Cary, you are not serious about Cajuns not following the laws of hunting are you?

What with Cajuns being examples of fine citizens and all......

One riot, one Ranger.

One Terrorist organization holed up in a cave hiding out for three years, armed with grenade launchers, one Willies full of drunk Cajuns.

I couldn't help thinking Cary, but do you sound anything like Foghorn Leghorn when you talk?

​

Waelll, I say, I say theya son. Whatever do yew mean? I speak laek any red blooded Americun mayan. Ma' aksent is beyond reproach. Wanna faight 'bout it? How big a boy are ya? Do ah haf to pack a lunch or do ah jus open tha whole can a whup ass on ya? Americun by burth, Southun by the Grace of Gawd. Don be bad mouthin' me or ma mamma, or we'll haf to come to blows or prefably a duel, yew Yankee cawpet bagga. The Honorable Foghorn Leghorn is also beyond any reproach from a Yankee cawpet bagga scum such as youaself. Pulease keep yowa dagrogatowy remawks to yowa Yankee self, yew Yankee scum. Ma honah will not be trivialized ba the laiks of yew.

Actually, Hack I learned to speak in the suburbs of New Orleans and spoke "Yat" in my early years. "Yat" is the terminology for this particular accent, which sounds Brooklynish. The term "Yat" comes from the common salutation of "Whair ya'at dere babe?' The "Yats" are seen as "bas class" (bad or low class) of the greater New Orleans denizens. The Yat accent is where I posted the "N'awlins D'ahlin" comment before, about you coming to New Orleans. That's how Yats pronounce New Orleans. There's even a local cartoon "Vik an N'atlie" which lampoons the Yats.

My family moved back to Cajun country after I completed 1st grade to a very rural farm in Acadiana (mid-south Louisiana) my father inherited from his family. (We lived in the greater New Orleans area while he completed Med school and his internship.) My brothers and I spent the entire summer in 1961 playing football with the black kids that lived on the farm my father inherited. We'd call them "share croppers" today. You don't want to know what we called them back then. This was a time when many of the stores still had "Whites Only" signs in the front door. I remember asking my mother why so many stores only sold sheets and towels with the "Whites Only" signs. I had learned that a "White sale" was about sheets, towels and linens. She about bitch slapped me into my next life for asking such a "stupid" question.

These black sharecropper kids spoke mostly Cajun French with a heavy Cajun accent in the little English they spoke. When speaking English they referred to it as speaking "Les American" (Speaking like Americans) My older and younger brother (a year apart on both sides) and I showed up in the Catholic school my father had graduated from in 1946 with a heavy mixture of Yat and black French Cajun accent. No one could understand us except for each other and our parents. The three oldest boys (me included) spent two years in "speech terapy" to attain some semblance of a normal accent. After graduating college I spent 4 1/2 yrs. in Houston, 3 years in New Orleans, and up to now 21 yrs. in Baton Rouge. I'm sure I have a Southern accent, but it is barely noticable, even to Yankees such as yourself. If we get together in New Orleans early next year, you'll be able to see for yourself and report back to the board on my "Foghorn Leghorn" accent. I can put it on when I want to (or a Yat accent, or a heavy Cajun accent) but for the most part, I sound pretty much American.

Thanks for asking, and I'm sure that I come across as somewhat entertaining given my Southern perspective. Yeehaa. If you'd like a conversation over the phone to hear what I sound like now, PM me for my 800 number, so you can see for yourself. I can do Foghorn Leghorn if you'd like, but it's not my "normal accent" and it never was. The closest I came to this kind of accent was when I lived in Houston. But then I sounded more redneck than anything.

