I Hate New Orleans

in June, July, August and September. February is not so bad.

I can deal with ovens. (This is my first time spoofing another thread!) But it is how I misread the OP.

Try Savanna, GA in August. One day the heat index was 135! It was hard to breath, and truly felt like a sauna.

When I think of New Orleans I think of the movie "No Mercy" (1986 Richard Gere - Kim Basinger).

Been there in July a few times. It's brutal. But everyone needs to see it once.

My ass crack is still sweaty from the 2019 API conference there in June…

I was going to start a thread with this very topic but actually don’t hate New Orleans…

I just hate the French Quarter. I gotta say Lackland AFB in August wasn't much fun...but it was boot camp too.

All of my visits during Mardi Gras were as a youngin' with a group of buddies ... good call !
Jazz Fest was my calling card (not really a Jazz fan), but it's just an all types of great music extravaganza also in the clubs ... but alas .... it's all corporate now too . The French Qtr. is NOT my thing either.... but a first timer will likely think it's what Nawlins is all about .... it isn't.

All of the bands from there used to hit the road during the summer months... for a reason.

I love New Ovens

If I went there, sometime other than MG, could I still get some beads for my Civic's rear view mirror?

Hate is a strong word, but certainly not a fan. Unusually high concentration of poor decision makers.

^^^ read the first post.

It would have been 'I Love New Orleans' if someone didn't hate their new oven.

Me too, odd.

New Orleans. Only reason for me to go is 2-3 days of eating. I could see doing that some weekend a few years from now on the bucket list.

"This is like...Africa hot."

Well, this is Biloxi.




I reported to my new duty station at Ingalls Shipbuilding Pascagoula Ms. in August.

...they didn't say it was going to be that hot. OMG, the humidity.

Seems like all I did was sweat 24x7.

When you add the memories vs the cost, the net pheasant value is substantial.

Don't drink more than five Hurricanes. That's my rule.

I liked Alex Patout's restaurant before it closed in NO and the big storm took out his New Iberia location. It was especially tasty on big oil's dime.

I blame my heart bypass procedure on those two restaurants. Just sayin' - not for certain.
