mcoleman, I haven't heard "Pearl and Rogers in Billygoat Hill La " mentioned in 10 years...

 

Loved that place and it was just a short trip next door to the local honky tonk for the rest of the evenings entertainment. $4.00 at the door would get ya all the Lite you could drink for the night pitcher style.

 

You want to hear some funny stuff..take a listen to Justin Wilson...He will make you roll on the floor..

Rick

 

Is he STILL alive??

 

Nope. He died within the last few years.

I had not heard that! I use to watch his cooking show once in a while.. He used a lot of that pearl pop with foam on top stuff..

We lived in Cajun Country for 5-1/2 years. 6 months in Franklin and 5 years in Thibodaux. Can't beat the food or people. I sure do miss those cheap real estate taxes too. I knew every one of the "You might be a cajun if and the you might be from Louisiana if" I've heard a million of those cajun jokes, all in good fun, most of them told by Cajun's. Still work with a Cajun over here in Africa. He keeps me hooked up with my "Tony's". Miss the crawfish and the fresh shrimp too. Miss the Hurricane drinks, but not the Hurricane weather, was there for Andrew and some others, and we didn't even get hit bad in Thibodaux. I can drive too Grand Isle blindfolded. But I missed seeing hills, and I'm not talking about the salt domes. I actually missed Winter and the changing of season's. One of the best jokes I've ever seen is "A Cajun Moves North", it's about his first winter.

 

I found I better one...


One day, a Cajun died and went to hell. The devil was making his rounds and saw the Cajun over in the corner having a party. "Hey, you! said the devil. "You're not supposed to be having a good time in hell. After all, it's burning hot in here."
"It's not that hot in here," said the Cajun, "It gets this hot in Louisiana in July." The devil left but was determined to make it uncomfortable for the Cajun, so he turned up the temperature even more.
Later the devil passed back by the Cajun and saw him boiling crawfish and having an even better time. "Hey!" said the devil. "You stop that! You're not supposed to be enjoying yourself in here. This is hell and it's burning hot in here."
"It's no big deal," said the Cajun. "It gets this hot in Louisiana in August." The devil left, very angry with the Cajun, and even more determined to make him uncomfortable. "Okay," said the devil. "If you like the heat, I'm going to make it COLD", and then turned down the thermostat until it was freezing cold.
When he went back to check on the Cajun, he saw from afar that the Cajun was jumping up and down in a frenzy, throwing up his hands, laughing and smiling. "This is really too much!! Why is he so happy?" As he got close to the Cajun, he heard him shout "The Saints won the SuperBowl!! The Saints won the SuperBowl!!"


And I never said that the cajuns didn't have good food...

 

"Don' cook with no wine you wouldn't drink!"

 

My neighbor is cajun and I never crack any jokes because his wife brings me Jambalaya. ;0)

 

This first year here in Missouri, I though hell did freeze over. Summer was the only season I remember down there in Nawlins. Now I actually enjoy the 4 seasons. Thank god for Tony's!

 

I spent 4 years in the Gulf on a drilling platform. Spent a lot of time in Grand Isle, Houma, Morgan City, Leesville etc. When I started to work there right out of high school I was 6ft tall, 180lbs. Four years of good ole Cajun cookin' and I was 6' 2" and 220lbs. LOL.

Those Cajuns are the friendliest, partyingest people I have ever met! Where else can you go by a juke joint at 3:00 am on a Wed night and the place is packed? Where else can you get Daquiri's at a drive up window?

One thing I learned from a Cajun boy on the oilrig was, If a Cajun is lookin' at you...... He's talkin' about ya.

BTW, I saw the term "Coonass" used earlier....... Ya'll know what a Coonass is?
