Re: 20 Random facts
Date: 2005-09-16 12:01 pm (UTC)Oh yeah.. I like watching big bearded fat guys go at it with each other. It's the only kind of porn that has them in it. Normal porn has skinny, skinny skanks doing guys with unnaturally large pricks. Bear porn is more real, because fat guys don't have unnaturally large pricks.. which is what I like. :)
Statuary. English bulldog pups can cost anywhere from 1500.00 on up. Plus they have a whole host of joint and health problems, not to say anything about how much they drool. I believe I have over 30 of them. :) Bulldogs rule.

Acadiana is the bit in red... as you can see, New Orleans does not fall into it. Locals will tell you that New Orleans is not even considered part of the state. ;)
Anyways...
Coonass is a term that came from WW2.. when Louisiana french speaking troops went over and helped out france. Because they are backwards and speak they're own brand of French, the locals in france started calling them Coonass, which american ears heard as "COON ASS" .. The french, of course, meant this as an insult, meaning that the american french speakers were stupid or slow, but now, here today.. it is more of a term of endearment and something to be proud of.
A Cajun is a word that has been made up for the tourists. These ol' Coonasses didn't want to offend potential money coming into the area and started calling themselves Cajuns to be more P.C.
So there you have it. :)
