David,
Seeing how Harry (no relation that I'm aware of) lives in Kaplan, I'm sure you've got the pronunciation correct. The ride is yours!  Let's see if anyone else wants to guess before you reveal.

I knew, but I've already had a ride. That SA354 does make it go.
The long range forecast looks promising.

Must've been too easy for you guys! 3 replies and they all knew it. I'm much more used to mispronunciations! I'm impressed!

Robert;
What did you expect,a Boudreaux and a Gagnard,my grandparents hardly spoke english and my parents spoke as much french as english,not sure about David Shelton's heritage, but the other two may be dumb cajuns,we at least we can speak the language........
See you at NPR and looking forward to the "ride"...
David

and I'm still learning this 'American' lingo. Boot = trunk, bonnet = hood, windscreen = windshield, foorpath = sidewalk, carpark = parking lot, tap = fawcet ......
and then ya'll go put the steering wheel on da wrong side o the car

You tink thats somthing,wait till you get in a car at NPR with some dumb,crazy Cajun and he tells you "I'm going to drop the hammer"....a word of advise,have your seat belts and helmet tight.....BTW,we can drive with the steering wheel on the wrong side,simple,we just turn around go the other way on the road,see how easy that was.......
See you at NPR.....
David

LOL - Robin knows about turning it round and going the other way ..... 3 times in 1 lap if I recall 
Hard right turns and the car would 'fade' then come back on the straight ..... hmmmm ..... the gas needle goes da udder way
In New Zealand we have truck racing like you do here in the States ......
.... well maybe just a little different
and when we drop the hammer ....
.... we drop it hard.

yup ....... those things will get to 100mph in 12 seconds and run a 1/4 mile in 13.
and yeah .... when they wreck they take not only themselves out but a fair amount of countryside as well.
hey we did invent bungy jumping .......

Crazy Cajuns ?
Last summer in Port Aransas my son and I ate at a place called The Crazy Cajun.Great food and we met the owner.We then understood why he named it The Crazy Cajun.
My son is wondering if he will be honored with meeting some more "crazy cajuns" ??
Really looking forward to it.
I worked for years out of that area on geophysical seismic survey ships. Always had a great time onshore. |

Fed;
Pretty shore you gonna meet some "crazy cajuns" or as we are know locally "crazy coon a$$es"....I'll be there,been told by most people that know me and a lot that do not know me that I am "crazy"....O-K with me,having a ball lately,Doug Reed usually brings a few of them cajuns also....Word of warning,when you see one get in his car or worse yet someone else's car at NPR and says "hey you'll,watch this",be sure it's not your car and get out of his way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
David (aka-crazy cajun)
