Mardi Gras is only one event of many held in New Orleans throughout the year. I'm not sure how things are faring post-Katrina, but pre-Katrina, there didn't even need to be anything special going on for, say, Bourbon Street to be jumping.

Even so, the point was that things just an interesting as pole dancing and what have you can and do happen in the South, which you said you doubt that it ever does. I should have known you would have tried to extrapolate the point into something else.

^ And I agree with what you are saying. I gave you a link on this topic that has already been discussed. So what are you arguing about?

Well, you live in Charlotte, so I'm sure you've seen FAR more interesting things in that city than NYC, lol. I don't think you're in other parts of the south 90% of the time.

Which I replied, you obviously have never heard of Mardi Gras. The things that go on there are insane, and a lot more entertaining than your ridiculous video.

I was not comparing festivals between any cities. But, you know..the ENTIRE south only has one cool event a year.

Let's try to keep up dear!

You're comparing ONE night to a place that has about 100 pretty interesting, entertaining subway performances a day.

You're getting ridiculous now. I don't have to be in other parts of the South 90% of the time to witness something just as or more interesting than pole dancing on a subway, ROFL!!! Oh yeah, that's right, I forgot that you've issued an edict to make sure that all things interesting cease and desist in other parts of the South when I visit.

No, I am not. I was proving your statement that these kinds of things do not happen in the south WRONG. I was using that as ONE example. Dense.

Ha! Yes, according to Rachael there is no interesting activity here. I must go out and find a pole dancing girl on public transportation in Houston. What have I been missing???

You people from the south crack me up. Your insults have nothing on us. Good thing nearly all the people I've met from the south aren't like you guys.
