Blogging, cajun-style

So, I decided to take a cue from James Carville and incorporate the term "Cajun-style" into my everyday vernacular. I feel like its a perfect descriptor for everything from the type of cuisine I enjoy to the manner in which I extract and purify DNA (cajun-style!). Its my "go-to" term.

It works because no one is 100% sure exactly what it means, except that it entails a big slice of awesome and possibly a funny accent. As a bonus, its a great way to break an awkward silence, or add some zip to a fairly lackluster story. Example:

Some dude: ...so after that long battle with hypoglycemia, we finally decided it was time to put our beloved pet catfish, Remy, to sleep.

Me: Cajun-style?
Also, in other news, I saw a guy in my building wearing a bowtie. More to come as that story develops.
