It's too much, much like that language the Navajo's used during WW2, it's a mix of French and English and makes no sense to anyone unless you happened to be raised in the area where it is as common as breathing. And, it's all done with a Southern drawl. When I first moved to Louisianna with my little family I thought I had been shot into outer space and had landed on some other planet out in the Universe.

You are right, it is a broken French. Not France, from the little country all the way west of Canada. The ones kicked out for Religon. I can understand the France, French, but they can't understand ours. I can speek 3 languages, English, French and Profanity.

You've not a clue how much this boosts my day. Some folks in the Club are convinced I don't know my a$$ from a hole in the ground......The fact of the matter is, there ain't much I don't know something about and I don't mind saying it. I would do real well on Jeopardy, but too shy to even consider trying.

Hell, Mark, I think you are right. The size they are now is good for my 60 qt pot. We have an Uncle that has a 150 acre crawfish pond, and he brings 600 lbs at a time here for a boil. We usually have around 60 family members that come to this. Big family, 7 brothers and sisters in mine, and 9 brothers and sisters in my wifes. You want to have a good time? Come here.

Sorry pal, ain't gonna do it. If you do, you must have your eyes closed and a hell of a lot of beer under your belt first. Or you're just trying to impress all of your guests. I will admit to have tried it just to find out what I was missing out on. I was missing out on chit!

I've had both, frog legs and turtle soup. No other part of either one though. Have you ever chopped the head off of a 40 pound turtle? Man, those suckers are tough to kill. One man with the channel locks pulling his head out as far as it would extend, and me swinging a not very sharp axe. Must have taken 4 whacks, and then blood went everywhere. Not to mention the turtle was not cooperating at all.
