OT-You might be a Blueneck...

Teal · Post by **Teal** » Fri Dec 01, 2006 7:45 pm

Got this in an email from my dad-how do you rate?

Blue Necks are Northerners -- the opposite of Rednecks. Because of Redneck jokes, here are some takes on how Southern folks look at Northerners (or how Northerners sometimes think of themselves;) YOU JUST MIGHT BE A BLUE NECK
IF...

...Instead of referring to two or more people as "Y'all," you call them "you guys," even if both of them are women.

...You think barbecue is a verb meaning "to cook outside."

...You think Heinz Ketchup is really SPICY.

...You would never stop to buy something somebody was cooking on the side of the road. (e.g., boiled peanuts, not road kill, Dummy!)

...You don't have any problems pronouncing "Worcestershire sauce" correctly.

...For breakfast, you would prefer potatoes-au-gratin to grits.

...You don't know what a moon pie is. You have probably never watched a moon pie in a microwave.

Awesome!

...You've never had an RC Cola.

...You've never, ever eaten okra -- fried, boiled, or pickled.

...You eat fried chicken with a knife and fork.

...You have no idea what a polecat is.

..You don't see anything wrong with putting a sweater on your dog.

...You would rather have your son become a lawyer than grow up to get his own TV fishing show.

...You drink either "Pop" or "Soda"- instead of "Cokes."

...You have never planned your summer vacation around a gun-'n-knife show.

.. You have never been hep'd.

...You think more money should go to important scientific research at your university than to pay the salary of the head football coach

...You have never gone to a family reunion to pick up women.

...You don't even have one can of WD-40 somewhere around the house.

...You couldn't find the eye of the stove if your life depended on it.

...You don't have any hats in your closet that advertise feed stores.

..You have more than one professional sports team in your home state.

..You call binoculars opera glasses.

...You can't spit out the car window without pulling over to the side of the road and stopping.

...You can't spit without opening your mouth.

...You don't know anyone with at least two first names (i.e., Joe Bob, Faye Ellen, Billy Ray, Mary Jo, Bubba Dean, Joe Dan, Mary Alice)

...You don't know any women with male names (i.e., Tommie, Bobbie, Freddie, Johnnie, Jimmie, Ricki)

...You don't have Maw-maw's, Me-maws, Pawpaw's or Pappaw's.

...You get freaked out when people on the subway talk to you.

...None of your fur coats are homemade.

even saying 'yes' to all of those things makes you a colonial peasant, as far as I am concerned

I thought the list was supposed to poke fun at Northerners? Instead it just reinforces the fact that Southerners are backwards 'hicks' with little or no redeeming cultural value...

Only 18 for me. I didn't realize RC Cola was a southern thing. We have it all over in Chicago. What's the deal with spitting with your mouth closed?

I guess I'm both. Grew up a northerner but I have lived in Virginia for the past 16 out of 20 years. I can relate to both. Either way, the list make southerners look like idiots, either way. Pretty funny!

That's about the dumbest observation I've ever seen. What this above quote enforces is that people who aren't from the South have absolutely no idea what they're talking about, but they're damn sure they're right about it anyway.

I have very little patience for dumbass remarks like this-if this is what you really believe, then you really need to come down here and find out how wrong you are.

This that you've written isn't funny...it's just ignorant and wrong. Dead wrong.

kevinpars · Post by **kevinpars** » Sat Dec 02, 2006 6:26 pm

I am too lazy to list them all with responses, but some fit me as well - although at this point i have lived longer in the south than I did in the north. But RC Cola? That is some good s***!

As an aside - I knew just as many rednecks up north as I do down south. Central New York is full of 'em.

You don't have Maw-maw's, Me-maws, Pawpaw's or Pappaw's.

While technically true, it is also true that the south doesn't have Wawa's

I've been to the South at least 15 times in my life as I did alot of traveling throughout my life since I am only 24 years old and born and raised and still live in Massachusetts. There is a major difference in terms of lifestyles from the North to the South. This list shows you the major differences between the North and South. I can make this whole thing get real ugly so I am not going to.

You already did. The major difference between the North and South is that you people do not have to live with the ridiculous and juvenile stereotypes that we do, because you perpetuate them.

Being that you are only 24, though, you get the "young and dumb" consideration, and I will leave this alone from here...if you want to continue to opine, have fun. Ignorance is bliss, after all...

All I can say is look at Bob Jones University and what they continue to do to our youth. BTW I was disgusted when I attended a banquet at Furman University for the Paladin Classic and they did a prayer before the meal. I went to a PUBLIC university so I didn't go for a religious teaching.

Here is the Bob Jones University code for Women

Female dress code

General and classroom dress for women is a dress or a top and skirt. Loose-fitting pants may be worn between female residence halls, to athletic events, to local area residences, and when participating in activities such ice-skating, white-water rafting and skiing. Women may never wear shorts outside the residence halls and the fitness center. Hose must be worn for all professional activities, including class, church, and recitals. Underwear should not be exposed in public, and colored underwear should not be visible through outer clothing.

All clothing should fit correctly without clinging, and there should be at least a 3/4-inch fold of fabric on both sides of the hips and bust. This "ease" may be measured by standing straight and pinching the loose fabric on both sides of the hips and bust line.

* The middle area of the torso may not be exposed, and tops must be long enough to meet the top of the skirt or pants.
* Sleeveless tops and dresses may be worn with a blouse, jacket, or sweater; otherwise, sleeves are required.
* Necklines may be no lower than four fingers below the collarbone--the choice of "four fingers" being only a convenient measurement.
* Tops may be fitted, but not clingy.
* Hemlines, slits or other openings may never be higher than the bottom of the knee. Denim skirts are allowed for casual dress but not in class or for other professional events.
* Shoes such as combat boots or hiking boots are not permitted.
* Hairstyles must be neat, "orderly," and feminine. Masculine cuts and "cutting edge fads" should be avoided.
* Tattoos are prohibited. A maximum of two matched sets of earrings are allowed, and they must be worn in the lobe of the ear. Any other body piercings are prohibited.

More crazy stuff like Bannign interracial dating until 2000 available here.
