Hmmm, where do I come from. Well where I come from we are a Tiger on Saturdays and a Saint on Sundays. We mind our Ps & Qs and we always say please and thank you. We say ma'am & sir whether you are 10 or 80. Sunday dinner takes place at 2PM and you better not start before you say grace. We have Mimis and Pawpaws, Nannys and Parrans. Y'all is in fact a word and all y'all does make sense. We have our own language and it is beautiful. We eat red beans on Mondays and fry just about anything. You will never find another place that has food like ours. Each dish is a culinary masterpiece made differently by each person's own bit of lagniappe. We have a party for every occasion and a parade for every holiday. We drink a lot and don't always sleep enough but most make sure to go to church on Sundays (before Sunday dinner). Some of us bleed purple and gold, some black and gold, some both depending on the day and few bleed green and blue (I think). We sit on the porch and drink sweet ICED tea. We visit with the neighbors and always ask "how's ya mom and dem?". We are a Sportman's Paradise and a football fan's...dream. We are proud of where we are from and want to share it with the world. Where I come from gets in your blood and never lets go. You might have to leave but you always, always wanna come back home.
Think this is a good description of where I am from? Do you think anyone who didn't know would figure it out? Well if not *plfeet*. This video is played at the 2015 LSU home games and gives you a taste of what it is like to be from here.
