NATIONAL GUMMI WORM DAY
Each year, National Gummi Worm Day gets a day of recognition on July 15 to honor a small candy that kids and adults love.
Gummy worms are green and red but come in a variety of flavors, such as sweet and sour! These creepy treats are one of the best-selling candies of all time. Gummi worms are inspired by the original gummi candy, gummy bears. Other sweet and sour gummy treats include snakes, peaches, and gumdrops, just to name a few.
While you can snack on gummi worms all on their own, they make great additions to desserts like dirt pudding and casket pie. You can also add them to your ice cream, parfaits, and beverages.

It takes about 600–800 grapes to make a bottle of wine. However, this number depends on the vineyard location, climate, type of wine grape, and vineyard terroir. Additionally, the number of grapes in the bottle is one of the many factors that affect the price of the wine.

Mean Girls - High School Version
Rivertown Theaters - Kenner, LA
Buy Tickets
The hilarious and poignant Broadway adaptation of Tina Fey’s cult teen movie that delivers sharp wit, catchy songs, and a powerful message about kindness.
July 11 - 21, 2024
Directed by Kelly Fouchi
Mainstage, Run time: ~2 hrs, Rated: PG-13
A high-energy and hilarious Broadway adaptation of the hit 2004 film. The show delves into the perilous world of high school cliques and the challenges of fitting in. It follows Cady Heron, a teenager who moves from Africa to the cutthroat social hierarchy of an American high school. As she navigates the treacherous dynamics led by the infamous "Plastics," Cady learns important lessons about loyalty, friendship, and staying true to oneself. With catchy pop-infused songs, clever lyrics, and witty dialogue, "Mean Girls" captures the zeitgeist of teenage life while offering a witty and satirical commentary on the damaging effects of bullying and societal pressures. This musical spectacle delivers a relatable and empowering message about embracing individuality and kindness.

Comedy House New Orleans
The most unique comedy show in New Orleans is The Open Mic From Hell, hosted by Chris Trew (as seen on MTV, Comedy Central, America's Got Talent)
CHNO ( Comedy house New Orleans)
609-610 Fulton St
New Orleans, LA 70130
Mon, July 15
8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
(Entry at 7:30 pm)
The Open Mic From Hell is the most unique night of comedy in New Orleans.
Everything about the show is chaotic and unpredictable in the most beautifully hilarious way.
The list of performers? A total mystery.
The jokes they’ll tell? Nobody knows, not even them.
How does it work? Comedians sign-up on the list an hour before showtime. At least 13 names get pulled out of the bucket.
When a name gets pulled they come on stage and make a choice - do they do an entirely new set based on words from the audience, or a special challenge set.
Past challenges have had comics doing their set outside on the street, with noise canceling headphones on, and with a designated heckler in the crowd. We are always adding new, improved, and ridiculous challenges to the show.

NATIONAL TAPIOCA PUDDING DAY
National Tapioca Pudding Day on July 15th encourages us to dig into this pudding dish enjoyed around the world!
Tapioca is a starch derived from the cassava root. While the root looks similar in shape and color to a sweet potato, in its natural form, cassava contains cyanide. However, grinding down the root produces a flour or powder used as a thickening agent. It may also be produced tapioca into pearls. Also known as manioc or yucca, growers cultivate cassava around the world. A part of the Euphorbiaceae (spurge) family, this woody shrub is native to South America but is also grown in Asia and Africa.
Once a staple in early American households, tapioca was dehydrated to survive long sea voyages without spoilage. In a dehydrated form, tapioca earns an extended shelf life. Cooks wanting to make homemade tapioca should plan ahead. Tapioca pearls must soak overnight before using them.
For those sensitive to gluten, substitute tapioca in place of flour as a thickening agent in recipes. Try it in recipes for pancakes, cookies, and other baked goods. Tapioca also provides an excellent source of vitamin B, manganese, and iron. Turn to tapioca if you're having trouble gaining weight or have a sensitive stomach. Tapioca is a gentle ingredient and helps to add healthy weight gradually.
For those who want to enjoy tapioca more quickly, minute and instant tapioca puddings make the process easier. Make a quick parfait with layers of fruit and whipped cream. It will definitely make a perfect celebration that way. However, we also enjoy tapioca in Boba tea, a Taiwanese tea-based drink.

