This little fellow was cruising around a creek bed covered in filth. When I offered to help him he tried to fight me, so I toyed with him for a while before throwing him back in the water. They are called "Cray Fish" where I grew up and occasionally "Craw Fish." In other areas people call them "Crawdads." I guess none of those names were appetizing enough. Now some folks call them "mud bugs." Mud Bugs? Anybody hungry for some mud... bugs....?

In the fine state of Louisiana, the undisputed king of crawfish cultivation, preparation, and consumption, "crawfish" is considered one word. I thought you would want to know, Senor Naturalista! Furthermore, the usage of the term "Cray Fish" will get you permanently barred from the state and all of its colonial holdings, ya heard?
You should come over soon for Crawfish Pie, a delicacy unparalleled by anything in the universe!
What if I slip up and call it "cray fish?"
Please overnight me some Crawfish Pie! I remember, not SO long ago, we were all present at a crawfish boil. It was an experience I shan't ever forget, neither for the tasty crawfish nor the tasty human morsels present. Those were delicious times.
P.S. Case I noticed you called it the "fine" state instead of the "great" state. Gives me pause for thought so to speak....
P.S.
The Chu, you flatter me!

I called Louisiana "fine." Because the term "great" also implies "large physical extent" (akin to its Spanish counterpart "grande"), I would be incorrect in classifying Louisiana as "great" due to its middle-of-the-pack aerial extent relative to the other states in the US. A person from Massachusetts should undoubtedly understand this concept!
Case: Please identify LA's colonial holdings for me, as I was ignorant of LA's imperial aspirations.
Miss ya too!
