I always wanted to do a self-indulgent rant about how I was leaving that 2% of TBers would care about. So I'm outta here. Forever. Or until a week from Monday, whichever comes first.
In reality I'm headed to New Orleans for a big convention for work. Which sounds like fun except that I'm giving over 40 presentations in 3 days (mine run Thursday through Saturday every half hour). And both my flights (Tuesday and Sunday) leave at 6 am.
If there are any N'awlins TBers that want to try to get together, give me a shout out and the first round is on me. |

Obviously, it won't be the same airborne trip your last visit was, but since you dumped Sophie The Lingerie Model I can be honest and say it wasn't you I was trying to impress. By the way, my meth dealer got busted, so that'll be a little harder to come by. Where are you staying this time?
Oh, and what are you doing bringing science into this state? I though we outlawed it.
