back then I could have opted out and invested the difference. I turn 62 next year and my own investments will be giving me way more than SS when I retire.

I could have retired much earlier if opting out and investing were an option.

ETA-After 2 divorces with property settlments; who knows if any of that would have worked out my way...maybe SS is a decent safety net.
As the 4014 passes by, it seems like he splooged.
I've caught perch with a hook, bobber and sinker on the tippet and used the flyrod kinda like a cane pole. Fly fishing with just a live cricket will lose a lot of crickets on the backcast.

A gentle roll cast may work with just a hook and cricket if you can do that technique.
Went to grammar/middle school with Sammy. Fastest kid on the westbank fa sho! Loved watching him as a Tiger.
Not likely, I'll be 111 years old.

My retirement planning only funds me through 99 years old, so I'll be a po ole man if I'm around.
Gen X will be there 1st...but everyone forgets about us!

re: First LSU game I attended

Posted by dat yat on 7/1/26 at 12:44 am to
My 1st game was my freshman year; 1983 against FSU. My paw paw had engineered parts of Tiger Stadium and the dorms; my mom had attended a year at LSU before finishing at LSUNO; but we never went to games and listened to every game on WWL unles there was a rare TV game.

That night I was amazed at Mike the Tiger, the Golden Band from Tigerland, the chearleaders...and then FSU wooped our butts. Didn't matter, Cross country teamate from Barbados introduced me and a buddy to weed later that night and all was goood. Bad year for football.

The next year Arnsparger, with the help of some Shaw freshmen, turned it all around.

re: Share a good thing about your life

I've always been kind of a paw paw and now I'm a real paw paw to 4. Both of my kids have careers, spouses, children and houses and are happy as pie.
They all love the woman I now love. If I had listened to mama and left LSU to finish at UNO, I may have met this woman when we were both young. But I lived life my way, had 2 divorces and met her in my 50s. I'm really considering jumping in with both feet and a big diamond ring. 60ish ain't too old for love.
Speaking like that in the USA? Remind him of the 1st amendment, first. Then allow zero protection for subversive views...death to traitors.
My GF asked me Sunday about getting her an engagement ring soon and followed up with "...don't you want to mark your territory?" Apparently "I did dat last night." was not the response she was looking for.

One of my clients is a shrimp processor down there. Over 90% of his Gulf shrimp are bought off local Vietnamese boats. They really took over what Bubba had.
How can you say

he was really quick on the trigger in social settings. He whipped alot of dudes' asses in the Laffy area.

You think going off on random dudes in social setting is good or even normal?

What you describe and what we saw in the video here is POS behavior.
