you can't get much more down the bayou than where i've lived my entire life, but podnah yo accent is tick tick (true coonasses don't say "very" they just repeat the word instead).
i was once accused of having a Brooklyn accent. it was this crazy voodoo fortune teller/healer lady (i'm not even gonna attempt to spell the cajun word for it) that appeared to be strung out on heroin, so i didn't give her much thought. but she did cure my Nutria Itch by burying a potato and two cloves of garlic in the ditch behind her shack. pretty sure she's dead now, because she was about 176 years old when i was in high school.
Live in Texas and married a Texas girl. Texans are great strong tough fun loving people like us Cajuns. My wife fell in love with Louisiana and the Cajun culture instantly just as I was lucky she fell in love with me. Check out our wedding cake says everything about us.
My two daughters are through-and-through Texans. I rejected loving Texas for a good decade or so, but I eventually just decided to embrace it.
Glad to have you loving Texas. I am pure Cajun grew up in New Iberia and New Orleans but have always loved Cajunland over New Orleans. Get back there often for the music and dancing the food and the Atchafalaya Basin.
Yeah Texas girls like them some coonasses. I remember one of the years a group of us went to John Newks tennis camp in New Braunfels and the girls would come to our room to listen to us talk.
