The best time to go to New Orleans is around the first weekend of the NCAA basketball tournament. The weather isn’t oppressive yet, and you can roam around to various bars and pop in and out to check on games.

Pro tip: If you want to preserve bread, put it in the freezer, not the fridge. Not only can you toast it back to crispy-goodness levels, but you can make your sandwiches on frozen bread to prevent sogginess.

Fair enough. My Doctor Who point stands.

No, people who make a big show of how Doctor Who is their favorite TV show are being Anglophile jerkoffs. You know how some things are their own plural? Well, this is that.

No way. Apart from the fact that the standing rule that we all agreed to was “never root for Jerry Jones in anything for any reason,” you don’t get to praise (this is true no matter how much I hate the FEEEEHHHHKIN’ PAAAATS, BRO) Goodell’s ridiculous sham “investigation”/suspension of Brady for Ballghazi, then turn…

• How strongly attached to turkey are you? Pretty weakly. It’s fine.

If you have the Sapphire Preferred now, but don’t want to pay the annual fee, can you convert it to Freedom Unlimited and:

You’re catching on!

Insert obligatory strong plug for Instapaper. Especially when I’m at work, I send almost everything I want to read (but don’t have time to) there, then take time to read it later — say, on my phone at lunch. Allows me to minimize open tabs during the day, shut down my computer when I leave with little fuss, and forces…

“Random joe gets plucked off the street to hit 9th for the Padres, holds his bat straight out across the middle of the strike zone every at bat.”

I’ve never regretted an Eagle Rare purchase. Woodford is a little more expensive, but pretty tasty, and Four Roses is solid as well.

Obviously, at this point, talk show hosts were holding them responsible

This rival wouldn’t happen to be the Times-Picayune, would it? I know it’s not exactly a unique story, but the last bit about exporting the print/layout shop out of state rang too many bells.

Presumably via Charley Rosen.

• What’s your favorite salad green? Romaine is the #1, though spinach and spring mix-type stuff are good changes of pace, and kale is a nice accent sometimes.

*Nods in hearty agreement*

Many, many shouts to both The Italian Store (specifically the Capri) and the Central Grocery muffuletta. May or may not be a New Orleans native, transplanted to VA.

Airports that are really disappointing are ATL, MSY, DFW - you’d think Atlanta, New Orleans and Dallas would put a better food foot forward.

Not sure when was the last time you saw college athletes out and about on campus (that comes off much more dickishly than intended), but college-branded gear is basically...90% of the wardrobe. It’s part of the recruitment package. Requesting that protesting athletes leave LSU’s clothing out of it is a subtle-but-real…

I agree! Might have mis-represented my POV by who I replied to, but I was co-signing the sentiment
