Talk:How to tell if you're Louisiannan

I'm looking forward to it! Zahir 21:47, 9 January 2006 (PST)

Not done...but it's a start, yeah? BoArthur 00:04, 16 January 2006 (PST)

Labour Day is Premier Mai Premier Mai? Shouldn't the date be somethining the Louisianne calendar? Nik 00:42, 16 January 2006 (PST)

Yeah, well...I'm not on my usual computer. :P...I'll fix it. Like how I caughr the spam artist?

Indeed. Caught 'im quite nicely Nik 00:46, 16 January 2006 (PST)

Aberllewg is a seaside town, approximately the equivalent of Swansea in Wales. If every Comro, Dumnonian and Louisiannais has an aunty there its population must be bigger than I initially imagined (Maiden Aunt City! :) - AndrewSmith 01:15, 16 January 2006 (PST).

--- Some questions from Zahir:

• When a Louisianne dies, what becomes of the body? Cremation? Burial? With or without embalming? And how do they view the other options that may exist? Is there normally a viewing of the deceased?
• How are homosexuals (male and female) regarded?
• What do Louisiannes think of their police? Of their neighbors (like Tejas)?

For the record, I really like this. Zahir 09:26, 16 January 2006 (PST)

--- A few comments and questions from Marc:

• New Francy TV shows are not particularly monarchist (*here* even the federaly-sponsored Radio-canada is considered to have a slightly sovereignist slant). Most however would have to be dubbed or subtitled (from laurentian). The one Francian speaking channel tend to broadcast the kind of shows *here* you would see on PBS in the US.

Duly Noted

• Not much reason *there* for the louisianians to use an anglicism like WC. You could do like in Quebec and use the term "toilettes" or "salle de bain" (bathroom) or even "salle d'eau".

I had them call it that, because the French *here* call it that, and that's usually how I referred to it if I was on my way there in a hurry.

• I'm suprise about this statement "You think everybody should speak English." legacy ? In any case, I would have imagine that spanish would be more practical considering the neighbours.

That was a copy over, but I think it applies in the South, as there's a large contact between Mobile and LA there.

• the entry on skin colour makes me wonder: what is the history of slavery in Louisianna ?

I would imagine that the slave areas tended to be the southern regions...I doubt they would've spread north so much because slavery was ended before the north was settled much. They could've spread north more recently, but I'll have to think about it.

• why do missionaries tend to ride bikes ?

It's not so much that they do, but the minute you read "guys in suits on bikes asking about God," you know they're mormon missionaries, which was my intent.

• the "1 toilet per level" thing is not a french thing but an "old world" thing. I can assure you that even the cheaper hotel in Quebec (and New Francy) have en suite toilet.

Duly noted. Should be changed.

• Isn't there any unfair dismissal laws ? I ask mainly because socialism seem to have some strong influence (maybe just my impression).

I think there's a socialist bent to Louisianne...I'll have to look into that.

• Most catholic ethnic groups (from what I've seen) celebrate christmas on the evening of the 24th (until and after midnight mass). Doesn't mean it is to be so in louisianna of course.

I'll have to look into that, too...
