Oh if it was only Graffiti!

never had your car break down?

For real, I hate Advanced Towing with a passion. I used to live across the street from them, right behind the Harris Teeter on Glebe. One of my neighbors would regularly call Advanced Towing whenever he didn’t get the parking spot closest to his apartment.

Holy crap. I clicked on the video and knew exactly where she is at (sign me up to be an investigative reporter, ESPN. I have a college degree, am in good shape, have all my teeth, and live in an apartment). Before everyone absolutely rags on Britt here, let me play devil’s advocate for just one second.

“DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?”

It’s really oxymoronic.....you make a living off of conspicuous consumption, but you don’t come off as a total popped collar asshole. Bravo sir, bravo—you’re a mystery, wrapped in an enigma.

In the NFL, winning > sexual assault.

“Got away with it for so long? This isn’t long at all, with the drinks and the long pants and the football and the pudding pops.....”

Yeah, I'll cosign this. I'm not from New Orleans, and I've only had two beignets in my life, and those were in Atlanta. But my understanding is they're mad from pate au choux, and that's not what prepared biscuit dough is. Also, I have had fried prepared biscuit dough, I used to work at a chinese restaurant that…

the way he conducts himself is a direct result of his addiction. i will always root for Josh Hamilton. He has not had it easy. And he has not made it easy for people to root for him. That’s the addiction... not the Josh Hamilton.

Maybe it's me, but it's hard to feel bad for a team that signed a recovering drug addict/alcoholic, with a long history of relapses, to a multi year, multi million dollar contract, who then seem shocked that he fell off the wagon yet again.

No, the way they're calculating it is by going off of median income. There's no rule that the median income is actually anywhere close to the cost of living.

I wonder how this would shift if we adjusted it from "what people are making" to "what we expect that lifestyle to look like." Your bills should be paid, you should be able to afford a roof over your head, and you shouldn't have to worry about where your next meal is coming from. I was well over the lower bound in the…

Also as a native New Orleanian, anyone thinking they can make a beignet that rivals Café Du Monde using premade biscuit dough obviously has lost touch with reality. There is a reason Café Du Monde has a line stretched down the street everyday of the year. Beignets are an art form. Not something that should be…

I would be interested to see how the median income required to be middle class in any given state differs from the median income required to be middle class in that state's major urban centers. For example, I feel as if the amount that would be considered "upper-bound middle class" in New York, would be just middle…

Lifelong New Orleans resident. My mom used to make these when I was a kid, trying to tell me they're the same as Cafe du Monde and talk me out of going to the quarter to get some. They are no where near as good. Not by a long shot.

"actually rival Cafe Du Monde's" - more or less impossible. sorry.

I have Waze on my phone but I don’t really use it for two main reasons:

Native Louisianan and I approve this message.

My grandpa always told me you can go broke buying every bargain you see.
