For The First Time Ever, The City of New Orleans Have Greased The Poles On Bourbon Street Because Philly Fans Are Out Of Their Damn Minds
Imagine how this meeting must have went. You've got the mayor, the police chief, probably the fire chief. All these high ranking folks sitting together in a room trying to figure out whether or not they should rub some Crisco all over their 200-year-old light poles on Bourbon Street. Imagine someone being in that meeting who wasn't a big sports fan. They'd have no idea about the context behind greasing the poles, and here they are debating on whether to spend city funds on rubbing cooking grease on the light poles.
Why?
Well because a bunch of deranged lunatics from the city of Philadelphia are in town to watch the Eagles play in the Super Bowl. And if they win? These sick freaks have an instinctual urge to climb atop of the poles in the city to celebrate. And you can't afford to have these mutants accidentally tear down all the antique light poles in your city. You need to take preventative measures against the folks of Philadelphia, and so far it appears that cooking grease is the only effective defense.
Now obviously I have to mention here that there is the sad and unfortunate reality that a Temple student lost their life after falling from a pole after the NFC Championship Game. So hopefully Philly fans can start to move away from the tradition of climbing the poles to avoid any other tragic losses like that.
But the fact that New Orleans had to come to this decision is still incredible. And it just goes to show that Philly has completely overrun the city of New Orleans this week. Go Birds.
