We do not have the "napoleonic code" we have a civil code that is based off of French and Spanish law. There's a difference.

They have drive through liquor stores in Texas. But you can not walk into a 7-11 and buy a fifth of vodka.

I met this guy from Las Vegas in Santa Barbara ranting about how shitty California was because you couldn't buy liquor from 2-6 am. Like I'm thinking about buying liquor at that time of day...

They seemed dumfounded when I told them most of us live in cities. The response in Boston when i said "no we don't have pet gators" was "oh really...that would have been wicked cool if you guys had them".
This was way before all the shows that portray Louisianians as swamp people...now I imagine the stereotype is even worse.

One of my brother's best friends growing up had a pet gator. His mom owned several small businesses and was a real estate agent while his father was a successful high school football coach and later a middle school principal. They had a gator living in the pond in their front yard.

Another one I always found cool is that we have 4 of the 15 longest bridges in the world.

I can vouch for this. In Toronto, I had someone go, "Louisiana, isn't that between Mississippi and Georgia?" When it occurred to me that he was talking about Alabama, I wanted to throat punch him.
Louisiana... like a soupier Alabama.

this creole royalty thing is pretty funny...kinda like all the Africans who trace their roots to kings and queens..a Creole is a mixed race/ethinicty...that what a Creole is..if you don't want to be that, fine, don't tell people you're a Creole, but to pretend you're some kind of faux prince is just silly
Actually no, he's right. Creole is not a race just like Hispanic isn't technically a race. There's still people in Latin America with blonde hair and blue eyes. Most of the people who claim it are mixed race, but there are full blooded frenchmen.

World War 2 Higgens boats were built in Louisiana. Also Nazi sub-marines were sunk near the Louisiana cost during WW@.
Most La people don't know that

quote:
Despite popular belief (and Stanley Kowalski's brief explanation in the Tennessee Williams play A Streetcar Named Desire) it's incorrect to say that the Louisiana Civil Code is, or stems from, the Napoleonic Code; rather, the two law codes stem from common sources. Although the developing Napoleonic Code strongly influenced Louisiana law, it was not enacted until 1804, one year after the Louisiana Purchase. The main source of Louisiana jurisprudence may in fact be Spanish.[2][3] Currently, the Louisiana Civil Code consists of 3,556 individual code articles.[4]
