I was there for the 1st UF football National Championship. It was a good time.
Mufalettas are terrible sandwiches. Who the fuck wants olive salad, relish, whatever that shit is...on a sandwich??
And the aquarium is badass.

And the aquarium is badass. Never had one but I love olives and the meats on it. Could probably do without the sesame seeds on the bun though. Might have to try one one day.

Been to Mardi Gras, Junkanoo in the Bahamas and many Fantasy Fests in Key West. I really don't have any desire to re-visit any of them. I guess I am officially a old fart.

You have to get some beignets!
Don't confuse that with a bidet.

Ya, drove the length of Louisiana. Starting to think we got the short end of the stick on that purchase.
Then got stuck in the seventieth level of hell called Houston traffic. Holy fucking hell.
Rolled into San Antonio around 8:30. Ate a big steak , couple stiff bourbons, and enough beer to make my teeth float. Alamo first thing in the AM
Then BBQ in Austin and Nephews house in Dallas.

Road trips are awesome... if you want to give your son a seaplane "intro" ride, I have a buddy in Temple that does them. Or, across from his hangar is the "Shoot pigs from a helicopter with a minigun" outfitter. (kidding about the minigun, but I think full auto is an option)
Took my daughter on a 5000 mile road trip across the country, stopped and ate everywhere, surf lessons in Huntington Beach, 1hr aerobatic ride in Texas, Drinking and gambling in Vegas, Boulder dam, Death Valley and more.

Never made Mardi Gras in New Orleans but did make the one in Mobile. Junkanoo is unreal. Hard to explain the atmosphere. You just have to be there. I don't remember a lot about Key West but it was fun.

We do the quarter in the daytime. After all, you can't say you've been drinking all day if you don't start at breakfast! The amateurs come out after dark in the quarter. Don't need that in my life. We hit it hard all day long, have a good dinner and head to the hotel to watch the crazy from the balcony. We try to never step foot on Bourbon St. Too many other good spots. If you get a chance, head over to Magazine street and catch a few sets of live jazz at the Spotted Cat. That bar puts the capital D in Dive! If you want a really good place to see the Quarter from, head to the Royal Orleans hotel. They have a hidden rooftop bar with 360 degree views of the Quarter and the mighty Mississippi. As said, the WW2 memorial is awesome. Oh, always wear closed toed shoe's in the quarter. You'll thank me for that one...

I went to Mardi Gras in 1970. It was very interesting. I had a great time.
I never wanted to do it again.

Mardi-gra has nothing for my taste of fun things to do. I stay away from drunks and revelry that by all appearances are just to fleece the tourists. I’m a grump I guess, that enjoys the quiet and the sounds of Mother Nature. However, I am so glad for anything that draws folks away from my side of the earth😉

I enjoy having a few friends over to BS and have a few drinks at my home but I have no desire for the crowds anymore.

I love olives.. on pizza, salads in a martini or by themselves. I tried a muffuletta once. It didn't work for me. Italian sandwiches are meant to have lettuce, tomatoes, onions, oil & vinegar. Its the same as a Chicago style hotdog. Who puts tomatoes and pickles on a hotdog?

I like olives, if I’m eating olives. I don’t care for them in, or on other food. I can’t think of anything that I thought was better with olives. I just find them too overpowering. I will occasionally cram a couple into my beer bottle though. So there’s that.
