When Evolution was in Athens I got my nephew a Georgia Bulldog stuffie. Now he says I have to get him a "Tony the Tiger" stuffie when I go visit LSU. I keep telling him his name is Mike but it's not sinking in

I watched enough Northeast Louisiana tornado coverage that every time I see a news headline about Delhi, India, my brain goes straight to DELL-high first 😂

I always go with Natchitoches for these things, but since I'm not really from Louisiana, let's go with Arab, AL (the letter A + "rab")

The grey ratsnake was sitting absolutely frozen still on the trail at first. I thought he was dead 😂 Clearly I have never seen a ratsnake in its prime before.
