So uhhhh....I took these photos like a few months ago, but debated whether or not I should post them.

I went to New Orleans for a week or so and here are some animal photos since that’s what I like to take photos of the most.

Gabbin’ About Gambling Season 4: Week 2

Welcome to the world’s longest running transparent gambling column about successful drinking and wagering failure.  So I have decided to remove my preseason future bets from the running total, that way you can see the progression in gambling each week. As of writing Thursday morning at 9:45am I am unsure if I am up on last week. I started with $88 but immediately allotted some amount to season bets.  If you are doing math at work people assume you are working. 

Season starting balance: $88.31.  Week 1 gambling account balance: $48.31 Week 2 gambling account balance: $46.95 Wait, I did well last week how the fuck did I lose money? 

disclaimer: I couldn’t find my wallet the other day and I almost had to call in sick to work. It was in the washing machine. 

Week 1 Results

Caveat, I was too excited for college football on day 6/8 of a bender. Much of the gamblings are a blur, I drank away my gambling discipline. 

Started out flying. 

But then the 6 days and a morning of drinking caught up to me. 

Fuuuuck. 

Losing money to the success of two hated teams is no way to end a gambling weekend, that’s a Disenchantment level of disappointment. 

But luckily an angel in greasy hobo form descended into the RTARL comments and saved me. 

Week 1 game ball goes to: Greasy Hobo

Week 2 Gambles

When in doubt bet against Kansas. KC Res has been trying to direct me against Kansas for years now. Usually this fucks up when I attempt it. 

Go MAC! 

Speaking of Kansas: 

Miss St has a fantastic defense, Nick Fitzgerald is back in his first game. 

S E C. 

Uh so I took a true freshman in the his first road start against against an in conference rival and didn’t take the points? Why? 

So this is my Liquor Forward Wager of the Week. (0-1). 

Hawaii is fun, Rice is a bunch of Texas ass nerds who suck at football. It will be midnight and I will be mixing tiki drinks watching what could be college football’s most entertaining offense.

Other Bets I am Bet Curious About

Frankly the modern US Army -9 always destroys liberty.  Iowa -4 over Iowa St but who wants to watch that? Clemson -12.5 over Texas A&M but I already have the under on aggie wins. ArkanSEC -14 over Colorado St. 

Drinking News

I will be in New Orleans from September 24 to October 1st, I already have my flight and Ole Miss at LSU tickets. South 422  Row 14 | Seat 3. Would like some bar recommendations and neighbourhood recommendations, haven’t booked a place yet. I arrive Tuesday night at 10pm so the plan is to drink all night in the 24 hour bars and check into a place in the morning.
