Pirogue's Game Room

[Turner]

This is very cool and very frustrating, but only because I am jealous. What is that pave our lake thing?

That is a joke bumper sticker from Dixie Building Materials in New Orleans... In a bit of history, they were awarded a potential contract to form man-made islands that would be sub-divided, sold and the money would be used to form a series of bridges connecting the southshore [Metairie] to the Northshore [Mandeville]... the idea was scrapped in favor of what we today know as the "Causeway"...
It was a joke making fun of the "Save our Lake" campaign stickers, the joke was considered "extremely" political incorrect and met the same fate as the man-made island project.
The stickers are sort of a hard-to-find novelty in the New Orleans area.
I was asked to remove it from the wall of my office as it might offend customers.

Imagine that. But it is part of my collection, and has found a home in my game room, a game room doomed if I ever hear the words... "We're having another baby..."

Great collection, very impressive

"Save our Lake"

That is a relief, I thought someone wanted to pave Cypress Lake, I was in shock.

Happy anniversary.

You'll be happy to know that Paul's Pirogue was the site of CDeb and JDeb's anniversary dinner. We were not disappointed, although we didn't get to see Jo-Ann.

Thanks for the plug
Any truth to the rumor that you are headed to the left coast?

I didn't realize there was a jersey in that picture.

It's a possibility that I'd put slightly better than 50/50. But it's Bakersfield, which is politically similar to Lafayette.
