HA.

I've got family and spent significant amounts of time all over "Da Boot"...gotta co-sign McQueen on this one.

Hold up... now that I think about it there is a somewhat of a live and let live/ignorance is bliss vibe all throughout the state...so I guess I can actually see it now.

Laissez les bon temps roulez!

Just spent 5 days in NOLA. Got laid 4/5 nights.

Would love to see you drop some details on your logistics, where you gamed, etc.

Louisiana is one of those few places in America where you should just be yourself and not make stuff complicated. Going into a bar or club and telling girls shit like, "Hey I'm from Houston, hanging out with my kinfolks, what's going on, how you doing?" HAYYY! blah blah blah, get a phone number. Call her later, no flaking.

These girls are country as hell. Loud but sweet. Even if they do not like you, they don't dump on you. They could be racist as hell and you wouldn't know it. They would let you sit and chill with them as long as you wanted to.

Word. A good way to put it is that Louisiana is just sleazy in the best way.

As long as you follow the only two ground rules:

1. Do not talk bad about LSU. Or the SEC.

2. Do not diss the Saints.

That's it!

If anyone has ever spent time in Shreveport and Alexandria than that person would KNOW that the study's author was smoking crack when he was number-crunching all that data to say they're in the top 5happiest cities in the US. Those have got to be in the top 5 biggest shitholes in the country up there with Lowell, MA and a few other choice places. These places are trashy subdivisions housing everyone who works in the oil & gas and have huge drug problems due to the 2 wk on-2wk off work/home schedule of everyone working on the rigs.

NOLA did NOT make the list of happiest place for the posters above who like NOLA, which IS a cool palce. NOLA was nowhere near the top choices for happiest places (#95) - it was all the podunk towns that were in top 5.

But yes as others have said, Louisianians are on the whole simple, slow & content with hunting/fishing rather than aspiring for more. To an extent, ignorance is bliss. If that fits you, perfect. I have a feeling most men on this board are go-getters, love to travel extensively & seek to improve their lifestyle through new, exciting experiences & gaining wealth. That personality would not be happy in the Happiest Louisiana states.

As usual, the Ivory towers are completely out of touch with reality.

Sure man. Researchers from literally the most prestigious university on this planet were "smoking crack" when putting together their data.

Are you trolling? it's an idiom.

I think that a big part of it comes down to the fact that Louisiana is about as full of real rednecks as any place in the US. And rednecks tend to be some of the happiest people in the world if you leave them alone.

This reminded me of a truly great passage by the Indian(!) writer V. S. Naipaul about rednecks, as told to him in his travels by a man named Campbell. It was a little too long to post here, so I posted it in a separate new thread:

I think guys will enjoy it. Mech, you should read it because it's basically a passage about Ali.

I will read it. But I'll tell you I start bouncing up in down in my seat like a little kid when I see "sportsmans paradise" coming down the highway.

I'll Add that my name is famous there and drops panties.. I should have freaking moved when I was 22!!
