It is a slang name for Cajuns or people from South Louisiana. You know like "yankee" for northern people. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you allow the thread to load all the way before reading the pics will be the right size, our computer does the same thing. If a mountain oyster is what I have been told it is no self respecting coonass would eat a mountain oyster. These are true blue Gulf of Mexico oysters, fresh off the boat.

The problem is that with Dial up internet service, waiting for the pictures to load can take several minutes each! The display will be adjusted after the pictures load but it takes a LOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG time to load in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel's wife Posted January 16, 2006 Author Moderators Share Posted January 16, 2006 After Katrina and Rita are you sure it's ok to be eating them ? Some of the oyster beds, but not many have been declared safe. In any event, we try to refrain from eating them raw, only fried. Even before the storms, fully cooking oysters was the recommendation.

I forgot what dial up was like. We upgraded to wireless about a month ago and dial up didn't even cross my mind. I am so sorry, I will try to resize before posting from now on. We added wireless through our telephone company and it is so much nicer. You might want to check into upgrading, the price is nominal compared to the aggravation of dial up. We were provided a modem at no charge. We have four computers all running the internet at the same time, in different rooms. One desktop and three laptops. We did have to get technical help from the service provider while installing, which was given at no charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscarsear Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 After decades of watching those with serious lung disease hack up chicken embryos and the like there are any number of food items which do not cross my palate. These may be counted among them.[N] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boom3 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 As a Gulf Coastian and former New Orleanian, I used to eat raw "ersters" all the time. But it is no longer worth the risk, so I eat them fried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
