The game About
A redneck simulator on the bayou
Duval has an airboat, an empty cooler and a tab at Big Mamou’s that won’t pay itself. So he does what any self-respecting man of the parish would: he fishes the bayou before the gators get to it, plinks road signs from the back of the truck (the county stopped replacing them in ’68), bags ducks for supper and harpoons any gator that gets ideas about the hull.
Uncle Seamus keeps the tank full at the LeBlanc Fuel Dock, along with a few bottles that have a rag in the neck, “for emergencies”. Cousin Daryll rides shotgun with his lever rifle and a bucket of chum. Old Blue the heron watches it all from his log. And come Saturday, Old Man Thibodeaux needs shine for the fais do-do at Thibodeaux Hall, which means a night run down the back roads with the Sheriff close behind.
