FWIW - the admin at my company spent a week and change in NOLA working with habitat for humanity. She reported that it's pretty dang heinous and everyone ended up crying at some point from the devastation.
When I was younger, (much younger) I once accepted a bet that I could go for three days during Mardi Gras drinking eating nothing but Hot Wings and drinking nothing but gin.
Sunday, Monday, and Mardi Gras day, I ate nearly 100 hot wings from KFC and drank two large bottles of gin (okay, I did mix them with Sprite and 7UP). It was not a pretty year for me. By Tuesday afternoon, my girlfriend was begging me to eat something else. At one point, I threw up, laid down next to my vomit and covered it with dirt like a cat.
