Same old blues, just a different day. World’s okayest tailgater, LSU alum, amateur cook, bad fly fisherman, aspiring endurance sport idiot. Chances are I’ve given you a beer and a plate of food. Views are mine. YNWA. #DVATailgating

“I don’t live somewhere where I can easily get gumbo,” having a negative attitude will get you nowhere, you need to make the gumbo you wish to eat in this world

A 30-year-old ex–hedge fund analyst wants to be governor of Florida. His platform? Scrap H-1Bs, abolish property taxes, and maybe require a lottery just to move to Florida.

Having a great time watching everyone get their spreads ready for the holiday, it’s way more normal than me doing unhinged stuff, like slicing 20 lbs. of sausage at 11PM on a Friday.

Was living in Houston during Katrina, went home for Thanksgiving break because our house was okay, only to be told we’d be doing the holiday in Meridian, MS, with my mom’s family. Did all that only for there to be zero gravy at the meal, I was furious as a 15-year old.
yes, hello, I would like to place an order for everyone’s funniest stories of holiday food-related family grudges / drama / chaotic incidents / lore
I feel like we need this

Maybe is the increase in mileage coupled with two straight home games + tailgates, but for the last three nights I’ve been hit by that immense full-body tired where you start to doze off whenever you stop moving.

“Plea from a Cat Named Virtute” by the Weakerthans came up on a playlist for the first time in a while, hearing that song for the first time when I was in the depths of depression brains and imagining it from my dogs’ perspective was one of the things that motivated me to get the nose up on life

Got the chance to go to Disney World a couple times in December when it was decently warm, and somehow seeing Christmas decorations there during warm weather is terrific, yet it’s the worst thing in the world in Louisiana. It makes zero sense but that’s how I feel.

LSU’s home slate is over and I have nowhere else to post this so here’s my thoughts:
1.) I hope to never see three straight home weekends ever again, let alone in September
2.) crowds were good, but peaked with the South Carolina game, weather was not good and neither was the team (unfortunately)