Top 10 Bizarre English Words and Their Ancient Origins
English, being a language with a rich and varied history, has an abundant array of words that can make you raise an eyebrow or two. Some of these words have unusual meanings, others have peculiar pronunciations, and a few have both. Let's delve into the world of the strange and the bizarre, as we unearth the top 10 most peculiar English words and their ancient origins.
Quire
A quire is not a group of singers, but rather it refers to a measurement of paper. Specifically, a quire originally referred to 24 or 25 sheets of paper. The term hails from the Latin word 'quaterni', which means 'four each'. This was because during the Middle Ages, paper was an expensive commodity and would often be folded into four sheets.
Gobbledygook
Gobbledygook is a term we use today to describe language that is meaningless or hard to understand. It was introduced by a U.S. lawmaker, Maury Maverick, in the 1940s to criticize the overly complex language used in politics. The term was inspired by the sounds turkeys make, 'gobble, gobble', which to the human ear, is undecipherable.
Flibbertigibbet
A flibbertigibbet is a frivolous or flighty person. The term is derived from the Middle English 'flepergebet', which refers to a gossip or chatterer. It was later popularized by the play 'King Lear' by William Shakespeare, where a character named Flibbertigibbet was a demon of frivolity.
Brouhaha
Brouhaha, meaning an uproar or hubbub, comes from the French term of the same spelling. The French term is believed to have been derived from the Hebrew phrase ‘barukh habba’, which means ‘blessed be the one who comes’. The term was used in religious ceremonies, which often involved noisy celebrations, thus leading to its current meaning.
Lollygag
To lollygag is to spend time aimlessly or to dawdle. The word is believed to have originated in the early 19th century in the United States, possibly as a combination of the words 'loll', meaning to lounge or relax, and 'gag', an old term for a joke or deception.
Poppycock
Poppycock is a term used to express that something is nonsense or foolish talk. The word comes from the Dutch 'pappekak', literally translating to 'soft dung'. It was likely used to denote something of little value, hence its current meaning.
Skedaddle
Skedaddle is a somewhat humorous term meaning 'to depart quickly or hurriedly; to run away'. This term is believed to have originated during the American Civil War in the 1860s, though its exact origins remain unclear.
Lickspittle
A lickspittle is a person who behaves obsequiously to those in power. It originates from the Mid-17th century, from the words 'lick' and 'spittle', a term for saliva. The term paints a vivid, if somewhat unpleasant, picture of someone so subservient they would even lick up another's spit.
Snollygoster
A snollygoster is a shrewd, unprincipled person, particularly a politician. The term is believed to have originated in the 19th century, from a mythical creature used to frighten children. Eventually, it was used to describe crafty politicians, perhaps due to their ability to scare and manipulate the public.
Malarkey
Malarkey is another term for nonsense or meaningless talk. It's believed to have originated from an Irish surname, although its exact roots are unknown. Today, it is commonly associated with U.S. President Joe Biden, who frequently uses the term.
English is a language full of surprises. These ten words are just a sampling of the bizarre and unusual terms that inhabit our language. Though some of these words may not be in common use today, they offer a fascinating glimpse into the rich and varied history of the English language. So, the next time you come across a word that seems strange, take a moment to dig into its history. You might just uncover an intriguing story.

2024 Full Moon schedule
(all times Eastern)
- July 21 — 6:17 a.m. — Buck Moon
- Aug. 19 — 2:26 p.m. — Sturgeon Moon
- Sept. 17 — 10:34 p.m. — Corn Moon
- Oct. 17 — 7:26 a.m. — Hunter’s Moon
- Nov. 15 — 4:28 p.m. — Beaver Moon
- Dec. 15 — 4:02 a.m. Cold Moon
For instance, almost every month’s Full Moon boasts a name sourced from Native American, Colonial American, or other North American traditions, with their titles mirroring seasonal shifts and nature’s events.
Strawberry Moon (June): Marks the prime strawberry harvest season.
Buck Moon (July): Recognizing the new antlers on bucks.
Sturgeon Moon (August): Named after the abundant sturgeon fish.
Corn Moon (September): Signifying the corn harvesting period.
Hunter’s Moon (October): Commemorating the hunting season preceding winter.
Beaver Moon (November): Reflects the time when beavers are busy building their winter dams.
Cold Moon (December): Evocative of winter’s chill.
In addition, there are a few additional names for Full Moons that commonly make their way into public conversations and news.
Super Moon: This term is reserved for a Full Moon that aligns with the lunar perigee, which is the Moon’s nearest point to Earth in its orbit. This proximity renders the Full Moon unusually large and luminous. For a Full Moon to earn the Super Moon tag, it should be within approximately 90 percent of its closest distance to Earth.
Blue Moon: A Blue Moon is the second Full Moon in a month that experiences two Full Moons. This phenomenon graces our skies roughly every 2.7 years. Though the term suggests a color, Blue Moons aren’t truly blue. Very occasionally, atmospheric conditions such as recent volcanic eruptions might lend the Moon a slightly blueish tint, but this hue isn’t tied to the term.
Harvest Moon: Occurring closest to the autumnal equinox, typically in September, the Harvest Moon is often renowned for a distinct orange tint it might display. This Full Moon rises close to sunset and sets near sunrise, providing extended hours of bright moonlight. Historically, this was invaluable to farmers gathering their produce.

