Thread: NOLA - It Keeps You Runnin’

Why is it that crushed ice makes everything in life so much better? Probably because there’s rum in it.

Pat O’Brien’s where the hurricane was invented - tourist magnet and always packed.
I’ve never been further that the courtyard.

Good luck M7, may the loads be light and you #1 on the list. *wink*

Laissez les Bons Temps Rouler!

This one is for you D2

You know you're from New Orleans when...

The four seasons in your year are: crawfish, shrimp, crab and King Cake.

You assume everyone has mosquito swarms in their backyard

Your sunglasses fog up when you step outside.

You take Community coffee and Hot Sauce with you on vacation.

your last name isn't pronounced the way it's spelled.

"up north", refers to places like Shreveport or Little Rock, where it gets really really cold.

you didn't realize until high school what a county is.

you judge a po-boy by the number of napkins used.

you know what "dressed" means

you know the best doughnuts are square and have no holes.

when someone says magazine you think street instead of periodical.

you don't worry when you see ships riding higher than the top of your house.

every so often you have waterfront property.

you like you rice and your politics dirty.

you don't bat an eye when someone says, "make groceries, or "grind meat".

while watching a movie filmed in New Orleans you
say things like "there's no way you can run out of a cemetery onto Bourbon street"

your directions use terms like "uptown", "downtown", "backatown" and "across the river".

you always ask for a little lagniappe.

you don't keep newspaper for recycling, but for tablecloths at crawfish boils.

you think purple, gold and green look really good together.

out of state you ask for directions to the nearest drive-through daiquiri shop

and finally you know you're from New Orleans when you can pronouce Tchoupitoulas, Melpomene, Thibideaux and Dirgenois
