How perfect!

[Jessie]

Right now, people in my office are eating cake and ham.

Seriously.

[Beefy]

What about grilled cheese sandwiches?

[Jessie]

But I don't love grilled cheese sandwiches.

I love cake and I love ham!

[Beefy]

But I don't love grilled cheese sandwiches.

I love cake and I love ham!

Grilled cheese sandwiches cut into four triangles with toothpicks sticking in each one are the "in" food right now.

[Beefy]

That, and polar bear treats.

[Jessie]

Don't try to get my back against the wall, buddy. 

[DownSouth]

That's an odd combo.

[Beefy]

That's an odd combo.

You've never had Honey Glazed Pineapple and Ham Upside Down Cake?

Reminds me of a conversation I just had with some jackholes that were in the office. The one guy had been to India last year and I mentioned the food, and the other guy made some classic jackhole redneck arrogant-laugh HURRR comment to the effect of (translated) "I have not the first fucking idea of Indian cooking, but I xenophobically hate the concept and I've smelled McCormick's curry powder" and then I was asking the first guy if he tried dosas or sambar when he was in Hyderabad and he was like "no" and the idiot was all "hurrr you sound sad about that hurf hurf." I just gave up after that, they were idiots.

Idiots.

I've noticed many idiots can be identified more quickly not by the stupid things they say, but by the strange sounds made while they attempt to form sentences.

I didn't know that they made rednecks in Canadia.

Oh hells yeah. It's the "raise head, grin, oscillate head, giggle before speaking."

Benny: yes, they make idiots/rednecks here. My brother turned into one! Hooray for externalized self-loathing!

Well, I knew they made idiots there.  They make idiots everywhere.  Here's my question:  Without Guns to love or Black people to hate, what defines a redneck?  Truck nuts?

[Beefy]

Doues Canadia have a fourm of Nascaur?

[cnamon]

Do you keep your broken sleds up on ice blocks in front of your double wide igloo?

This is the perfect joke, because it makes fun of both north and south.  Delightful!

[DownSouth]

You can always tell the difference between an American redneck and a Canadian redneck.  The Canadian ones still have their teeth due to free health care.

BAH-ZING!

Oh there are gun lovers. There are minority (read: Native) haters. "We shoulda shot them all in the first place."

Aside from that:

- ignorance
- cowboy apparel that is totally unnecessary and out of place, also fixations with anything cowboy and tight pants-related
- ignorance
- misogyny

etc etc.

We make toboggans out of ice. Snow machines are unheard of, except by me.

[DownSouth]

Do the rednecks have hunting moose?

[JJ]

Uhhh...I dunno.

Yankees come up here to shoot birds though.

Hating black people is NOT one of the definitions for being a Redneck.  Being a Redneck is not the same as being a racist person. 

To me (and I am married to a Redneck) the definition of a Redneck is an outdoorsy type of person that loves hunting, fishing, drinking with his buddies and blowing shit up; usually, they drive an old beat up vehicle that has seen better days but most of the time they drive a suped up 4wheel drive that would put a lot of other vehicles to shame. (Yes, Terry drives a Dodge diesel 4wd) The majority of them have good jobs and have plenty of toys (ie:  4 wheelers, guns and dogs)

Oh, you mean a "good ol' boy."

[Alice]

To me, the definition of a Redneck is an ignorant, uneducated, misogynistic, self-centered, right winged idiot who thinks anything different is bad.

[meredith]

clearly racist is in at least one definition of redneck, because you see the examples above.
