You may recognize me from such places as #NOLAtwitter.

You may address me as Sir El Spotto, as befits my status as a Knight of the Sovereign Military Order of Sealand (OMS), or you can just call me El Spotto. It ain’t that big a deal.
It’s the same picture dot meme.

Why are you wearing the dog in your head like a hat? That’s why you’re hot and swea…oh wait, there she is. Hi sweetie!

Chipped a tooth at Thoth. That only happened once before I learned. 🤣

Ooh la la! you bought the fancy luxury Mardi Gras ticket. 😂

I don’t even want to talk about my two good friends in Endymion. By the time their almost last float gets to me and their families at the top of the route they are drunk and winging things at us like there are points in the line for bruising.

Not with that sword wielding bodyguard.

I see the miller lite…

The trees are a problem. But a happy one. I is usually didn’t take a chair uptown, but then again I had easy parking because I took my scooter. Bungeeing a chair to the seat was always a bit dicey.

So…they gonna back those cars up a bit for Thoth or what? That krewe can and does wing things half a block away.

See also: my last post about engineering of flat pack furniture and what I’m going to need to do to make it structurally sound. Before this job both Apple and Starbucks were mechanically inclined jobs. My tools get lots of use on the block because I’m always happy to help.

If when I did the numbers I found a way to afford a house on what I was making, I would still be there. Yes, it is good being just a few hours from my stepdad since mom passed, yes my neighbors are about as New Orleans as can be without being there but…it ain’t there.

I am still contemplating taking a sledge hammer to it, but it is the size I need and looks good. So I’ll probably go get some 90° brackets and shore it up a bit.

How do you think I ended up in small town NC, sir?
🤣😂

(My New Orleans pay went farther and I knew I was smack in the middle of territory served by the 5th largest system that uses my software certs.)

Um…that’s bad.

That’s easy. To prolong the onset of boneitis.

I see you have a throw magnet. Best of luck fitting everything in the car afterward.

“Generic drugs are un-American and are driving drug costs up. If you want to save the 1500% I promised, you need to use quality name brand drugs on my program that totally isn’t feeding me a commission.”

My ancestral homeland on one side of the tree.

It’ll take a miracle.

That one feels like a stunt reel from a low budget 70s/80s action movie. I absolutely love it.

Special shoutout to the Quebec flag making an appearance 1/2 way in.

I show up at a superb owl party
And you have a yogurt bar I am laughing in your face and going to the bar for wings.
February 8, 2026 at 7:34 PM
I’m in. I’d go to that bar.
