Maybe not really 'Western'?
Maybe more like 'Country'?
Maybe just - 'Bad Boys'?
Maybe just - 'Facades?'

‘REDNECK’ PROFILE?
© - Tom Hyland - 11/18/10
Granted there will be some Exceptions
To these various Traits -
Like some may Drive -
Somewhat different ‘Crates.’
Most drive those really big ‘Pick-Up’ Trucks -
You know - the ones that just cut you Off -
Snidely thinking - “Hit me and you Lose!”
As their Baseball Caps they Doff!
Most of them are 4x4's -
For 'Off-Roading' in the Muds -
With 'Country' Music Blasting on WPOC -
And Swillin' down several 'Buds!'
Type ‘A’ personalities - as in Aggressive -
Love themselves - very Macho -
‘Lady-Killers’ - they Think they Are -
‘God’s Gift’ Honchos!
Many, if not most, tend to be Ostentatious -
‘Sporting’ or showing off several Tattoos -
They usually ‘Stomp’ around In -
Either Cowboy’s - or Engineers’ Boots!
The ones who Don’t have ‘Rifle Racks’ -
Usually substitute Fishing Rods -
And most have Football Players on their Dash -
Whose Heads Bounce with Nods!
Don’t forget the ‘T-Shirts’ -
Emblazoned with Outlandish Sayings -
And the Braggadocious Attitudes -
How Great they are - at their ‘Playings!’
These guys are True ‘Martians’ -
Men from ‘Outer Space’ -
What the Heck - just a ‘Red-Neck’ -
Thus - I built my Case!

Maybe they are just 'Hot-Dogs'? ...
The PIC is a Scottish Haggis!

I thought I recognized the haggis, Tom. I've never tried it and I am not inclined to do so. Thanks for the humor. Love and peace,
Regis |

So...you would expect 'those guys' would drive their Lexus 4x4'ing and bring their own mixologist, as well as listening to Josh Grobin while rolling in the mud? Besides that, most of 'those guys' have all the time in the world having been laid off from their jobs down at the factory...Sorry, I got lost in the moment....
Cheers,
Dan |

| Though we’re usually on the same page, I’m afraid I can't buy into this one, Tom. I see this as very thin ice. Profiling? These same types of comments about Blacks, Gays, Arabs and dozens of other "classes" would draw the ire of much of our audience. Likely this will too. Dick |

You scared me for a minute. I'm always Off-Roading in Mud; my radio only plays C&W; I have a tattoo - 'Mom;' and my fishing rods are too numerous to count. But I would never, ever drink Bud!
PS: I doubt even my mutts would eat whatever that thing is on your plate there! |

| And you will NEVER be accused to be one of them, what with that new car you just got...but you could get a Red-neck from the sun on the beach...e |
