Redneck Riviera??

[pmd8]

A damn Yankee was someone from up north who came to visit. A goddamn Yankee was someone who moved here.

Barefoot guy - thats exactly what I'm talking about. In my hometown you wouldn't DARE go to the store with anything other that a polo shirt, expensive shoes, jewerly, and your hair done... I guess I should be happy that I can relax a bit!

Maybe you wouldn't, but I would. I think I goint to now. Please excuse me.

I went to the store today in my yoga pants and a Dread Clampitt t-shirt. And I grew up living and dying by the "no white before Derby Day or after Labor Day" rule. I like myself better now.

a funny southern saying I've heard that make me giggle:

'fixin' to do something. I dont know why but when I hear that, I imagine Hee Haw music.

Oh, they do the same too, in small southern towns. The "Debs." They just used tons of hair spray on their big hair. Even the rednecks do it, too. ;-)

I have a question. I am a transplanted north easterner living in Destin... but still. why would anyone refer to our beautiful area as the 'redneck riviera'? Why would you want to be associated with such a derogatory name? Why would someone be proud to be considered a 'redneck'? In my hometown, that just meant you were poor, uneducated, and toothless. does it mean something else down here?

Did you know that the toothbrush was invented years ago in Walton County? Otherwise it would have called the teethbrush.

The Great Northwest just makes me ill.

Everytime I hear that phrase it makes me think...Canada, eh?

I guess that was the best Rummell could come up with...."My Cash Cow Counties" was too impudent and Disney World was already taken.

I can't imagine getting all dolled up just to go to the store. It just seems like a waste of time to me. But then, I don't get dolled up ever. Because I'm a redneck. :clap_1:

I only wish that I had some rednecks in my family that bequeathed me their gulf front property along 30-A.
