Favorite Jeff Foxworthy joke:

"If you see a sign that says'fight against crack', and it reminds you to pull up your blue jeans, you might be a redneck."

Gretchen paid a gratuitous vist to Pocahantas and East Pierron at the end of August while I was in Highland visiting family and friends. She can put on one heck of a show.

All my adult life, when asked where I grew up, I always answered: "Near St. Louis, on the Illinois side".

With Wilson's fame, however brief, I've been able to say Pocahontas or Pokey, Illinois and people actually know where that's at.

Two words for y'all-LEWIS GRIZZARD.Who by the way had a great definition of the term "redneck".

And over yonder is a city that is just called Lan'a.

Well, how lucky I am that this thread just came about...

I just saw a movie on DVD that is a complete celebration of all that's "Whiskey Tango!" (that's "White Trash" for those of you from Rio Linda!).

The movie's titled "Waking up in Reno," and it stars Billy Bob Thornton, Patrick Swazey, Charlize Theron, and Natasha Richardson. It's about two married couples that go on vacation with a road trip to Reno, to see the Monster Truck ralley!

Some of the conversations are just TOO FUNNY!!!! I think that I found this movie so funny because I know people like this... In fact, I might just be like some of the people in this movie! lol

I was born and raised in Southeast Alabama. I have a law degree and studied Shakespeare at Balliol College at Oxford. Does that make me an 'Educated Redneck'?

In the pagent, Ms NYC was so tightly puckered the bikini had a dent

I, too, was raised in Alabama. I have lived all over the US, and worked several years as an engineer. I have a graduate degree.

I have noticed that women from the south have it MADE (especially if, like my wife, they are very attractive). People fall all over themselves for that soft sounding lilt to her voice, and walk away with visions of Scarlett O'Hara or something.

With men, when they hear the accent they just check to see if you are wearing shoes. In political conversations, they seem absolutely stunned if you have read Noam Chomsky or Gore Vidal (they are surprised that you read at all!) and the leftist crowd seem really exasperated when they cannot announce that you are just an ignorant backwoods hick who holds these quaint ideas because you are so provincial. All in all, it is fun being from the south. So much fun that I just moved back.

[Spirited]

I'm a graduate degreed Connecticut Yankee who married an equally educated Southern spouse the European component of which causes us to view the "redneck" differently.

Since we also have the advantage of age it is blatantly obvious to us that the redneck and the blond jokes etc. are simply a subtle (read deceitful) way to demean the white race.

Try "spinning" the jokes just a little to fit any other racial entity (red, yellow, black, Arab, Jew) and consider whether you think you would laugh at them, hear them peacefully or hear them at all since they all depict the subject as some variant of stupid.

As amusing as some may be, until I hear as many jokes about foibles of other people groups I am "checked" by the derisive element in them that prejudices more than just the untutored. Nor can I view the typical West coast mentality a normally capable judge or portrayer of the genuine American spirit.
