My place, last night. It snowed all night too, adding another 8 inches or so. I snapped this going out to the store for beer and ice cream.

Roku has added Al Jazeera English as a channel.

Unrelated, AT&T U-Verse is previewing all the Chinese channels for Chinese New Year.

In the latest survey of America's Favorite cities in Travel and Leisure magazine, New Orleans supplanted NYC at #1.

Topped their survey in Best Bars, Concerts, Bands, Singles Scene, People Watching. Swept the nightlife category, besting Vegas.

I agree with people watching and best bars. Wouldn't know about singles scene. Do not agree with bands and concerts (there is always live music but there's no much variety). I think it also topped out on best neighborhood bars and restaurants, which I agree with.

I've been to both in the past 2 months, and while I love New Orleans, it doesn't hold a candle to New York.

Different vibe altogether, but I could probably go the rest of my life without visiting NO and not miss it terribly (though I always have an awesome time when I'm there) but I would like to get back to NYC ASAP.

Well, as someone who has been to NYC over 20 times (most of my family lives there and has always lived there), I disagree. I think most people only see one part of New Orleans because that's what is known - the quarter,etc. How many times have you been to a neighborhood bar or restaurant in NOLA? Tons and tons of hidden gems. You could spend an entire weekend here and never see the quarter or warehouse district. Bywater, Mid-City, the Marigny, even Treme has a ton of bars and restaurants. That doesn't even include Magazine and Uptown.

It's not a knock on NYC at all.

Scatological Post of the day

This had me in tears.


It was a lazy Saturday, with nothing doing but the goofing off. The night
before had involved large amounts of beer and margaritas at the local
Mexican restaurant. For some unknown reason, I didn't get the Mad
Mexican Shits afterwards. This is totally out of character for me.

I started Saturday with an egg- and sausage-loaded breakfast with my
then-fiancé. After she left for work, her Dad Butch called and said he
wanted me to ride with him to look at some property on the river. I
decided to eat lunch in the car on the way.

Now, anyone that knows anything about fine cuisine will tell you that gas
stations are the best place for burritos and spicy chicken nuggets on the
planet. This day I had an abundance of both. I know what you are
saying: this is a sure-fire recipe for diarrheal disaster, especially
considering what else I had in my system. I knew that, and I reminded
myself of the impending doom as I placed my order, but I didn't let it
stop me.

Experienced poopers know the key to a successful poop life is to stay
close to familiar ground, so that you're always near a 'poop-friendly' zone
when it's time to drop brown. On this day, that was the second rule I
broke.

I had only been in the truck for few miles when the familiar gurgle hit
me. "This is going to be interesting," I thought. But, with years of
experience under my belt, I knew roughly how much time I had before it
would hit. I also knew that if it came to it, I could blow some stew in the
woods somewhere if I had to.

So we looked at the property, knocked around for a few minutes, and got
ready to leave. By this time my stomach was churning like an old washer
full of mud. I mentioned to Butch that I had to take a crapperoo and we
needed to be getting back soon. I don't think he quite understood the
gravity of the situation, but he chuckled and we left. A few minutes later
Butch tells me we are going to his friend's house to check on his
houseboat. I reminded Butch of the crapperoo, and he assured me there
was a bathroom I could use there.

Upon arriving, my internal muscles were working overtime. I think I
could have turned coal to diamond with the pressure I was exerting
trying to control the flow. A cold sweat broke out on my forehead, I felt
dizzy; the real countdown began.

The old house trailer was parked on a riverbank, surrounded by old
appliances and beer cans. A hand painted sign welcomed us to 'Boot's
Fishcamp'. We made our way down to the water where the boat was and
found four or five guys sitting around drinking at the dock. Butch
introduced me to Boot, and we toured the boat. Needless to say, I wasn't
interested. By this time the shit pains started affecting my speech
patterns, and my voice changed pitch. I grabbed Butch by the shoulder
and said, "Look man, I need to go NOW." He started laughing, and told
me Boot didn't let anyone in his place for any reason. "Where do people
go out here, then?" I asked.Boot had converted a storage shed into a
makeshift shitter by adding a toilet to the small, enclosed area. No sink,
no mirror; just a toilet. At this point, I didn't care. Butch informed
everyone of my situation, to which they all had a good laugh and made
sport of my advanced condition. As I made my way back up the hill, Boot
assured me he had just 'fixed' the plumbing.

But he hadn't bothered to fix anything else. The bulb was burned out, so
there was no light in there. The toilet was not bolted down properly, and
rocked. There was no paper. And it was August, so the heat in there was
unbearable. As I hit the door, my ass told me the fight was over -- no
matter where I was, I was about to launch. I flicked the light switch and
nothing happened. I shut the door and placed my ass on the seat in the
dark.

