| #4 Thus a perfect name for New Orleans' remaining newspaper. Also a neat way of demonstrating the difference between worth and cost. |

| #3 Pic of Peggy from "Gun Crazy". The ORIGINAL "Gun Crazy", not the picayune remake with Drew Barrymore "acting"... |

| #2 Picayune, from French picaillon, meaning ‘old copper coin,’ originally referred to a coin of little value in Louisiana, especially New Orleans. The word is first recorded in 1804. “Near the green,” the dictionary quotes from 1819, “is a horizontal fandango of four wooden horses. . . . Upon these, children canter and circulate for exercise, by paying a half-bit, here called a pécune.” Picayune “belonged” to Louisiana throughout the nineteenth century, but by now, of course, picayune is a more common adjective meaning ‘of little or no account or value.’ |
