The most underrated part of a man’s wardrobe. Guys who have collar stays in their shirt are confident, while guys who forget to put them in are lost and frazzled. Its that simple.
I need a new suit, and I was somehow able to convince this absolute homerun of a snack that I’ve been trying to woo that she needs to tag along tomorrow. My plums are tingling.
As a seasoned veteran of Texas & Louisiana Mardi Gras (I live right on the border), St. Louis Mardi Gras sounds awful. Can’t bring your own booze? Cover charges? Can’t relieve yourself outdoors? No thank you.
I was in this boat last year for the first time in my 6 years of postgrad life, and buddy it was awful. Thankfully I’m staring down the barrel of a b-party in April where we’ll be staying at a snug little Airbnb right on the San Marcos River. My loins are quivering with excitement.
My city’s Mardi Gras parade takes place tomorrow, which usually means I’ll be blackout on the float tossing jello shots out to the crowd, much to the dismay of the parade organizers. *Bart Scott voice* Cant wait
Amen. My last gf had these same issues, which stemmed from being in several shitty relationships before I came around (I was 100% faithful). She wasn’t the controlling type, but had awful trust issues that always came out when she drank. She’d always accuse me of being into my buddies’ significant others, girls that I’ve been platonic friends with for many years, my ex-gfs before her, etc.; none of which were true. The first episode happened less than a month into our relationship on a trip with other couples I was friends with, which should’ve been a major red flag for me, but I’m an idiot. So naturally I kept dating her for over a year and a half after that, with the same issues popping up almost every time she drank, before I finally called it quits (after letting my frustrations be known many many times over the course of the relationship). The sad thing is that she is a great girl outside of her trust issues, which sucked, but I just couldn’t put up with it anymore. Get out, man – before you become even more invested in the relationship. Its not worth it if her issues keep persisting.
I know most folks around the county don’t get to experience it, but Mardi Gras is right around the corner. I don’t get any time off of work for it, but those first two weekends in February have been eagerly anticipated for months. Easily my favorite holiday during the year.
Can confirm – this will be my 2nd year in the non-profit realm (I work for a private operating foundation) after 4 years at a CPA firm. Glad I paid my dues early and got out with my mental and physical well-being still somewhat intact.

Don’t wear shoes you care a whole lot about in New Orleans
I’m not from the area but I used to date a girl that lived in League City – Hubcap Grill in Kemah was the truth.

Hubcap Grill?
Patty melt w/ grilled jalapenos or the A-1 Thicc ‘n Hearty (RIP) with grilled jalapenos are The Move.
I don’t know if I can agree here – the bread:meat ratio is way off.
Also, happiest of birthdays to the lil Homie

Just an absolutely electric reply
You gotta do better than “Here’s to hoping you have a joyful day!” after she puts it all on the line and hits you with a sup.

Narrator: It *was* just as obnoxious as this one.

Hailey is a prude who will never know what love is.

It me, restaurant gift card guy, and my personality is far from dynamic (name checks out). That said, I love this move, Bill. Absolutely electric.
