Man, this show looks like its going to be awesome!
http://www.history.com/shows/swamp-people

Saw the preview the other day......like the country doesn't think the worst of us now?? Wait till they see this.......

Never seen a movie based in la that showed any person of education they all gonna think we only get around in perogs we don't have tricks or in door pluming

Well, atleast you dont hear the "The only thing that comes from Texas is steers and ******, and you aint got no horns boy!" from every Yankee you run into.

Imma be on the show!!

U gonna bring them catfishing if so some of us might get lucky and see some of u hot spots lol and the hunting club don't count

lol...

Ill show em some spots allright...

You gonna know when we get there cause you gonna hear a little click, then the movie will go black!

can't wait to see it...screw the rest of the country and what they think of us...they just wish they had a rich culture and heritage like we do...sad thing is the Cajuns of today are mostly ashamed to be a Cajun...the language is almost gone....all thats left is a bunch of Cajuns running around talking like and trying to be like asterisks...:(

Lived in Lousiana all my life. Don't have a true cajun bone in my body by definition. But I am proud of our heritage and who we are. Let us stop fishing, crawfishing and producing oil and see where the nation goes. We are the people and we are Americans.

thats great deerfarmer..just wish the cajun youth felt the same way...

Back in the early '60's, me and my neighbor went on a fishing outting down in Pierre Part, LA. Two young local boys took us out and they spoke very little English. I think they talked about us "city" boys a lot while we were fishing.....all in Cajuns French.

Did not catch many fish.....but it was an experience. Did I say that there was some ice on the water that morning.

Have several friends that used to rodeo all over the country in high school and right after that. They loved telling everyone how we all had to use a boat to go to school, had pet gators, etc.

They perpetuated the "Crazy Cajun" in all their travels and some of the people they met still believe this.

there are still people who live out in the basin, should be a good show!


Premieres Sunday, August 22 at 10/9c

i don't see that as much anymore over here, hopefully the "hip/hop" culture was a fad that dies out.

I was telling my wife just yesterday that I regret not learning Cajun French from my grandparents because when their generation is gone there won't be many people left that can fluently speak the language.

Me also
 

I used to speak it fluently. Grandmother lived with us and that was all she would speak. After shed died me and Dad talked some. He died in 86 and now I can harldy speak it anymore.

My brother and I were talking about the same thing last night.....wish we have done the same.

When my grandparents talked to each other it was always in Cajun French.

Everytlme I go out of state I tell folks how I drive a boat to work and my wife doesn't have a car, but a 4wheeler to get to work........I also mention the Gatorade that are always in the backyard.......I hunk its funny to watch their faces......

Gators......not Gatorade

Guys, It is not that hard to learn Cajun French. My wife's family were among the original French family's that were exiled from Canada. They are very proud of thier heritage. My wife speaks Cajun French, she tried to teach me but it did not work out because she is my wife and is a know it all. I purchased a few items from this website and I have done a fair job of learning. I am doing it for our kids, so they will learn it and keep the language alive. If a dumb mick from Ohio can learn it, you guys learn it.

Thanks for the site......when i get an extra $90 i might buy it.

My grandmother was born on Bayou Dularge, she was a Michel. My grandfather was born in Alabama to German immigrants. I have the most German name that any coonass could possibly have.

WHats ya name?

Wilhelm. I go by Wil.

Ok ok.

My grandmother was 100% German. You can still hear the accent when you talk to her. I won't even try and spell her name. But we all call her Wally.

it looks like a good show, a little dramatic

Not bad but a big yeah on dramatic. Those "killer gators!" lol.

Junior is a bad dude....Hand line on that big gator is tough, especially when he snagged it right next to the boat..

They said that thing was 800 lbs

that was a pretty bold move, looks like big head is fixing to put on a show in a second.

Looks like BIG HEAD went easy....

now that was a good show

they need to show them hunting pigs with dogs or something

Crap, I missed it!! Wife had Army Wives on.........what a waste of an hour!!!

replay
 

They are replaying it now

Troy is my favorite one so far.

ya remember this 80 film...classic!

Pretty cool, really! I ran all my crawfish stuff right in the Sorrel area last year. Pretty neat to see something you are familiar with on national TV!

Yea ole Troy talks like he has a mouth full of marbles but he is one tuff Cajun Dude. When I saw them bringing the small children on the 'gator run', I couldn't help thinking about the song by Jerry Reid: Amos Moses.:rotfl:

Hey guys now the anti hunting people are starting to come after the alligator hunters. There is an anti swamp people page that popped up on facebook

Maybe they will head out to the marshes and protest by cutting lines and freeing the poor defenseless alligators??:rolleyes:
Those Hippies ain't never seen what a Boudreaux does to someone messin
wit der lines or traps.;)

I highly reccommend that they use that approach!!!:*****::*****:

Kinda like the Montgomery Gentry Song, "Cripple Creek"..."People saw em leavin but they never came back..."

link?

edit, nevermind found it.

I wanna join Facebook now just to see this!!

Hey Tim, don't you wish you could wear the pants every now and then...lolololol:eek::shaking::shaking:

HELL YEA!!!!!!!!! I used to watch that show as much as I could when I was a kid..Saw it the first time staying at my grandma's house...thats some mean a** cajuns on that movie

i don't think i've ever really heard accents THAT bad. I kind of wish they wouldn't of put this on tv lol I saw it for the first time last night. Is the whole thing about alligator hunting?

That's a typical piere part coonass accent. I din't have any trouble understanding a word they said LOL

Kinda like when peta threatned to come down to grand isle and dissrupt the tarpon rodeo, We went to their site and politely invited them to come on down and go shark fishing w/ us.
needless to say none of them showed up.Awwwww.

You must of not heard that many True cajuns talk it gets worse

Those guys are not doing it for the show. I know Troy L. personally, and what you see on the show is 100% himself. He is a stand up guy, and one of the nicest people you will ever meet!

Gator hunting is the what they will do the most.

that's pretty cool, I figured somebody around here knew some of the guys.