Hope this was educational or possibly enlightening. When you get to be my age, and have had the life experiences I've had, you'll have a little more perspective on the whole development of this country, the Old South, and who knows WTF. I respect your contribution to this board, and your huge sense of humor. I like you bro. I think you're probably one hell of a guy. The duck thing speaks volumes to me. My initial (for about a nano second) was to lash out at your question that smacked (to me only) of some Southern demagogue, sippin' Mint Julips, and fannin' masef with a Magnolia blossom. But I got that it was just your keen sense of humor and my defensiveness of damned Yankees who have relocated themselves down here and bitch about how "uncultured" we are, and how we don't have the "sports scene" they're used to, and how we're a bunch of assbackwards, inbred, dumbass morons. It roils the blood. Go back to the frozen tundra you came from. Leave the Southern belles you find so appealing alone. And carry your Yankee ass away from here before some redneck Southern boy opens a whole case of "whup ass" on your sorry, funny talkin', whinin ass, snooty tute, high falutin self.

Sorry for the rant on the ungrateful Yankees that inhabit our Grand Culture.

Hope this helps.

With Kindest Regards, I Remain Your Humble Servant in the South,

Cary A. Prejean,
Imaginary Colenel of the New Confederate States of America

Oh crap. I'm going to do two posts in a row.

You guys crack me up. You better get up very early in the morning if you're going to insult me. I don't take much crap personal. Hack, I think you're a hell of a guy. Sorry my last post went on so long, but I needed to "splain" to give you some perspective. No offense taken.

Starlord, you haven't met some "outlawin sombitches" til you see some drunk ass Cajuns towards the end of hunting season. You'd be amazed, but they're very good shots. I've seen the bed of several pick up trucks filled with illegal geese, ducks and all manner of fowl and mammal in the spirit of "f&%k dem' mofo's, we got ours, let 'dem dam agents try an' get us" over the years. "Outlawin'" is the norm here. I'm looked down upon because I follow the rules. They think I'm a f'in "tree hugga."

Paul, hell a Willies Jeep would be overkill. A pickup truck with 3 coonasses would be sufficient. Enough beer and enough ammo would be all it takes. Just tell them there's a limit of ten terorrist a day and the season just closed.

For those of you who are wondering what a "coonass" is, let me reassure you that it is not racial, unless you are Cajun French. I've met some black folks around the country, who were initially offended by the term. "Coonass" was the derogatory term used by Texas oilfield trash that showed up here (oil well drilling) to describe the Cajuns back in the 1940's or so. The Cajuns were initially insulted by the term, but by the 1970's had adopted the word as a term of endearment. "Man, das ma Coonass bruda,mann." is a common acknowledgement of deep friendship. The actual words are more like "Mais, that's my Coonass brother, man." "Mais" is "but" in French, and is used to start expressions. You'd have to know French grammer from the mid-1700's for it to make sense. Trust me "mais" is pronounced as "man" with very little accent on the "n" of the word. If anybody wants to hear how it sounds, PM me for my 800 number and I'll give you "down low blood."

Peace out, or "Laize les Bon Temps Roulet." "Ils sont parti." Ayeee.

Hello all, new to JT, and the forum, so don't crucify me just yet, plenty of time for that later.

after reading through this thread, I'd just like to try to clarify something for myself, and then throw my take on some things in. I'm just going to start slow, otherwise, this post could be as long as all 13 pages itself.

Paul, I'm confused, you seem to be left leaning, but towards the end of the many pages you seem a little more right leaning, do you actually lean at all, or am I? You seem to be on top of things, and I was just curious.

OK, my take on the map issue and fortress cities, as well as my take on JT.

The cities will obviously NOT be the safe areas, and this can probably be for a few reasons, one being big brother, but something overlooked, I think, would be those in the cities use of the underclass. They will be the new mercenaries, instead of just kicking back and collecting government hand outs, those in gangs who are already heavily armed and show no remorse will be put to use.

That, or they will rise up and fight the big brother tactics, leading to all out warfare. This could lead to more Waco type events, blocks under siege, cordoned off like ghettos in WWII. This could be quite a flashpoint, those who, while not quite as low on the social pecking order may feel the heat and jump to their aid, knowing they are next to go.

I see the map and county issue to be one of general outlook, but am skeptical of my interpretation since JT seemed to contradict himself.

"What is the new government like in 2036 compared to the current one?

