You Might Be A Redneck...
(...or, more accurately, I Might Be A Redneck...)This is the point where all the Jeff Foxworthy fans in the crowd are expecting me to rattle off a few of his redneck jokes.
Sorry, Bubba, it ain't happenin'.

But here's the situation: Recently, something happened in my life that made me re-examine my place in the societal food chain, as it were. I've always considered myself a cool, hip and happenin' kinda guy, in spite of being older and fatter than I'd like to be. But what if what I think turns out to be somewhat detached from reality? So, I started thinking about things, and here are the self-truths that I've been able to determine thus far:
- I am apparently not "a man of style".
- My furniture is old and beat up. (But hey, I raised a son mostly by myself, with virtually no child support or financial assistance from anyone. To me, that's WAY more important than groovy furniture.)
- My tastes are NOT for the finer things in life. Even though I'm in a white-collar profession, I come from blue-collar roots, and I'm not ashamed of that. You'd be FAR more likely to find me at a Toby Keith concert than at a performance of the Philharmonic anything.
- Keeping up with the Joneses holds ZERO interest for me. Although if the Joneses seem like nice folks, I might be inclined to invite 'em over for a beer.

Here are my results:
Congratulations, Your score is 10 out of 15
You scored well; this means one of 3 things:
1) You are exceptionally bright.
2) You used to be a redneck but have moved out of the south and are in remission.
3) You are a redneck but trying to hide it.
So, as you can see, the jury is still out on this subject. I reckon that'd be a jury of 12 Bubba-like individuals, chewin' Skoal and watchin' NASCAR.
GIT-R-DONE !!!

I have a Jeff Foxworthy daily 'Redneck' calendar, which is a lot of fun.
See you after my vacation.

ps I prefer:
Get that done, please. Thank you kindly.
OK, this is just too weird:

"You scored well this means you are one of 3 things. 1) You are exceptionally bright. 2) You used to be a redneck but have moved out of the south and are in remission. 3) You are a redneck but trying ot hide it."
I scored the same as you, Jim LOL
Love the comedy! LOL ;o)
GET 'er done! Larry the cable guy!
So what is wrong w/ the preference to beer and chips compared to a fine wine event? ~tapping foot~
Watcha say we crash a wine and cheese party in our hillbilly style??? LOL :o)
Raising kids is far more important than having Groovy furniture...Do we still use "groovy"??? LOL ;o)
Captain: I am so glad that Starfleet granted you some leave. Make sure to read Riker the riot act, so that the Enterprise isn't a shambles when you return.
M: "Git-R-Done" is the redneck way to say it, popularized by Larry The Cable Guy.
Cari: Great (redneck) minds think alike.
Superstar: Nothing's wrong with beer & chips in my book. And I never STOPPED using "groovy" -- it's one of the grooviest words I know.
;-]
Ooh, I love quizzes, lol. This one I had to guess on most of them but I must have guessed well because I got 11 of 15, PML!!! It must be because of the influence of all my redneck friends over the years. :-p
Being from what is considered the mid-south, and married to a man whose grandmother was afraid I was a "yankee", I felt the need to take this quiz. Results are as follows:

I do watch Nascar...but I really dislike Larry the Cable Guy. I assume those things cancel each other out, and I'm just really knowledgeable about the south? Also want to echo Superstar with the kudos on kid vs. furniture.
And I replied to the post you left about recommending a book. Stephen King is a favorite of mine.
Welcome... It's OK to be a redneck. I own three companies now and have come a long way from the old cotton farm I was raised on.
If I ever should land in trouble, I could only hope for a jury of 12 rednecks :) At least I'd know justice would be done.
Cute post. If you're ever back over at "my house" check out some of the people in the "Redneck Mafia" blogroll. Some of those folks are a hoot.
How about this? I grew up in West Virginia and now I'm a recovering Southern...sort of. ;)
By the way, I scored an 8 out of 15.
:)
You're a very bright red-neck.
Cherry red.
Nice writing. I orta know. I'm an amateur talent scout.
