If You Had a Billion Jillion $$$, Where Would You Sit?

The Dude · 07-22-2011, 06:54 PM

If I had a million jillion dollars I would be too busy traveling, eating at restaurants, and seeing the world to worry about going to football games. I would just have the local movie theatre in the place I was visiting broadcast the game on the screen come game day. If you think I would waste my time hanging around this ****hole you are dead wrong.

Why not just have it in your jet. With that kind of money you could have one of those jumbo super cruisers that they use on those int'l. flights...only strip all the seats out of it and insert your own furniture. Part of that furniture, of course, would be the largest screen TV you could fit in there with DTV from a dish on top of the plane that automatically tracks the DTV satellite.

I'm with you, though. I've been to the Superdome enough...however if I were in town I'd have the largest luxury suite available...or better yet buy someone out...you know...make 'em a deal they can't refuse...and that's where I'd sit when I was in town. Of course...I'd be in town if we were playing a home playoff game.

I love it, and was born and raised herebut you have to admit, if one had the money to spend to see the world NOLA would look like a ****hole comparativly speaking. It has more of an upside than a downside, but face it the city leaves alot to be desired. Until the crime rate, political corruption, and unemployment rate changes I will continue to think so. I am waiting on a liquor license that has not been signed off on because the DA who must sign has a son who is a competitor and every day he drags ass on signing benifits him. Try to own a business here after owning one somewhere else and tell me that there is not a major problem. Just because one believes the state of the city is in shambles making it a ****hole does not mean they are anti Saints or anti NOLA.

You do realize the rest of the world COMES TO New Orleans to visit, right? (and the hotels aint cheap.) I think if it was a true sh**hole, they would stay home. I see beauty and culture and life in N.O, and I think NOLA is worth preserving. (I'm not saying you dont, I'm just emphasizing a view.)

All cities are sh**holes in places, and have government crap to deal with. You should see the Rubber Tool that runs Houston, and the pile of regulation my neighbors have to deal with to do business here. Not to mention traffic, noise, crime, chickensh** red light fu****g cameras, and police that do nothing but sit on the side of the road all day writing tickets & ruining people's day.

Its 400 degrees here, and it smells like garbage. Sound familiar? At least you have those giant sprayer trucks that wash the street. Just wait till the population of Mexico reaches you.

Now what Houston does have is a rocking economy. If you cant find a job in Houston, you just dont want to work. Its cheap rent, and everything you'd ever possibly want to do. And anyone who says Houston "has no culture" is just as ignorant as the tool who says N.O. is "a bunch of looters." The theatre scene here is 2nd only to NYC. we got all that art crap here, and art people etc.

Its all what you make it.

Europe aint no better than us, and I know Chicago, NY, LA, MI, etc are just as bad.

What you might consider, is moving to the country. Im a few paychecks away from doing just that. But I'm still gonna hang out in New Orleans a lot.
