In Louisiana, there are certain things that we like to be proud of that other people just don’t get. Here are the things that people with Louisiana pride can brag about—and no one else can:

1. How many festivals you’ve been to

Sure people in other states can try to brag about this...but people in Louisiana will always win.
2. The number of nutria you’ve shot

3. How many fish you caught…per hour
