I was impressed that they have some semblance of a stadium now. I played an American Legion game there in 93 and I’m pretty sure back then they just had home and visitor bleachers with a rinky dink press box in between like the high schools had at the time, I think the fence was chain link too.

Mine too. He clearly enjoyed the crowd experience as much as the movie

Same, we brought our daughter and a friend, it was like a sporting event, tons of crowd participation, theater was 90% teenage boys acting exactly like you think they would, roaring, coming out of their seats, high fiveing, even throwing popcorn buckets in the air. It was insanity, had a Rocky Horror Picture Show feel.

On the way home I told the kids in 50 years the old timers will be in the nursing home yelling Chicken Junky! Or whatever that thing’s s name was, and if they showed the movie there would be dentures flying across the TV room :lol:

We had no ideas what was going on, but we enjoyed seeing the kids have fun.

There is some good 80s jokes at the beginning so that was nice for us old farts

(Chouest) Not in same league doesn’t mean not billionaires. They’re worth a billion for sure correct?

I remember seeing Gary Chouest was estimated to be worth a couple billion before they acquired Bollinger, so I’m sure he’s worth a few billion at least.

I work with 2 33 year old “men” that are both married with children and their number 1 priorities are gaming and Pokémon, yes, I said Pokémon, apparently you can play it online now, which these “men” do and don’t shut up about. Reminds me of my buddies kids that were like that 20 years ago when they were 10.

My brother has a guy that works for him in his late 30s that can’t get up for work because he games all night.


Needless to say I’m not all that impressed with the 30 somethings lately

Hauling hay. I think two of us got .04 cents a bale. A 12 hour day might get a guy $20

My brother had a buddy in high school that lived on a farm, they recruited us once to load hay bales. Worked from sun up to sun down, had a short lunch break where they gave us a ham sandwich and a coke, no chips. When we were finally done his dad handed my brother $15 and told us to split it :lol:

There’s a scene in Napoleon Dynamite after he works at a chicken farm that hits so hard, plays out the same way.

I think I'm a little incorrect. While the soft or silent "n" is correct you also need a little "h" sound in there like you phonetically spell out.

I like to call it a short n, there’s just a hint of it and then you cut it off, like the sound a Cajun makes when they question somebody

anh?

ETA: I’m half fluent, can carry a brief conversation if the other person speaks slowly and deliberate :lol: I can actually read it better than I can speak it. My roots are Bayou Lafourche and PAC. My mom went to school in PAC in the 50s, they weren’t beaten for speaking it, but were only allowed to on the playground, not in class. Also, in the 80s you rarely heard English in PAC, you had to know at least a little.

I live in rural St Martin parish on my wife’s family land, years ago she was auditing a bank in Hammond and was asked what country she was from :lol:

So I kind of have a foreign wife, you just have to go deeper into the parish baw

I enjoy their channel, they’ve done enough around their house that I figured out exactly where they live, I know their neighbor and grew up 8000’ from them :lol:

It’s fun to watch, almost everywhere they go is my old stomping grounds, at least everywhere south of Houma.

Catching my first wife cheating on me 2 days before Christmas, at least at the time, now I consider it my greatest gift ever, my life has been infinitely better the last 18 years
