You Might Be a Cajun If...
...you sit down to eat boiled crawfish and your host says "don't eat the dead ones" and you know what he means.
...you keep newspapers not for recycling but for tablecloths at
crawfish boils.
...you are not alarmed at finding plastic toys in your pastry.
...you bring your Community Coffee and coffee maker with you when you travel.
...every so often, you have waterfront property.
...when tailgating, you holler "Tiger Bait" at the other team's fans
as they pass by.
...you don't worry when you see ships riding higher in the river
than the top of your house.
...when you're in BR, you know the difference between the old bridge & the new bridge.
...you offer somebody a "coke" and then ask them what kind: Coke, orange, rootbeer, etc.
...you were in high school before you realized that Catholic and
Public were not the two major religions.
...you think there are eight seasons: duck, rabbit, deer, squirrel,
football, basketball, baseball, and festival and that 7 out of the 8
are during the "hot spell".
...you plan your wedding around hunting season & LSU football.
...you pass up a trip abroad to go to the Crawfish Festival in
Breaux Bridge.
...you take a bite of 5-alarm Texas chili and reach for the Tabasco.
...you gave up Tabasco for lent.
...you know the difference between Zatarains, Zeringue, and zydeco.
...you know that the best doughnuts are square and have no holes.
...you put "Tony's" on everything, including popcorn.
...your last name isn't pronounced the way it's spelled.
...no matter where else you go in the world, you are always
disappointed in the food.
...you understand it when someone describes their favorite color as LSU Purple.
...you normally refer to that shade of yellow as LSU Gold.
