The irony....

I just wanted to point out to the hundreds of possible onreaders that 
the odd part of this whole thing is that Boisy and I are both good 
'ole Louisiana boys.  Monroe and Opelousas are not far away from each 
other.  I moved to Texas 5 years ago, but I've made trips to the 
Lafayette area many times.  I've ate their crawfish and alligator and 
it was a little better than ours up north.

I've spent a good deal of my childhood on bayous and catching my own 
catfish and crawfish.  I've eaten them raw out in the field, after 2 
beers of course.  If you're hungry, you're hungry.  :)

A few people have called me a coonass at work in the past.  They say, 
"you're a loozianna boy?", and I always correct them and say 
Louisiana, although my daddy still utters "lou-a-zanna".  I have no 
idea what that's about.

One of my friends who owned Gabeaux's in Monroe moved back down there 
but I'm afraid his seafood days might be over now due to the disaster at hand.

I'm just rattling the chain here but letting Boisy know that we are 
more alike than most realize or probably care to know... so don't 
take these arguments too seriously.  Apparently, both our mamas 
raised us both to argue well.  I know mine did.   The only time we 
didn't argue is when she made gumbo which was oh, 3 times a 
week.  Sometimes I caught the crawdads out in the cow pasture just 
using the bacon on a string trick.  Sometimes I'd use the fatty bacon 
that came from the hogs we raised, that ate slop and left over gumbo.  Damn....

So I got my first speeding ticket in life a long time ago in 
Opelousas, La. I met eyes with the trooper at the top of the hill and 
he BENCHMARKED me doing 74 in a 55, and did a Dukes of Hazzard spin 
around.  He took my license and we had to go ID-less clubbing over 
the weekend in Lafayette where all the clubs are on one street, and I 
had to play my charm to get in some of the bars.  The live bands were 
loud and the fiddles were smoking.  Those were the days.

I've broke the speed limit in Boisy's town in the past... and now 
he's telling me I can't go over 45.51.

Oh, this is getting interesting.  :)
