The most common reaction is wanting me to cook for them. Then they want to hear alligator stories. I oblige.

They also assume I drink an unhealthy amount.




































And they are correct.

Once when I was in Vancouver I told a clerk that I was from Louisiana. The only thing he knew about the state at the time was:

-Mosquito virus outbreak
-Derrick Todd Lee
-LSU killed ND

varies. Usually they respond in a way that makes me think that they assume I run around flashing people in a drunken haze on Bourbon street. That was the impression given me when I attended school in Georgia.

I find that this stereotype has been replaced with the "We live on the swamp and eat gator all day everyday" one.

I once had a girl in Denver tell me how my last name was pronounced, which was wrong of course, when I corrected her she insisted she was right because her cousin lived in Lake Charles

I get this a lot too: "I met this really cajun guy once that lived in Shreveport"

No, no you didn't

along with do you know him?

I tell people I'm from New Orleans. Don't want to take a chance at being lumped in with North LA folks or coonasses.

Two years ago - "Do you know the Swamp People?"

Now - "Do you know the Duck Dynasty people?"

Me: "I'm from Louisiana"

Common responses below:

O, do you like, go to New Orleans for mardi gras every year?

Have you ever hunted alligators?

Do you know (insert person from reality tv show here)

Why don't you talk like the guys from swamp people?

Is it true that you guys have drive through liquor stores?
