    Basically tourists are approached by someone on the street and coerced into taking a bet that goes along the lines of "bet I can tell you where you got your shoes", most people don't think much of it and think it's funny or that there is no way that the person could guess so they agree. The scammer proceeds to say, "well you got them on your feet on the street in new orleans" which technically isn't wrong. The tourist is then asked (sometimes not so politely) for the money.

    Technically it is wrong though. Got is the past tense of get, so where you got your shoes is past tense, not present. Give a little grammar lesson to these chumps and demand the money from them.

    I'd like to go on record as a Saints fan and just say that I absolutely hate that chant! It's like let's advertise our inability to speak correctly!

    The B&M I stopped at yesterday (the one closest to me) didn't have any left. I may be able to get to the other reasonably priced one this weekend but I'm not sure since I'm going to be pretty busy. I'll update later if I can...