I think the new government is good. However, since the concept of nationally
subsidized welfare is gone, most people here may not appreciate it."

and contradicted by the following, as well as other statements

"The family work we did was picking, sorting and shipping oranges by sailboat
up and down the coast of Florida. We were expected to produce a certain
amount for the community and a certain amount for other communities as
agreed to by our CLC. In exchange, we received power, water, a certain
amount of food and other necessities that were produced inside our
community"

"The elderly are highly revered and looked after on a community level. So are
orphans. There is always something people can do now matter what. The idea
of avoiding work is looked down on. Everyone pulls together to keep the
COMMUNITY strong"

This seems a little too much like communism to me, I recall the story of the first thanksgiving, the communistic system that failed, and how production was greatly increased by allowing individuals to keep what they grew. I can see many good points in what he says, but also I have a serious feeling of dread to some things.

Anyway, back to the map, I believe based on the statements above that the areas strongly supporting socialism and communisms police state agendas, typically democratic areas where the government is your savior and your slavemaster are areas to avoid, while rural communities which typically have known the value of hard work, rugged self reliance, and if necessary dependence on others are to be embraced. Amish, Quaker and other type communities come to mind.


I suppose JTs outlook may come from living through what I would call hell, and his views may be more out of necessity then an ideal world, but I'm not sure. I can see many core beliefs of early Americans in what I've read, and overall I have to say I agree. The belief in stronger local government rather then a massive bloated federal government, which at one time was the view of republicans, is a welcome change, as is the hope that the education system does what it says. I am disappointed that there are still taxes, but hey, it's the real future world, not a utopia.

And so this post is indeed where it should be, Waco type events, well, since we're on the upswing to an election, I will say the controlled media will continue to find any type of gun related crime and hype it hysterically, especially this year, with the so called assault weapons ban set to expire, when it's renewed by whichever evil lands in the Whitehouse, we will have plenty of stories to post in here.

gun rights or no rights

Tom

OH, real quick bio, if I could, I'd move to the middle of nowhere, go off grid, and unplug from society at large, I want nothing to do with the average American's society of today, corruption, greed, and fear are not conducive to a healthy life, and sports suck. Very conspiratorial and distrustful by nature, not to the point of paranoia, but a healthy skeptic. I'll keep future posts where they belong.

​

In my humble opinion, the statements were in no way contradictory. Nationally funded subsidized welfare was gone doesn't mean that PEOPLE don't look after orphans and the elderly. It's a shift in society, and it's not that hard for me to imagine.
When things get really tough, you are generally capable of putting aside personal feelings in order to achieve a common goal with people you normally would not. I believe that if there was a nuclear war, that all survivors would try to work together in some fashion, because of the effect of the war.
Of course, that's just me thinking again.

Cary, I have to say that it is a pleasure reading your posts. If you were any more real we would have to make you run for president. I had a thought the other night about what would happen if it ever came to the bottom falling off the bag and hitting the fan. I speculated on how long it would take to make it to Baton Rouge. I thought about our happy family here all laying low at your farm waiting for the festivities to ensue. What better digs to learn how to shoot than on a farm. Who knows, you may some day name your place The Time Travel Farm.

lol, so now we are all moving to farm hideouts when the "festivities ensue"? :lol:

oh wait, I already planned that myself, move back to the 350 acre farm I grew up on. I even contemplated people that I would potentially bring with me, such as my friends who were nuclear and electrical and mechanical engineers

Keylampa,

I don't 'hide', I blend in. A farm would have lots of oportunities to blend in. Pulling that off in a cement jungle is somewhat problematic not to mention line of fire is all screwed up what with buildings all over the place. Setting up 'hospitality zones' is also much easier around mother nature as trip wires of the right color can be very hard to spot if you catch my drift. VBEG

Anyone know where I can pick up Spartan Kel's survivalist handbook? *joke*

I think the main thing that we all know is that if WW# were to start, all bets are off, and all plans have to be flexible. There is nothing that we could prepare for that would ENSURE safety. However, knowledge being as powerful as it us, those who are mindful of the situations will have an advantage at the beginning.
