Just want to say that after 4 years in northmost Louisiana(wannabe Texas) and 5 years in West Virginia, I'm headed home.

I've tried to be an ambassador to the state, I've tried explaining the term coon arse to northerners ,and I have even tried cooking gumbo and jambalaya for the yanks, but I don't feel like you can see what South Louisiana has to offer unless it is your home.

I grew up in Iberville Parish and went to high school and college in Baton Rouge. I have spent many nights there wishing there were more to do, that it wasn't so hot, or that I wouldn't get car-jacked at the wrong Shell station, but one thing I hope everyone on here appreciates is that God has never made man as willing to help, comfort, or teach fellow man as He did a coon arse.

Long post short, I have been aching to come home since I have left, and I come home in 3 weeks, with every intention of eating, drinking, and reminiscing any chance I can get.

Geaux Tigers!

My wife has a job in Baton Rouge, and I have a shift job in Lafayette. So both places actually. Not ideal but better than 5 and 1/2 months of winter.

I have to agree completely...I never realized how much I liked louisiana until I lived elsewhere...

I may have to live out of state for a while, but I will never again be too far away to hit saturday night in tiger stadium...

Didn't want the post to get deleted. I don't post often, and this seemed common practice from my years of reading the site.

No self respecting Coon arse says "coon arse"...

Your application to return to Louisiana is denied. Please make a u turn at the state line.

Yeah my username is shite, but it was 9 years ago and I was drunk when I coined this gem. Also, I am too darn cheep for the 10$ to change it.
