re: Misperceptions about Louisiana

and revisionist history.
That Katrina hit NOLA.
You wouldn't believe the amount of people who believe that.

I try not to tell people I’m from there. Not very proud of it. I can’t control where I was born, but I can control where I live. I’m a proud Texan through and through.

People from Texas make me understand why people overseas sometimes hate Americans.

You can be proud of where you’re from without shitting on other places.

I worked in the oilfield and worked in many foreign countries. Every time I started in a new country, as soon as the guys I worked with found out I was from Louisiana, they wanted to know what I was cooking that night. They all assumed that I was a good cook, being from Louisiana. In reality, I never really learned to cook. My grandmother Boudreaux, my mother and my wife, a Caillouet (no pics) were all great cooks. They were always cooking for me and I never had to learn to cook,

By the way, my grandma Boudreaux, from Houma, cooked the best shrimp and okra gumbo I ever ate. And I have eaten gumbo in some of New Orleans oldest, most famous restaurants.

They think everyone is Cajun, that no other ethnicities exist. I'm from Acadiana and people are shocked when I tell them I'm half Croatian.

your obituary will say what your family pays for

50/50 that any of the people I have talked to know where Houma/Thibodaux are in Louisiana. Most people in Texas only pass through La to get to Destin.

Am I a coon arse. Everywhere I go

Manh, dey tink we all talk like dis cher

Outside Louisiana people think music, cuisine, swamp, LSU
