ON ASSIGNMENT IN THE NOLIA.

We’re careening around NOLA today with the Chinese Bandits and company for the Sporting News. We’ll be posting there all day if we survive the LSU tailgate we’ve been referred to by Ragin Cajun. We’ll be posting on the move much of the day, so expect little in these parts for today.
And to the tOSU fan with the Nimitz-class tits flashing the crowd last night–thank you, from all of us. You are a woman of both beauty and charity.

In unrelated good news, Mike Hunt has enrolled at Mississippi State for the spring semester (per MSU posting).
Let the Houston Nutt & Casey Dick jokes begin anew.

You posted a picture of old ladies in Chinese hats but didn’t bother with a picture of “Nimitz-class tits”?
Dude, seriously, that’s unacceptable. I want you to stand in the corner at Pat O’Brien’s for 30 minutes and think about what you’ve done.

I have to agree with the other commenters. The internet was designed for young, bared breasts, not old people in vaguely racist headgear.

What Orson left out was the massive beer gut underneath the Nimitz-class tits and that their owner was Rocco, a steel-worker from Youngstown.

#8 = i think that’s a dude, dude.
Yea, what’s the scoop here man, based on the Clay Travis ramblings, LSU was a milf/cougar enclave.
One bone to pick regarding NOLA — I went to Mardi Gras 2004, last one before Katrina, and I’m gonna tell you this ‘boobs for beads’ thing, simply did not exist. The only women flashing us were strippers. I was very disappointed because St. Patty’s in Savannah has more girls flashing and basically being naughty, overall, not even per capita.

Do you really want to drink something that touts itself “ass beer”? I’ll have none of that thanks, I don’t care how big that “ass beer” is.

LOL, that dude in front is a DUDE, or a Cajun grandma that can beat ya arm wrasslin’, and probaly is a pretty good welder to boot, even the chick in the goatee can weld or shrimp pretty good….I’m disappointed that SN didnt send you directly to Shreveport DURING the game and make you go door to door to get those people to re-subscribe……there better be a pic of some Nimitz Class torpedos on here rather than a bunch of Senior Citizen Chinaman Crossdressers…..

#11 – You must have been lost then. Because every time I’ve ever been in the quarter, there is flashing for beeds going on. Even when its NOT Mardi Gras. And I live here so I’ve been there quite often.

Brian—the bead thing goes on all year long…you must have been on the gay section of New Orleans or lost or something….plus you have to be out and about when the alchohol is kickin in the most, around 8pm or later to get really good shots

Every day I spend in this hotel I get weaker while charlie squats in the bush getting stronger.

What exactly is “Ass Beer”, regardless of size/quantity? Would one really want an “Ass Beer” to go? Is it similar to Miller Lite? Coors? Pabst?

The best thing that can happen in New Orleans tonight is that a “Dirty Bomb” be unleashed. Not the one you get from draft beer and jumbalaya, though.

tOSU fans — making crass Michigan jokes even when playing another team. I think NOLA may have finally found people too degenerate to fit in there. Hard to do, but tOSU has had lots of success in many things lately. Why not degeneracy?

They’re not Ass Beers, they’re Big Ass Beers. Look closely in the background of the Chinese Bandit picture.
Those things run about 32 oz and $5. It’s shitty lite beer, but it’ll get the job done. I mean fuck, it’s Bourbon Street, you’re not there for 15 year scotch.
And stay away from the absinthe. I wish Wesley Willis coulda written about the hellride I took on that stuff.

increasing the quantity of ass beer doesn’t make it any more appealing, IMO.

If you dare, get a “One Mighty Punch” — they used to sell them from a little nook far down Bourbon St., in the “Gay Eighth,” past St. Ann. Those things will fuck you up. I don’t know what’s in them, but on more than one occasion drinking one of those was my last memory before waking up at noon the next day on the floor on my hotel with my underwear on my head.

Chinese Bandits – Whenever LSU forces a turnover or gets the ball back via a defensive stop, the LSU band plays the Chinese Bandit tune. The entire stadium bows to the defense while the tune is played. The term “Chinese Bandits” originated as the nickname that LSU Coach Paul Dietzel gave to the defensive unit he organized in 1958, which helped LSU to win its first national championship. The next season, the 1959 Chinese Bandit defense held their opponents to an average of only 143.2 yards per game.
Lets see…the color yellow, a tiger for a mascot, Chinese Bandits……..Commies are takin over!!!!

@40, Don’t I know it. Last time I was there (summer ‘06) I had such a good time I missed a 5pm flight home because I was still sleeping it off. If I had my druthers, I’d never have come home. Maybe that will happen one of these visits.

So, these LSU fans are “Old school” or “obscurely clever”, rather than just “batshit crazy”.

Sorry , Herb. Tits ain’t happening in Metairie beyond a few here and there shots because of their “family atmosphere.” As anyone knows, the only & best way to capture the full glory of Mardi Gras is FROM the Quarter balcony or FROM the float. I filled up a GB flash card riding in Endymion last year. One year back in the 90’s we had a two strand garland on the Royal Sonesta from corner to corner (Bienville to Conti) made up of bras from obliging ladies desiring cheap plastic beads. Of course, there’d be the occasional guy dropping trou but what the hell, we’d just tell the kids to cover their eyes. If any Buckeyes want the best drink (& burger) in town, head down to Port Of Call On Esplanade for a Monsoon. Two of those and your bellman brings you to your room on his luggage cart.
