I don't really know any but I know one generation out of those swamps for sure. That wonderful accent makes me smile. My granddaddy, who wasn't a Cajun, must have hung with a lot of them because he talked a lot like that.

Swamp People is a guilty pleasure. I hate seeing the gators killed though I know there are many, many of them out there, but now and then I just have to tune in and enjoy their joy in what they do. Man died being him. Can't beat that.
