I kind of get (but still dislike) the various team jerseys. But different colored helmets? Do people buy helmets?

Wearing my Morstead jersey (#6) to the Saints game today but now I realize most people will think it's a Shough jersey. Ahh well.

Beignet Fest followed by Po-Boy Fest feels like NOLA satire, but it isn't. I remember the Levee or some humor site making a joke about the highly anticipated upcoming "Fest Fest."

Sorry, but that Parkway Thanksgiving poboy looks way too big and heavy. Glad it's for a good cause but I've never wanted to eat it.

I don't know why a politician needs to say anything at all about Dick Cheney. It's like Chap Stick saying they believe Black Lives Matter or Chuck E. Cheese wishing everyone a happy Memorial Day. Just...be quiet?

Dear phone bankers/campaign volunteers,
I know you're working off a script, but when you cold call me, can you say, "Hey, do you mind if I talk to you a little about XXX?" instead of just talking AT me, without pause, for several minutes straight? I'm instantly turned off.
Sincerely,
Voter

Still dumb, but I find the list did have some surprising additions and omissions. Commanders, for example, not making the list.
The NOLA Michelin star thing is so sketchy and so dumb. I'm sure Billy Nungesser paid the Michelin people a bunch of taxpayer money to get them to come do it, all in the name of "tourism." It's not like people don't already come here in droves for the food.

Saw some people and their kid with fake, clunky old school surveillance cameras strapped to their heads that said "PROJECT NOLA." The folks said they're dressed as "the scariest thing in NOLA." Well played.
