You Know You're From Lafayette If ...

I'm glad to see that i'm not the only one that didn't get a lot of these. I'm 25, lafayette born and raised and was scratching my head on these. Overall I wasn't that impressed. The little jabs at UL didn't really help either.

_ On one show he said he had proof and whipped out a copy of the National Enquirer.

And the nicknames he threw out...."Hamburger Head" Louie Michot
Snowballin' Sherman Bernard

Classic stuff.....great TV _

I think that Puggy also refered to Edwin as "Tweety Bird" maybe cause he saw him one time in a yellow suit!!!!!

For the most part this is a neat article but I take real offense to the above comments.

GEAUX UL!

If there is any offense, it's because there are so many UL grads in town that don't know our schedule.

Or didn't you notice that our average attendance hovers around 15K?


I'll give you, the second one though is sheer lunacy.

...you know the phone number for Diesel Driving Academy and can sing the entire theme song.

(Maybe not totally a Lafayette thing, but definitely a Louisiana thing)

You visit Baton Rouge for some ball games, but live in Lafayette for what really matters.

I live in BR and visit Lafayette for what really matters - Ragin' Cajun games.



Here's a couple more from when I did live there.

You go "make groceries" instead of shopping for them.

When exiting your car you "get down" not out.

HAHA to the "get down", my family uses that one all the time.

LOL

All my cousins in Nebraska hammered me for years on that one. . .

. . . That is until I came up with a retort and asked them if they hovered when exiting the vehicle.

Get down baby

You know you are from Breaux Bridge or Lafayette if once every 2 years, one of your travel destination is Hillbilly Hilton, Tennessee.

A lot of them were pretty old. I'm 54 and a few were from before my time, too! The little jabs at UL seem to me to be pretty much SOP from that crowd.

I'm sure most of ya'll remember about a month ago an article in the Independent titled "You Know You're From Lafayette if", and it took a few jabs at UL football. Below is my letter to the editor that was published in the latest edition of The Independent.

Maybe you can add this thread to the original thread regarding the article.

GEAUX UL!