To say I took a shit is like saying Magellan took a boat ride. My ass
hurled a fluidic mass of nastiness that hit the water at breakneck speed.
Yes, there was an awful backsplash. I shifted as the first wave of the
wetjet hit me and shot a muddy rooster tail up the toilet tank. This was a
truly unbelievable shit. The funk exited my body with such force my ass
gasped for air between hurls. I moaned uncontrollably.

Then it was over. I felt around the walls, but couldn't find any toilet paper
to begin the wipe job. I sat there in the dark, shaking, dripping and
sweating, listening to the residue dripping, and flushed.

The bowl was half-filled already. The water that poured in was supposed
to suck the sludge down. Since it was pitch black in there and I needed to
do a major wipe job, I hadn't moved. I was wondering what was
happening with the water when I felt it touch my ass. I jumped up as it
started pouring out under the seat. I tried to run, but my shorts and
underwear worked as leg shackles, so I made baby steps towards the
door as the water chased me.

Opening the door to let the light in, I turned to see what damage I had
wrought. It looked like an explosion of Yoo-Hoo and sausage in there. On
top of that, add a gallon of egg drop soup and a smell from the beyond.
Water covered the floor around the toilet, full of a swirling brown mass. I
pulled off my underwear and cleaned myself with it. Then I wiped part of
the rooster tail and threw the underwear into the toilet. I realized that this
was a bad thing; I needed to get gone before Boot discovered it.

I headed down the hill to the dock. Butch was having a beer with the
guys. One of them asked me if everything came out OK, and they all
laughed. I told Butch we needed to go because I had things to do before
it got dark. As we walked up the hill to the truck, I told him what had
happened, and how we needed to get out before anyone found it. He
started laughing and yelled back down the hill, "Boot, you ain't worth a
shit as a plumber!" At that, Boot headed to the storage shed. As we
started backing up to leave, we heard him screaming cuss words at me.

Gotta agree with you. NYC is a great city but New Orleans is much more unique. I can understand how GAR would probably crave NYC more though living in Alabama.

Dear Mickey,

As you probably know, 1973 marks the 50th anniversary of Yankees Stadium and we are going to have a season-long Golden Anniversary celebration. We hope to mark the occasion on our Old Timers Day, Saturday, August 11, as well as on individual dates during the season.

We thought it would be interesting to learn from you what you consider your outstanding event at Yankee Stadium. In many cases the answer is obvious, but because we are writing a large number of your former team mates, we are asking you to answer this question for us.

1973 will be the final season at Yankee Stadium as we know it. We will be located at Shea in 1974 and '75 while Yankee Stadium is completely rebuilt to reopen in 1976.

Thanks for your cooperation. We are looking forward to seeing you in 1973 and wish you a happy holiday season.

Very truly yours,

(Signed, 'Bob Fishel')

December 14, 1972/m

Mantle's Response:
I consider the following my outstanding experience at Yankee Stadium:

— I got a blow-job under the right field Bleachers, by the Yankee Bull pen.

This event occurred on or about: (Give as much detail as you can)

— It was about the third or fourth inning. I had a pulled groin and couldn't fuck at the time. She was a very nice girl and asked me what to do with the cum after I came in her mouth. I said don't ask me, I'm no cock-sucker.

Signed: Mickey Mantle, The All-American Boy

I've lived in and visited NYC enough for the *magic* to wear off. The only thing I still love about the city (well, to be honest, among a lot of things), is the diversity of the city's beautiful women. They just look different than girls from other distinct regions in the US. I was there last month for business and finally had Katz' deli. It was good, but 9/10 times I'd choose over Katz' the Turkish kebab shop, Bereket, which is next door.

I'd much rather have Tanner or some other in the know local take me on a tour of NOLA, maybe Spring or late Fall so I don't sweat through my shirt the moment I walk outdoors.

we lucked into playing NOLA on one of our first self-booked peanut-butter-sandwich tours. our baton rouge show fell through, so we stopped at a kinko's so i could get on the internet (this was 2001) and look for shows. found one going on in a boxing ring in a dingy side of town, but the only contact info we could find was some guys email address. so i sent an email out of the blue and said "hey, we had a show cancel and we're coming out. if you can fit us on the bill, cool. if not, we'll just stick around for the show."

the promoter was totally cool, we ended up playing in a prime spot. a girl at the show took us all around the city afterwards and let us stay at her place. drove around the warehouse district, drunken horseplay'd in one of the above ground graveyards easy rider-style, went to a hole-in-the-wall piano bar with some old jimmy durante dude gravelly crooning to no one except us, saw one of the guys from Eye Hate God. it was one of the best times...

as for nyc, i still have 3 outstanding parking violations from 7-8 years ago..probably paid $400 for the privilege of parking in total, had 2 mirror knocked off the van by delivery trucks, trailer searched on a bridge twice, denied access to the holland tunnel twice, had our transmission spew red fluid out in front of CBGBs.

new orleans by a big ol' jimmy durante nose
