Watch out! I've used the slang "Lousyana" on FReep a couple of times and got slammed for it by a couple of diehards who've never left the state.
I agree on your statement about MS. It is much prettier there, although just as humid.
I'm a refugee from Lousyana...now many years out. The only thing I've been able to miss about it is the food. But, you can find and make good Cajun food via the Internet these days.
Best to you if you're still stuck there.
I get depressed everytime I go back to visit my family in Lafayette. The whole state seems to be worse off everytime I go back.
Yes, other Freepers from Lousyana have attempted to slam me, but they seem to think that I wish for Lousyana to be as bad as it is. On the contrary, I wish for Lousyana to live up to it's potential. Instead, it reeks with dumbass populist who are still pining for Huey P. Long and the give-away crowd. Even worse is New Orleans. Definitely the toilet of North America.
Show me someone who wants to visit New Orleans, and I will show you someone who has never been there.
That should rile up someone!
