- The French Quarter needs a bath every morning. Anyone who walks through the French Quarter needs a bath immediately thereafter.
- Man, people act a fool down there.
- The highway to from New Orleans to Baton Rouge may be "boring" but it's efficient. Seventy miles per hour without on and off ramps (because not many people want to exit into a swamp.)
- The tailgating scene at LSU borders on the bizarre. RVs as far as the eye can see, and the campus itself was full of tables and tents everywhere you could look.
- We saw Shaq! No matter how huge you envision he might be, that's not big enough.
- Everyone always told me to go to a "night game" at LSU. I expected a drunken - borderline violent - crowd like you would see at a European soccer game. It was far from it. They were loud and it was a scene to behold, but it wasn't over the top.
- And, man, I forgot how boring LSU's four-yards-at-a-time offense is.
- It was Washington bizarro for me. LSU played the University of Washington which is the same team that Baylor played in the Alamo Bowl I went to in December. And the Saints played Washington (D.C.).
- I saw a Segway tour in New Orleans. Those things must be the easiest things to learn to ride in the history of ever.
- I'm mad I missed the weather here on Saturday. It sounded fantastic.
- Of all the football I saw in person, nothing stopped me down like hearing over the radio on Saturday that a Tulane player had been so severely injured that a tracheotomy had to be performed on the field. After I Google it when I got home, I found out those reports were not true.
- I didn't go to the Ninth Ward, but I saw almost no evidence of the aftermath of Katrina.
- Man, there was a lot of trash talking between Saints and Redskins fans. I don't understand how grown men can get so passionate about a professional team.
- I'm a neutral fan at these "football road trip games" so I never cheer. There's always at least one guy in the stands eyeing me trying to figure out what's wrong with me.
- RG3 was fantastic. Yeah, it's only one game, but he looks like he's the real deal. And it's kind of fun to say I saw his last college TD and his first pro TD in person.
- We walked to the cemetery I mentioned last week and the journey didn't seem bad at all. Although we did get close to one drunk white guy who couldn't hang on to his lighter to save his life. (And he had a hard time picking it up.) Of all the 100+ year old graves in there, I was surprised to find one tomb with "2011" added to it.
- Mrs. LL walked into a VooDoo shop. Not me. I'm keeping my sweet, clean karma..
- In general, I think I've lost my appetite. Is that a symptom of something?

The last time I went to New Orleans was about 12 years ago. I wanted to burn my clothes when I got home, because I figured that would be easier than trying to wash the NOLA filth off of them. I'm certain it's a great place to go if you're a college undergrad, but I'm not sure why an adult would want to visit there more than once. Sure, there are things to do that don't involve getting wasted and "partying," but those things don't outweigh the hassle of dealing with obnoxious drunks in a filthy environment. You can get good Cajun food in other cities, and in those other cities you won't feel like you're getting hustled or about to get mugged or catch a disease just by walking down the street.
In the prehospital environment, the procedure of choice would be the cricothyrotomy.
Appetite loss can mean you have cancer or you're pregnant.

"There's always at least one guy in the stands eyeing me trying to figure out what's wrong with me."
Understatement of the week, and it's only Monday. Why are you limiting yourself to sports venues? I'm sure guys are trying to figure out what's wrong with you all over the place!
Loss of appetite could just be aging taste buds...but it's probably cancer!!
wa-aht wa-a-ah!

Man, people act a fool down there.
New Orleans is the most over rated city in the history of ever.
I didn't go to the Ninth Ward, but I saw almost no evidence of the aftermath of Katrina.
Yeah. I haven't been to Niagara Falls, so I haven't seen Niagara Falls, either.
If you're looking for damage without actually going through the most heavily damaged areas, you're kind of doing it wrong. The areas closer in have been rebuilt more, especially where the tourists (you) are (were). Drive east on I-10, and the place looks like a ghost town. Still.

Man, I can't wait for ol' wordy to come in here and say "sure, unemployment is calculated the same way it was even when Bush was in office, BUT..." and then explain why Obama's number, calculated the exact same way, are worse than Bush's.
Bush was losing 750,000 jobs a month when he left office. We can't get back to that with the same failed Republican policies. What has Romney offered that's different from Bush? Fool me once...
Show me the tax returns!
Lack of appetite?

Not bad BG but not good.
Rather than being a "neutral" observer, you should try cheering wildly for both teams. Imagine the looks you'd get then!
Is that Laura Dern in the center?
RTG: all three are neck downers. But left and center are do-able
"In general, I think I've lost my appetite. Is that a symptom of something?"
Drinking too much.
Lack of appetite your depressed and have cancer. Or it could just be all we have is junk food places in this shi* hole to eat at. Or it could be from all the preservatives you eat in all those crappy frozen meals you eat to lose weight. Which by the way you don't need to your not fat. May'be your just obsessed with weight loss or anorexic!
"In general, I think I've lost my appetite. Is that a symptom of something?"
Maybe you are just tired of eating out all the time.
10:15...my bet is it would be very easy to fool you more than once.
More charges on the that Attorney in Arizona. Some people just never learn. Sheesh is right.

