I attended grade school at St. Anthony of Padua on Canal Street across from Beauregard High School. Then went on to St. Aloysius High School on Esplanade Ave. Anyone out there remember those?
I'm happier than a pig in s__t...a foot on the sand...and a Belikin in my hand!

My years in New Orleans...84-88, remain one of the best experiences in my life. I still value many friends from New Orleans...great place-great people. My favorite dish can be found at Felix's Oyster House in the Quarter...Oysters in Brouchette. Oysters, Canadian Bacon, and French Bread...battered, skewered and fried. The blocked arteries are only a minor consequence.
Gone fishing!!

Felix vs Acme . .the great debate!! I gotta go with you on this one, Bill!! But a tough call .. still our best meal in NOLA was at the Bistro at the Maison de Ville . . escargots in a garlic sauce wrapped in phyllo . . to die for!!

...again, the blocked arteries?? PS. I tried Felix's first...haven't found it necessary to change. Rumor has it that Acme has a great Oyster Poorboy. PSS. If you love New Orleans...I will excuse your affiliation with the Jayhawks. PPPS. Quantrill didn't go far enough!!!!

Once a border ruffian, always a border ruffian, right? Hey, I got no problem with Mizzou .. they've paid this Jayhawk's bills for the last 23 years. It's made for some great workplace controversy!!

...my advice, sir, head on over to Popeye's for the red beans and rice. Their red beans and rice are really good...second only to Copeland's which includes smoked sausage.
