And here I thought they were trying to get you in on a cursus "Cooking with people"

So, is it advisable to roam or rebuild after an apocalypse?

It depends on whether or not the countryside has bushes.

No no no, it depends on the amount of drugs that are being dealed in the vicinity.

I have been invited, or at least informed of, a "humanitarian project" happening over spring break.

The club in question, and whoever wants to pony up $100, will be replacing lightbulbs (with energy efficient versions)...in New Orleans...over spring break.

Yep, legit.

So wait, you can pay someone $100 for the chance to change lightbulbs?

Question is whether or not said $100 covers travel and lodging and whether or not you want to visit New Orleans. It couldn't be a terrible way to spend a spring break if you've nothing else planned, right?

Well, you do know the real reason people spend Spring Break in New Orleans, right?

Does it involve going wild?

It involves people exposing their intimate parts to people in exchange for an item of jewellery that has a market value of about half a dollar.

An event which I've always assumed was an allegory for the exploitation of native American trading practices during the colonial era.

Mardi Gras is infamous. New Orleans is one of the only municipalities in America without open container laws, and so every Fat Tuesday, thousands of college students wander down to get unbelievably wasted and flash themselves in return for plastic beads.

Fucking Mosquitos, kill them all. Indiscriminately. Anything that lives off Mosquito can either do without, or die and let evolution get over it.

Last time I checked, mosquito control was actually the single most expensive public expense to my town, having more than double the funding of the police force.

And damnit if you still get bit sometimes.

You've put more thought into this than anybody actually involved.

I have never heard of this.

Which part, the New Orleans Mardi Gras tradition, or it's possibly allegorical nature.

The former, and as a consequence, the latter too.

I made a sandwich upside down on accident, which led me to question how a sandwich could possibly be upside-down. This made me realize that every non-hamburger sandwich I've seen in my life has been made in the order of (from top to bottom): Bread, mild condiment (mayo), small vegetables (olives, onions etc.), large vegetables (lettuce & tomatoes), cheese, meat, spicy condiment (mustard usually), bread.

I then realized that before sandwiches existed, somebody probably had to sit down and figure out the best possible way to arrange ingredients on a sandwich, which spread throughout all of society and became the de facto norm for putting a bunch of random crap between pieces of bread.

It bothers me that there is somebody, somewhere in the world making a sandwich in the "wrong" order, possibly even as I type.

Funny, because I have seen pretty much every burger I've ever eaten prepared in the opposite order.

The first thing I thought of upon hearing this was that one could make money selling those beads.
