My beard is salt and pepper.
I finally see some French words that I can guess how they’re pronounced . Barbe sounds like (bawrb), sel like (sell)
and piment sounds like (pea-mon). “Some
salt” sounds like (zugh-sell). I’m not going
to dye my beard. You can forget it. One yo-yo did that with his hair and he
looked like Eddie Munster. It looked
absurd. I’ll keep the sel and piment
look. My barbe, however, is slowly going
more blanc than gris and I’m not yet 40.
It’s probably caused by stress brought on by my resistance to Cajunization. That’s a joke. Anyway, speaking of beards, Spike TV’s new show
Rat Bastards comes on tonight. The characters
sport some serious barbe. The ad for the
series had me laughing. They make the
nutria look like monsters. They’re bad
for Louisiana and I’m glad they have a system set up to control them, but they’re
not that damn vicious. They’re selling the show so of course they’ll hype
it. They have Ville Platte and Opelousas
people in it. I’ll try to stay up and
watch it. I never ate nutria but they
say it’s good. Maybe after a 6-pack. I don’t know. I ate chaoui before and a variety of other
things so nutria probably wouldn’t be too bad.
But it’s their look that turns me, and I’m sure other people, off from
trying to eat one. Big rats with orange
teeth. They’re not rats but they sure as
Hell look like them.
