I’ll skydive, thanks.

Not me, all the planes I fly on keep the doors locked and they don't issue parachutes.....

My kids have BB guns and pellet rifles.

I could care less if they shoot a lizard and think it’s crazy to make a kid eat one.

mammals yes...my kids are not allowed to kill mammals pell mell...but my cats are..lol

this is one of those paradoxes.........

40 years ago no one cared about killing a kid killing a lizard

today, yall’s opinion is not unusual at all, there are now folks who anguish over stepping on bugs

and some folks think we’re more civilized.

50 million voluntarily killed babies later.

me personally, I’d prefer to go back to when killing lizards with BB guns was permissible and ignored and abortion was illegal most places.

culture changes not in a straight line
PS...when we were boys, our moms were more worried about us shooting one another...and yes did happen

Nah, Cajun men don't walk hand-in-hand. Not openly, anyway.

Amen! We had the pleasure of spending a pre-Mardi Gras weekend in St. Martinsville some years ago (missed the pig slaughter, however). Charming little town with wonderful, warm, down-to-earth people. Loved every second we spent there.

***Yes they are.***

No they are not. I have killed many an old hen who had perfectly HARD eggs still in them and I used to work in the ggg production industry. I still have a few laying hens for my own use.

http://www.msstate.edu/dept/poultry/avianemb.htm#form

“The shell is added in the uterus or shell gland portion of the oviduct. The shell is composed mainly of calcium carbonate. It takes about 20 hours for the egg shell to form. If the hen lays brown eggs, the brown pigments are added to the shell in the last hours of shell formation.”

cracklins - good stuff. mix a good batch of cracklins that still have a good bit of meat on the fat into a cornbread batter - voila - cracklin cornbread. Best I can do to get that flavor, marooned up here in Nebraska, is to mix a measure of real bacon bits into my cornbread from time to time.

Although not born into the ‘culture’, my birth in Louisiana and many years afterwards brought me much pleasure as I embraced the people of south Louisiana and their culture.

laisser les bon temps rouler = let the good times roll....

Our plant manager was a Cajun. Never was a man more hated than him. When he died after retiring we all hoped they would bury him here because we didn’t want to charter a bus to go all the way to Louisiana just to p!$$ on his grave.

I am sure there are better examples of Cajuns than that worthless hide.

Okay, well who am I going to believe, some person on the internet or my own fingers. Who knows, maybe there was something wrong with the chickens but they were soft. Not smushy but they did give as I picked them up.

>>Did you put a plastic baby in it?<<

Yup! And warned those about to eat that the one who got the baby made the cake the next year.

I got the baby in my piece! Go figure.

These same people would not survive 24 hours under certain conditions and settings. They do fine when professional killers have cleaned up a place before they get there.

There may have been something wrong with the chicken. I have seen a few eggs without hard shells and they are worthless for anything.

In thinking it over again maybe it was not an egg you picked up.;-)

I track some of that in on my shoes to often.

"Since when do the FEDs need to get involved in everything!"

Good question. Since we started ignoring the Constitution, I guess.

Oh, the muslims will just use our own politically correct government to forcibly shut down this festival in the name of tolerance.
