Wherein I venture into the Tigers' den at an LSU game

Q. ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?!?!??!?!

A. No. I am pretty much never ready for some football. However! I was easily lured by an offer presented by a regular commenter on this blog, vl100butch, to experience an LSU football game from an insider's perspective. Other than eating some specially prepared little maritime critters, which I am also not ready for, this seemed the essential Baton Rouge experience. And that's how this avid sports detractor went willingly to her first sporting match in, oh, probably over 15 years.

State Fair: Blogging Platinum

So, I went to the Greater Baton Rouge State Fair on Sunday, fully expecting it to be a jackpot of Blogging Gold. As you can see by the title, it wasn't quite as ridonkulous as predicted, but still pretty amusing for the cityfolk likes of myself.

Road Trip: Kicked in Deez Nuts by History

I believe it was during a trip to Ireland or Scotland that one of my friends compared it to being kicked in the nuts by history. Perhaps the sentiment could be phrased more eloquently, but the same is true of my road trip through the Southern states back down to Baton Rouge. Only it wasn't just learning about history while visiting the sites. Some of this trip was like actually traveling back in time. Other parts of the trip involved laughing at yahoos other cultures, of course, or just place names such as Bucksnort, Tennessee, but regular readers were probably expecting as much.
