Oh yeah? Then why don’t they host Mardi Gras?

“A day without wine is like a day without sunshine.”
We’re officially calling shenanigans on those yahoos over at Forbes. The online magazine posted a list of America’s “hard-drinking cities” this week which somehow miraculously failed to name New Orleans. Their top city? Get this - Austin. That’s right, the one in Texas. Apparently that’s what happens what a bunch of rich white guys get together to publish a magazine. I’m convinced the conversation went something like this:
“Should we go to New Orleans?”
“New Orleans? Don’t they have Bla… uh, African-Americans, like, out on the streets and everything there?”
“Good point. Let’s stick to Texas.”
In our defense, Katrina scattered our alcoholics all over the nation, and not all of them have made it back. YET. You may have foiled us this time Austin, but come next February 24, we DEFY you to cram as many drunken revelers in one city block as we can fit into a drunk tank! That’s right! New Orleans forever! Wooohoooo! :chug:
