Swamp People

[Swamp Critter]

I saw the show Sunday night and found it entertaining. I love my Cajun people. I'm one of them. I just hope that the entire country doesn't think everyone in Louisiana wears overalls and either no shoes, or those white boots (Delcambre Nike's, Pierre Part Reeboks, etc.) and we're up to our necks in gators and swamp water. Oh who am I kidding. They already think that. There's no cities except New Orleans, and the whole state is a huge swamp. We all paddle our pirogues to get anywhere. Oh well...

I have no problem if they 'stereotype' us that way. I'm more afraid they will think we're like the people in the Superdome post Katrina that were on the news every 5 minutes. "We need sum hep, sumbody need to hep us"

yessir, and everybody in texas wears a cowboy hat and has a southfork ranch (ala dallas tv show)!

i admire those people and the way they live...simple, effective and lacking the hassle of the dog-eat-dog business world we live in.

Ha! You got me there dude! I stand corrected! Did y'all see the show Sunday night? That guy (L'enfant's stepson - can't remember his name) has some real nerve to go in that marsh grass after a clearly ticked off gator. Armed or not, that's dangerous. Because I figure that unless you have a .50 cal Barrett sniper rifle or a grenade launcher, you will not stop a big, pissed-off gator that's charging at you, intending to kill you. I wouldn't go in after a cottonmouth, much less a big gator that's hissing at me.
