Upvote if you have no idea what OP is talking about and google didn’t give answers.

If you split the pole in the center of the mirror labyrinth at city park and wait a fair amount of time for the talking nutria, he'll lead you through the Monk Runs to the old baker on his way, but don't dawdle because he's late to the white rabbit's fais do do

For funsies, I did an exact term search for “old baker moment” on Google and this is the first instance of that phrase ever being written on the internet

SchrodingersMinou · 2021-10-27T00:04:29+00:00

You're right. This city is full of transplants who like to talk a big game like they know the old baker moment, posting on Instagram like they really went through without a guide, but they're full of shit. Oh, you think you can get through the Monk Runs without a map? Prove it. Bring back a candle from the shrine at the Squire's Fountain, you piece of shit.

Sounds like someone gave one the Irish skeletons under West End Blvd internet access and a Reddit account. Nice.

Is this a drug thing?

Zelamir · 2021-10-27T04:20:12+00:00

Uh, if it wasn't a thing it is now.

Saving this post and printing it out the next time I tripping on shrooms. Gonna get some yarn and a thumb tack board ASIP style.

Still won't know what the fuck is going on ... Maybe.

MindOfMinutia · 2021-10-27T04:34:15+00:00

Too many misunderstandings in this thread... No one satisfyingly addressing the old baker moment and its relationship with the Monk Runs. Will do it all myself.

Girthw0rm · 2021-10-27T04:11:38+00:00

This brings back so many memories. My father telling me about Monk Run from his youth (yes, it was singular back then). Him carrying two slices of toast (LMAO).

When it was finally my time I THOUGHT I knew all I needed to know but The Elevation Change ended up fucking me in the end. So humbling and yet liberating.

The more things change, the more they change. We can’t dwell in the past.

as a person living in West End area, do I need to be concerned about the Monks Run?

Nothing to see here. All perfectly above board. My office will handle any inquiries.

I'll be writing a book to better explain what I mean.

If you can’t get appreciate the old baker moment or get through the Monk Runs without a guide then honestly that’s kind of pathetic for anyone with even a superficial knowledge of waterfowl behavior.

You need a totem to take with you while roaming The Monk Runs to freshen your understanding of the old baker moment. I prepared mine by gathering mardi gras gutter fluid from several years in a small vial. In The Runs I would dose a piece of leidenheimer bread with it and raise it to my nose/mouth and drink deeply of it's scent. Works best with a bloody nose.

DullRelief · 2021-10-27T04:19:19+00:00

I hope your old baker typewriter gets fixed soon and you’re back on Frenchmen before the next Monk Run.

tim_mcmardigras · 2021-10-27T10:17:53+00:00

I feel like I just had a stroke after reading this thread

oh my god the FLAIR

Grixxitt · 2021-10-27T07:41:22+00:00

OP figured out the name of the old underwater submarine racetrack. Haven't heard anyone even refer to that in years. Straight off West End is correct though.

On a side note, I hope they finally finish developing that whole area. Lots of good memories of the old bars and seafood restaurants that used to be.

As far as the culture, there's only one culture in New Orleans. Like Tennessee Williams said, there's only 3 cities in America, and we're currently under siege by Cleveland on all fronts.

(Except the lakeside, cuz we all know there ain't nothin that way but crabs and white flight.)

bananafest_destiny · 2021-10-27T00:18:07+00:00

Monk on TBS and (old Dusty) Baker moments?

gostahavit · 2021-10-27T18:24:47+00:00

I am so clueless rn😂

PorchFrog · 2021-10-28T19:55:00+00:00

I figured out the Monk Runs but not the baker moment.

frogsinarug · 2021-10-29T18:10:24+00:00

This whole thing is very Borgesian

Patricio_Guapo · 2021-10-27T00:43:11+00:00

hahaha, etc.

dumbinsidejoke · 2021-10-27T04:15:06+00:00

now THIS is interesting… it seems like at first he was just having a laugh but upon review I think he’s really touched upon a truth regarding the old baker moment in the city. It’s kind of like how the field turns in the autumn or how Monk Runs simply may not traversed without a greater understanding of the said baker moment. almost enlightment but not quite. almost fallow but I’ll bite… now THIS is interesting.

I hope you’re taking notes, young ones

and drop an upvote if this made you smile :-)

senjin · 2021-10-27T17:58:16+00:00

I think I had a dream about this exact moment

sirkindlyfuckoff · 2021-11-10T16:16:03+00:00

What OP is asking is how the Old Baker Moment relates to the Monk Run. The only way to get an invitation to particapate in the Monk Run is by finding the monastery and prepare a meal for the monks. The Old Baker Moment got its name because of the first person to go on this quest only had with him the ingredients for biscuits. When he finally found the monastery he was left with little to no supplies as he had to consume most of the things he brought on the journey. Lucky for him one of the portals took him into a swamp where he was able to survive on nutria rat until he could correct his calculations and get back on the right path. Anyway, when he finally discovered the monastery he had aged 20 years and was almost incoherent from exhaustion. The monks offered him a place to stay on the condition that he prepare a meal, with what he had with him, and share it with the monks. Lard, flour, and a few packets of sugar and salt, was all that was left of his supplies. He baked for them the most amazing biscuits they had ever tasted. They invited him to stay and join the monk run. Now everyone thinks they are the Old Baker and it is going to be their moment.

Isn't this a U2 song?