Mark your calendars for Sunday, July 21st, 2024 at 2:00 PM for this Coming to America Lecture.
Join us and listen as Burke Bischoff will present "The Familial History of a German Dairy Farm in Gretna."
The city of Gretna on the Westbank, originally founded as the village of Mechanikham in 1836, served as a home for many German immigrants throughout its history. While a good number of them lived as skilled mechanical workers, some became farmers. This is the story of one family that had developed its own dairy business in 1900 and has kept its roots in Gretna to this day.
Doors open at 1:00 PM. This event is FREE and open to the public. Ample parking is available at the rear of the building. Enjoy delicious German food, tasty beers and a full bar.
Prost!

LSU Athletics is proud to announce its year-long celebration of 100 Years in Tiger Stadium, highlighted by stadium upgrades, events, storytelling initiatives, and a season-long celebration throughout the 2024 campaign.
Tiger Stadium, one of America’s most iconic sporting venues, first opened its gates on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 1924. Since then, the Tigers have won 450 contests in Death Valley, which has been home to two Heisman Trophy winners, four national championship teams, and 12 SEC title-winning squads.
Included in the celebration are several upgrades to Tiger Stadium, including a new videoboard and lighting system, as well as other upgrades designed to enhance the game day experience. Other events and celebrations will be announced throughout the year.
The 2024 home schedule features several marquee matchups, including home contests against Oklahoma, UCLA, and Alabama. Information on the full 2024 schedule and season tickets will be announced in the coming weeks.
One of the most legendary stadiums in all of college football, Tiger Stadium has been called “the best place in the world to watch a sporting event” by ESPN and “the pound-for-pound king of noise in college football.”
Entering its centennial season in 2024, Tiger Stadium has been a cornerstone of LSU Athletics and the Louisiana community for almost a century, hosting numerous NFL superstars, Heisman Trophy winners, and Hall of Famers since its opening in 1924. It serves as a sporting, cultural, and commercial hub for LSU Athletics, which contributes an estimated $500 million of economic activity for the state of Louisiana annually.

The New Orleans Saints will host two open training camp practices for fans once they return from California later this summer.
The Saints announced Monday that the two sessions will take place Aug. 20 and Aug. 23 at Yulman Stadium at Tulane University and at Caesars Superdome, respectively. The times of the practices and fan information will be revealed later.
The announcement came as part of the Saints’ unveiling of their training camp schedule. With the Saints holding camp at the University of California, the Saints will leave for Irvine on Monday, July 22 and stay out west until Aug. 19.
When in Irvine, the Saints will hold two days joint practices with the San Francisco 49ers on Aug. 15 and Aug. 16 in leadup to their Aug. 18 preseason showdown at San Francisco. The Saints also have another preseason game a week earlier, when they travel to Arizona to face the Cardinals on Aug. 10.
The Saints are holding their camp in California this year because of construction updates to their practice facility in Metairie. The team is building a new cafeteria, which is expected to be completed in the fall. Saints officials have said the team’s camp in Irvine will be a one-off, with the plan to have camp at the team’s facility next year.
Practices begin Wednesday, July 24.

New Orleans: The New Orleans Jazz Museum is more than a building; it is a living embodiment of New Orleans Jazz culture and music in New Orleans. This is due to the vision of one person: Greg Lambousy, Executive Director of the New Orleans Jazz Museum.
Through Greg Lambousy and his staff’s efforts, the New Orleans Jazz Museum has become the epicenter of the New Orleans Jazz scene. From festivals like the Danny Barker Banjo and Guitar Festival, Satchmo Summerfest, Jazz on the Balcony, Weekly free Jazz performances, and the most significant exhibits relative to New Orleans and early Jazz history presented in the correct cultural context, the City of New Orleans.
To paraphrase the great Professor Longhair, “When you come to New Orleans, be sure to go see the New Orleans Jazz Museum.”.
Presentation, 7:30 PM, August 23 at the George and Joyce Wein Jazz & Heritage Center, 1225 N. Rampart St, NOLA. Free Admission RSVP preferred to: festguide@gmail
Greg Lambousy is the Executive Director of the New Orleans Jazz Museum. Before accepting this position, Lambousy was Director of Curatorial Services for the National World War II Museum. He began his career at the New Orleans Museum of Art and later moved to the Louisiana State Museum (LSM). During his twenty-year tenure at the LSM, Lambousy managed the institution’s collections of more than 500,000 artifacts and other historical items, directed improvements to collections storage at the New Orleans Mint, developed conservation and digitization projects across collections and within the Louisiana Historical Center archives, conducted oral histories and guided the selection and accession of materials related to the State’s history. Since 2016, as Executive Director of the New Orleans Jazz Museum, Lambousy has led the expansion of the Museum in programming, education, exhibitions, international relations, and the development of the Gallatin Street Records label. Visitation has increased fourfold since 2016, and revenues from grants, sponsorships, and events have funded operations, while capital programs have advanced the development of the Museum’s Performance Center and Herb Alpert Education Wing, among other aspects of the Museum’s campus.
