Times have changed

I want to go to Natchitoches, which is where Hebert went to college, btw, and see some black and gold being worn. I'm looking forward to going to Cane River Mall, and seeing some Saints stuff for sale. I want to go to places like Many, Zwolle, or Pleasant Hill, and get Who Dat'ed.
I am seriously thinking of going to Mardi Gras in Mamou. I wonder if anyone knows where these places are?

I bet you had to look that up to make sure you were spelling it right...and pronouncing it is a whole different story. I grew up next door where we pronounced most syllables the way they were spelled...maybe with a little twang...but this one, if I'm correct, is pronounced something like...

nak a dish?

NSU in the house... home of the fighting, and I mean "fighting" Demon mascot (ever saw that video??? hilarious!)

I've never been to Leesville or any of those little "clubs" south of town where the army guys go. How would I even know about them? A friend told me. Obviously, some dude who looks like me was hanging around.
