My wife and I were in NOLA during the National Championship Game in 2020. Quite honestly I was expecting a LSU fan onslaught, and it was anything but. We saw a group of LSU fans in the country bar we stopped into, and saw a group of LSU students throwing beads from a balcony on Bourbon Street. But really the only sign that there was a national championship game going on was the Media Zone down by the river. Turned a parking lot into ESPN Zone, FOX, and others had huge booths. Fun seeing that while enjoying our morning Beignets.

And the trash can that was the Astros!

I'm in the camp of trading Singletary and a 3rd to Jax for Etienne. I'm just not ready to give up on that.

I'll talk to my wife to see if she wants to go. Not sure as we need a boat load of money for my stepdaughters wedding next year. (We're paying for the reception).

Well that was a nice idea, but wifey just put the "no" on this. Can't blame her reasoning. For Thanksgiving 2018 and 2019, she was unable to eat any Thanksgiving dinner due to cancer treatments. Last year, Covid and no family. So she's looking forward to this Thanksgiving with family and able to to eat the turkey and homemade stuffing. Maybe she'll let me buy like an 85" TV for post-meal football.

I just told my wife about this, and her reply was, "hmmm.... interesting". So it's not a flat out no. There is hope for me yet! (Shush @Hapless Bills Fan)

Well Kyler was drafted by the A's and they still hold his MLB rights...

That A's are willing to fund a new ballpark themselves. It's just if they move, they're kind of back to square one. They have had measures on ballots for environmental impacts, etc. All has been approved. Just the leadership of Oakland is once again, messing this whole thing up.

The management in Oakland have told Oakland city leaders they will pay north of $1 Billion plus and $500 Million in upgrades in infrastructure and housing at the new ballpark site (at Howard Terminal) as well as redevelopment at the Coliseum Site. But in typical Oakland leadership, they are dragging their feet and bringing up what is wrong with the A's plan. Major League Baseball it seems, has had enough. Would a good team like the A's be able to make it in the Buffalo market? How much of a fight would the Blue Jays and Yankess put up keeping another major league team from coming into their markets? I would personally love this as I am a long time A's fan, and all Terry has to do is sell off more land to fund this. Curious as to what you all think.

I have read through the main points of this thread. In conclusion, at 6:30 am, I am going into the freezer for Fireball.

That is standard for classical guitar. I did take classical guitar lessons like 30 years ago, and my teacher had like 3 inch finger nails on his right hand. But classical guitarists are playing nylon strings. Quite a different thing to be using your fingernails on metal wound bass strings.

Don't forget Playgirl centerfold https://vault.si.com/vault/1982/07/12/the-bare-facts-are-hes-a-star The problem, as Oakland Raider Wide Receiver Bob Chandler sees it, was that "I never wanted notoriety for anything other than my playing ability. That's why I had no notoriety." That was before he appeared pretty much in the altogether in the pages of the January 1982 issue of Play girl magazine. "Strange, isn't it," says Chandler, "that after 11 years of busting my ass on the football field, I get the most attention for spending eight hours exposing my ass?"

I've started to use a pick more, but I've studied Geddy Lee (Because I like Rush, they're my favorite), and Geddy doesn't use a pick. He grows his fingernails on his right hand longer and uses his nails like a pick. This had to be a day where I bit my fingernails off in an Eric Cartman like rage over something....

Finger style. Slappin' da bass is straight up funk. You don't slap da bass to The Allman Brothers.

That ain't nuthin! I took a 2 week break from playing bass. I was called up by a band to play a couple of songs. I use extra light gauge strings. The bassist in the other band used medium gauge strings. End result

We liked the Golden Goose. It's a restaurant but with quite the cocktail selection. Sedona has a light policy for night time. As in if you own a house, you cannot have any lights that point up towards the sky. Does add to the quiet evening hours, but fun can still be had. One place you have to go to is Spirits and Spice. They have a location at the Talaquepaque Shopping Area. Just simply the best gin and vodka I have ever had in my life. They also have tequila, bourbon, whisky, etc. For the cook in you, they have different spices and cooking oils that I imagine are just as good as the alcohol they sell. They only have 3 locations. Wyoming, Vegas, and Sedona. Spiritsandspice.com

I'm wondering if he would have any better luck than the guy did hitting the gender reveal ball in the gender reveal thread.

I am a walking encylopedia of useless knowledge

Can't see it in this picture or with the naked eye, but using the binoculars that were at the property, at the top of that rock is a cave, and hieroglyphics were written below the cave entrance.

You're probably paying for the ambiance and the view, more than just the food, but I thought the food was quite good and worth the cost.

I throw the flavor packet out, cook the noodles, yes, I do strain the noodles, and add milk and butter to said noodles. Yum!

6.03. They had a special this year where a top contributor to St. Jude teamed up with an NFL Legend. Michael Vick had the fast time of 4.74
