    There's really no committee; it was a joke by the boss.

    The request for no desserts was made by the vast majority of 40+ women in my office who have expanding asses.  However, I do believe after conferring with a couple of others there will be some dessert of some kind.

    What I was interested in was the soup angle.  How, what, whatnot.  I'm trying to wrap my head around the notion of soup to a potluck.

    Does chili constitute soup?  What about chicken and dumplings?

    I say YES, and it was my first thought.  Take chili, be happy.

     

     

  2. WW2 museum is great.

    The New Orleans Pharmacy museum is small, but also kind of cool.  It's in the Quarter on Chartres.  I went there for a special event (cousin in-law lives in New Orleans and had the wedding reception there) and a tour was part of the event, so I'm not sure how to access it on a "normal" day but it was fun.

    Hit up El Dorado today based on this thread. Got there at 11:30 and the place was packed already, but we got our food in a fairly timely fashion and it was legit. Will definately be back since it's in my hood, I just never thought about going there. Probably because the location makes it easy to forget its there.

    That strip center in a hole has been the death of just about every business that's attempted it.

    On the plus side, plenty of parking for El Dorado, so...

    In most years going 6-6 would mean going 2-6 in the SEC. That’s pretty much dumpster fire level.

    Sure, but they've rationalized it for the past 7 years.  I don't see that changing.

    It's actually astounding.

    There were a bunch of UT fans that seemed nervous (prob not on here) because they were getting a "great coach".

    My first thought* was - so the guy that took a program that has been a national contender for 30 years now - in maybe the best recruiting location in the country - and drove them into the ground and lit the match after soaking everything in gasoline - and this is the man you give a 10 year, $75 million contract to?

    Okay. We'll see how it goes.

    Well, sort-of.  But I don't think it's possible for them to reach the kind of 4-8  depths that Franchione and Sherman experienced, simply because they schedule themselves into an easy 6-6 every year.  That's pretty much going to be their floor, going forward.

    I hate that it was the Cowboys who put the final nail in the Eagles, but it was coming anyway. Total SB hangover: age, injuries, performance drop-off, coaches leaving, tough schedule, and the cliche of opponents wanting it more now.

    Now I hope NFC teams look at this film and realize you shouldn't just play conservative against Dallas because you expect a low scoring game. Receivers can get open, and you can run inside with some success against them.

    And the refs - WTF on both sides. The teams were struggling enough, we didn't need those ridiculous calls on major plays from literally the opening kick all the way into OT.

     

    Conversely, I am delighted that it was the Cowboys that put the final nail in the Eagles.  Because fuck Philadelphia, the city of brotherly hate. :)

    Yeah, we're gonna need see some gear lists so we can tell you from the comfort of our couches how you're doing it wrong. 

    Ha!  Exactly.

    Actually, I'll do it from the comfort of my RV couch, whilst watching the bowl games on the satellite TV mounted into the RV.  But I won't set up my mobile WIFI hotspot, because I prefer to rough it.

    wut??

    From here on out through midnight at least, it's gonna rain all the time.  Sometimes not much, other times heavily.  Forcefield sent packing, if there ever was one.

    Yeah, definitely no FF in the CPTX since about midnight last night.  1.5" at my house so far (yes that's what she said).
