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.

Nimitz Dept:
This site is losing it almost as bad as the Gators this year for the following reasons:
1) Nimitz sized knockers… well described BUT no pictures?! That is torturing the readers;
2) Oldies picturers…If I want to see that stuff, I would go to Wal mart;
3) TCOAN allows Swindle to admire from afar and from a-close a nice set of hooters? OH My…..If there is trouble at home, I think this site will go downhill.

Note to self:
When in New Orleans on a “job” assignment…always carry another camera to take “fun”pics with, and leave the I-phone for “work”pics…..”Work”= crazy fan pics, tailgating etc……”Fun”—pics for the readers, wild,sexy,half nude co-eds doing crazy stuff whilst drunk for $.50 worth of plastic beads, that , outside bourbon street and Mardi gras, have no magic powers to remove bra’s or no real value…..or at least make a YouTube montage……

Open challenge to Orson or anyone else in NOLA: go to Pat O’s and drink The Magnum…by yourself with no help.
(It’s a shade more than a dozen hurricanes in a giant glass I think).
After the LSU D finishes with Todd Boekman, you can have his liver.

#53 – Will:
As a lifelong resident of Lake New Orleans, I can honestly say that the only people who drink Hurricanes are tourists. We’re taught from a very young age that since we have no real marketable skills as a city, other than tourism, it is our job not to drink what the “payin’ folks” came here for.
And if the sarcasm isn’t noticeably dripping from all of the above, please accept my apologies.
+1 on the Monsoon at Port of Call. Just like grandma used to make…

Where is the best place to recover from a hangover from? There is a place that has the best Shrimp Po Boy near Jackson Square, cant remember the name of it, but last time I was there, I sat next to those Real Estate Midget Twins that are like 3′2, they may be called dwarfs, they were like a normal sized head, big booming voices and about the height of Mini-Me, but they were identical sittin in booster seats…

Mr. Pelican Pants, et al –
I’m a local. The best place for me to recover is my own bed with a bowl of Ramen Noodles. However, if you’re not in too bad of shape, try Jacques-Imo’s uptown. Take the streetcar. Pay no attention to the head chef who happens to be cooking your food in his boxer shorts. Get the stuffed pork chops or the friend chicken. Yes, it’s ok to pay $14 for fried chicken.
If you’re staying in or near the Quarter or downtown, ACME Oyster is better than good, and Felix’s right across the street is better than ACME. Both have po boys. Dante’s Pizza is a late-nite must. Keep those carbs going in and you’ll be less likely to see all the hooch coming out the wrong way.
If you’re fancy (and I don’t mean gay, but cool if you are…who am I to judge) head to Irene’s Cuisine. That’s a local’s place that you don’t find in many tourists maps. The entire menu is proof that God loves us and wants us to die of coronary disease. Slightly pricey, but worth it.

The Camelia Grill isn’t remotely near the dome, but it can work wonders on a hangover too.

#53 Will: No way, that can’t be done. You would die. The one time I went to POB’s it was after a game at the superdome and I had been drinking beer for awhile, but 2 Hurricanes had me as totally destroyed as I’ve ever been.
Since each Hurricane has a double shot of 151, then a dozen would be about the same as 48 shots of 80 proof liquor.

Mr Pelican Pants,
You beat me to posting the historical importance of the Chinese Bandits. 100 cocktails to you sir! By the way Mahler says hello to everyone.

Been to both Acme and Felix’s a few times but I gotta give the nod to Acme. Personal preference I guess.
And for Pete’s sake, if you can get the hell off of Bourbon Street. New Orleans is a world class drinking and eating town but some of the very best places are off of the strip. Lafittes being my favorite on Bourbon.
Wish I was there now with a good excuse, damn those four losses.

I love NOLA. The food is wonderful! Historical importance of the city is amazing! Being able to pop open a bottle of Jack on the street corner at any time of day is only beaten by the time I was in Reno helping a friend of mine look for his lesbian mom at four in the morning while sucking down a bottle of tequila.

I’m not drinking until 8 PM…I can’t pass out like I did 2 minutes before Vince young scored to beat USC.
A ton..and I mean a ton of late money on OSU on my website.
I grew up 1.5 hours away from New Orleans….Great town! I love to eat a casual lunch at Roumalade’s on Bourbon Street…not great food, but close to the strip bars.
