This thread is in very poor taste, but I admit that I have thought about a new "Escape from New Orleans" movie more than once in the last week.

I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -

The ruins of New Orleans would make a kickass Paintball/Airsoft arena . In fact , it can be subdivided into smaller maps - the city is just too big for one game .Comment

Re: GhengisFarb's Top 5 Things to Do with New Orleans
You mean, we get back the harbour at the end of the Missipi river, with an essential strategic oil infrastructure, for a mere 12 million €?Originally posted by GhengisFarb
1) Give it back to France and demand a refund.

Refund with interest! With interest!
And how about some punitive damages?

115,363,051€, inflation adjusted. I agree, there should be a bit of interest involved, though. And you should also tack on a payment to the native tribes it was taken from in the first place, which for purposes of efficiency you can just make out directly to the US as well."In the beginning was the Word. Then came the ******* word processor." -Dan Simmons, HyperionComment

UPDATE:
Hiya, on a quick pass so don't know what you guys have heard but here's an update on my info:
I MAY be going home around Sept 30. No definite info though.
My unit's been busting in doors, killing gangbangers, gathering dead bodies, manning checkpoints, and lots of other stuff. Huge battle between all the forces on our side and the gangbangers last week. Our group supposedly killed about 40+ of the gang members, but I didn't get any official number.
New Orleans is almost completely dry now. The pumps worked incredibly well. I talked an 85 year woman out of her house to be evacuated, some guy from the Wall Street Journal watched, got my name and said he was going to submit an article about it.
Got pictures and stuff I will try to post later when I get home.Comment
