need a swamp snookie.
I hope we’re surprised. Ya never know what’s in them thar swamps.
Cute Cajun women don’t play in the swamp.
They stay home and cook. :)
I’ll be watching. Thanks.
I remember driving through that area on Hwy. 90 back around 1970. It seemed like there was nothing but swamp interspersed with rivers for miles and miles. Although I grew up in a rural area sparsely populated, I had never seen anything like that.
I kept wondering how anyone could find there way in that mess.
I have liked Cajuns ever since I was 18 and worked for two of them for a day. They were professional movers and hired me for the day. The set wage was $20 which was fair in 1965. They bought my dinner and when we were through, the big one pulled out his wallet, gave me a 20 then thought for just a second and handed me another one.
Thank’s, it’s now DVR’d
Don’t know if any of you remember that movie from the 70s called “Southern Comfort” with Powers Booth and Keith Carradine. It was about National Guardsmen mixing it up with swamp people. I saw it several weeks ago on some cable channel. I thought it was pretty good.

One of the most beautiful girls I have ever met was a Cajun, at least I guess she was because she had black hair, black eyes, was from Lafayette LA and had a French sounding name, Arfon or Arton or something like that.
It was in Panama City Beach and she was with another girl. They were both Cheerleaders at LSU. Really sweet girls too. I normally prefer Blonde or light brown hair and blue eyes but pretty is pretty, and she was pretty.
Thanks Scythian.
STOP !!!
I miss home !!!
Even though we now live in north Louisiana, it is not the same.
We had shrimp and okra creole yesterday.
We used to live in Houma. At first, it took a bit of getting used to since we were coming down from Ohio but adapted in short order. The motto of Louisiana being a sportsmans paradise is not far from the truth.
I have red hair, super white skin, dark eyes.
The moment I speak, you know I’m Cajun.
LOL !!! I do not fit the Cajun look at all.
BTW, I am originally from the Acadiana area. Real close to Lafayette.
French names are common.
I was born and reared in rural NW Florida. After graduation from Troy I worked as a Federal LEO. I spent my first five years in Alabama which I was familiar with since we did our shopping across the line in Geneva, Alabama.
I also spent 5 years in Western Kansas and liked the area and the people but they were totally different from what I grew up with. The first trip I made home I stopped and got gas in Louisiana. A black headed old gal came out and began filling my tank. As she did we began chatting over basically nothing. Suddenly I got the strangest feeling of deja vu. Like I had been there before. About an hour later I figured it out. That lade acted and talked like my family and friends talked. The Cajun accent was no problem, we were both Southerners.
I remember the Gulf War and Third Reich channel fondly.
Bobby Boucher: “My Mama says that alligators are ornery because they got all them teeth and no toothbrush.”
Whoa !! Only 10 minutes into the show and I’m blown away, this is definitely my top show already, can’t wait for the next “Top Shot” but “Swamp People” is a keeper, can’t wait to rewatch it tomorrow with the kids and my “swamp mama” ...
The main saw at the old mill near the Chocktawhatchee River had a 13 foot capacity. Cypress logs were big enough to need it.
It was scrapped for the cast iron and steel.
Pity.
thanks!
I'm watching the gator show now and I'm enjoying it. Especially Junior chastising his son for not throwing the hook in the right area.