Trying to find a place to pee in NOLA is like trying to find a place to park on the square, thats why it stinks...people just pee on the sidewalk.
RT girl- always, always, always, nose-job before boob-job.
This hopelessness and chains is making food unappetizing.
And it looks like you can be fooled 100% of the time, 11:41.

Eating great cajun food in LA then coming back to Decatur cuisine=loss of appetite.
You can be cured, go to GoGo Gumbo.
10:15...I have a question. Why do you so desperately want to see tax returns? He has shown the tax returns he was required to show. Unlike most people, I would bet Romney's returns are audited every year. I have been audited twice and both times, they went back three years. Do you think he cheated? If it's not about cheating, then why are you so interested? I would bet every deduction is legitimate. If the above is true, then you want to rake him over the coals for being successful? I would rather have a successful business man over a successful community organizer any day.Get over it, he is not releasing the returns, nor should he.
If you suffer from a lack of appetite and have no other noticeable symptoms, it is probably nothing.
I think if you go without eating for a day or two your appetite will return.
If you are still not hungry after a couple of days, give me a call. I can stop buy and give you something to end it all...uh....I mean, help you out.

Bacon is very picky. I have yet to see a pick me up on here that I wouldn't give 5 out of 5. Maybe Bacon needs to post a picture for the ladies to grade(if there are any ladies still reading this).
Howard Wolowitz's wing man.
What have you lost your appetite for? Most of the comments seem to assume you're referring to food. Is that the case, or are you cleverly telling us you've lost your craving for something else?
12:14-AMEN BROTHER!!
Perhaps, Mrs. LL's visit to the voodoo shop has something to do with your loss of appetite.
Bacon is picky. From the looks of bacon he should sweep that picky attitude under the rug.
Did Mrs LL buy you a gris-gris bag? She should have. Good mojo.

Hey now you businessmen for president supporters - Jimmy Carter was a "businessman" as was Herbert Hoover. How'd they work out for the country? Oversimplification is the hobgoblin of little minds.
RGIII did not score a touchdown yesterday.

Romney had money in swiss bank accounts. In 2009 he closed them.
The IRS cracked down on swiss banks sheltering U. S. citizens undeclared income. The banks gave up the names of the account holders. It is a federal crime to evade income tax. The IRS issued a moratorium and said if you declare your money in swiss accounts and pay the income tax we will not impose penalties or prosecute, all is forgiven, just close the accounts and pay the tax. The IRS collected hundreds of millions dollars and the account holders did not face federal tax evasion. Not saying he did but given that Romney closed his accounts in 2009 it is quite possible that he accepted amnesty. Nothing illegal but his tax returns would reveal if he had evaded income tax and then accepted amnesty. Evading income tax even if you are forgiven does not bode well for a candidate for president. That is why the Dems want you to see his tax returns. You can google IRS amnesty for swiss bank accounts for details.

A foreign corporation can have as many Swiss bank accounts as it wishes. U.S. investors in these corporations are not taxed until they sell shares of the corp or until it pays dividends and are not required to report to the IRS these bank accounts because they are not theirs.
This is why it is virtually impossible to regulate foreign bank accounts - we live in a global economy and investors like Romney can invest wherever he wishes. Bitter liberals and have-nots call this tax evasion.
This amnesty thing that 5:28 is referring to relates to accounts that are held by U.S. individuals and this has hardly netted any additional tax revenue for the USA. There are a lot of millionaires and billionaires laughing all the way to the (Swiss) bank.

Romney's Swiss account, part of a blind trust administered by a money manager, was closed in 2010, not 2009. The account was legal and disclosed to the IRS and the U.S. Treasury. Income from the account was included in Romney’s tax returns and all U.S. taxes due were paid. Nothing illegal or improper about it.
This clamor about tax returns is the Democrat version of Obama's birth certificate. Anything to distract from the economy and Obama's record.
Wordy, please note that Obama provided his birth certificate and tax returns. What does Romney have to hide? His returns are likely legal - just very embarrassing.
852 - Please note that except for a very few extremists, Obama's birth certificate was much ado about nothing, a distraction from real issues. Same with Romney's tax returns.
Romney's returns are almost certainly legal and accurate to within a micron. He's been under public scrutiny for the last decade. He's got no history of illegal activity (such as smoking dope and doing blow while in school or doing business with convicted felons.) Professionals prepare his taxes.
Why should Romney release his tax returns? Democrats and the media will seize on any detail, inventing "facts" when necessary to imply something illegal or unethical, (see "Romney hazed a gay kid 50 years ago") and that story will be the latest distraction from serious issues, such as Obama's record.
Backdoor and Wordy, I'm guessing Romney is among the 35,000 folks who took advantage of the amninisty program and paid some 35 Billion in past taxes and penalties. Showing his tax returns would clarify that.
744 - It's not even a guess on your part, it's wishful thinking based on nothing but your partisanship. The misinformation has already started -- witness Uncle Wally's giving the wrong date of Romney's account closing, so it would match his accusation. Regardless of what Romney does, he won't be given a fair shake in the media, who carry Obama's water.
Sorry Wordy, your continuing blame of the "media" just doesn't hold water. There's lots of competing media to go around. Rather than blaming the media for what they might do, why not question Romney for what he hasn't done - eliminate questions about his tax returns?
