	GhengisFarb's Top 5 Things to Do with New Orleans Get a bigger avatar today!

Top Five Things the US can do with New Orleans:
(Once the city has been evacuated and the refugees are being properly taken care of in a loving and caring way.)

5) Call Kurt Russel and begin filming "Escape from New Orleans."

4) Contact Busch Gardens and get a bid to convert the city into the world's largest Seaworld.

3) Just rename the city Atlantis and call it a day.

2) Gather up all the left over toys from the Sponge Bob movie and see if they'll soak up all the water.


And the top thing the US can do with New Orleans.....


1) Give it back to France and demand a refund.


(I know its a horrible troll and I apologize. This is simply humor in extreme bad taste and in no way to be taken as serious suggestions of what we would wish to do with New Orleans.)

I have been really suprised at how much French speaking people were offended by the number 1 option. Its not supposed to be a horrible slam on France, people.

Don't worry about offending people from New Orleans. I doubt they have internet access at the moment.

Yeah, I love CNN's forward thinking. "Are you a survivor of NO and want to let your loved ones know you're okay? Go to CNN.com and let them know!"

The original was a Hubble image of the Sombrero Galaxy, rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise; two and half years ago, for X-mas I asked someone to overlay it with something X-mas-y. It hasn't changed since.

The ruins of New Orleans would make a kickass Paintball/Airsoft arena . In fact , it can be subdivided into smaller maps - the city is just too big for one game .

You mean, we get back the harbour at the end of the Missipi river, with an essential strategic oil infrastructure, for a mere 12 million €?

115,363,051€, inflation adjusted. I agree, there should be a bit of interest involved, though. And you should also tack on a payment to the native tribes it was taken from in the first place, which for purposes of efficiency you can just make out directly to the US as well.

UPDATE:

Hiya, on a quick pass so don't know what you guys have heard but here's an update on my info:

I MAY be going home around Sept 30. No definite info though.

My unit's been busting in doors, killing gangbangers, gathering dead bodies, manning checkpoints, and lots of other stuff. Huge battle between all the forces on our side and the gangbangers last week. Our group supposedly killed about 40+ of the gang members, but I didn't get any official number.

New Orleans is almost completely dry now. The pumps worked incredibly well. I talked an 85 year woman out of her house to be evacuated, some guy from the Wall Street Journal watched, got my name and said he was going to submit an article about it.

Got pictures and stuff I will try to post later when I get home.
