Salary is 108k, but we cleared 160k last year.

Wow, your neighbor must have a big lawn.

"The reason they are acceptable is that they're about white people and not seen as racist and derogatory," says Anthony Harkins

There you have it.

"Yeah, 30 minutes from Louisville will put you right in the hub of a corrupt sports program and lousy football. Go Cards."

Uh, if you're implying Lexington/UK, there's a speeding ticket in your future if you travel that distance in 30 minutes. It's an hour at best (doing the speed limit) on I-64.

That said, I don't understand what corrupt program you're talking about...after all, Denny Crum-bum is gone and y'all have a real coach now in Mr. Pitino. Maybe he'll win a national championship for you guys...after all, it's been so long since Loserville has had one, you must've forgotten how good it feels to have a decent basketball team to follow!

Football? Well, you have a point there...UK football just plain sucks. For that reason, I've never really been a fan of college football, but I am very proud of my alma mater, the Div. 1AA Champs, the WKU Hilltoppers.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

I believe that I am fully qualified to talk about rednecks ... I am one. Born and raised on a farm, I could drive a tractor and knew how to hook up the Bush-Hog to the tractor's PTO by the time I was 7. I got my first gun at age 10. I hunt. I grew up riding dirt bikes. I currently drive a Jeep, and I cuss whenever I damn well want to. I also have a college education, have travelled all over the world, am well read, and earn more than 6 figures a year. I am broad-minded, and broadly capable at a variety of things ... but I am still a redneck, and damn proud of it.

So go ahead and make all the jokes you want, because there is one thing that differentiates me (and us rednecks in general) from all the other subjects of racial and class-oriented jokes -- the one thing that I will NEVER be is a pathetic, whining, easily offended, life-long VICTIM!

If the instructions to your house include 'turn off the paved road', you might be a redneck"?

LOL

I is a redneck.

Salary is 108k, but we cleared 160k last year.

I have it on good authority that there are some IRS lurkers here...I'm sure someone will be in touch with you soon.

...that "your fair share" business, ya know?

[N. Theknow]

Careful now or my young'un'll whip your butt.

[wheelgunguru]

LOL! I'll bet that rig turns a few heads.

[sasafras]

I agree but tell a joke about a black or hispanic person and watch the libs go ballistic. Total hypocracy.

[Possenti]

Did you see the special report GQ did on the place a few years back, talking about how it was a hotbed of militia activity?

No. Any idea where I can find it?

Doesn't surprise me, though. A freedom-loving citizen with a gun - and possibly wearing camo (shudder) - is enough to make the liberal "metrosexuals" at GQ pee their pants.

[LanPB01]

I don't know where you could find it now. I only bought the issue because it had an attractive female on the cover, and that was several years ago. The only thing I specifically remember about the article was the discussion of how Timothy McVeigh had spent time at Knob Creek.

[Porterville]

This PC fad is almost over like this whole liberal fad.
