That's because once your kind comes in and eats crappy fried food, has a few hand grenades, and walks up and down Bourbon, you've done it all.

I think it should be mandated that New Englanders and Modwesterners spend a couple weeks in NOLA, Jackson, or Baton Rouge to complete their education.

Nah. You can hit the border of Louisiana from parts of S. Michigan in about 13 hours. Have another Budweiser.
