I originally posted this artice to Free Republic twelve years ago under this title:

Something You Didn't Know About Cajuns (Ilenos, Canary Islands)

It's due for another 'airing', don't you think?

Anything more frequent than 12.1 years is blog pimping in my book:)

Cool. Are their surnames Spanish?

I worked for a Cajun near here for years. I don’t know if he was an Arcadian or Canary Islander but he cn best be described as THE PLANT MANAGER FROM HELL!

When he died everyone at the plant hoped his family would bury him here and not back in Louisiana We had no desire to rent a bus to go all the way to Louisiana just to p!$$ on his grave.

The buried him above ground in a swamp graveyard as the ground itself would have revolted at his presence and cast him out.

Fascinating. 9 times out of 10, when I find an article here that I can’t stop reading, the poster turns out to be blam!

Thanks for the interesting read.
