Who is Gus O'Neil?
Gus O'Neil is a jack of all trades. Entrepreneur, musician, author, historian, satirist, foodie, scoundrel, Arch Duke of the Vieux Carre, and Patron Saint of girls with daddy issues. He may be politically uncorrect, but he's one of the most honest (and funny) people you'll ever meet. This website is where he's come to share his humor and life lessons with the masses.
Born on Friday the 13th with a mojo bag full of voodoo dust, Gus O'Neil came into this world kickin' and a screaming. Ever since then he's lived life by his own rules. Saying what he wants, to whom ever he wants, where ever he wants. His wit and charm hearken back to a bygone era when people spoke their minds and had integrity. He's crass and to the point, but he's always honest. Pretty funny too.

Is he offensive?
Maybe. To some. If you're easily offended then you may not want to spend Christmas Day at the O'Neil house. He has no problem with anyone that holds a contrary opinion. A lot of times it leads to in depth debates and discussions. He respects your opinion even though he may not agree with it. All he expects in return in the same courtesy.
​
At the end of the day...
Gus is Gus. He's old fashion and grew up when family was still important. Men were men (none of this metrosexual shit) and women were women, real women, not the Bruce Jenner kind! People worked hard, provided for themselves and their families, dressed well, and had personal pride. Is he perfect? Not at all. But when you need a favor, a good laugh, or just a drinking buddy, he's your scoundrel. I've spent many moments with him and I was always well entertained.
The Vieux Carre is his playground and his natural habitat. You may catch a glimpse of him and if you do, be sure to say hello. I'll give it to you in his own words, the motto he lives by, "Don't be intimidated, embrace the scoundrel". ~ Steve "Shambone" Gustoffson
