You Might Be A Blueneck....

BLUENECKS are Northerners --- the opposite of Rednecks ...
You might be a Blueneck 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) .

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'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've never seen a live chicken, and the only cows you've seen are
on road trips.

You have no idea what a polecat is.

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

You don't have bangs.

You would rather vacation at Martha's Vineyard than at Six Flags.

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

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


You've never eaten and don't know how to make a tomato sandwich.

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

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

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

The last time you smiled was when you blocked someone from getting on an on-ramp to the highway.

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.

The farthest south you've ever been is the perfume counter at Neiman Marcus.

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 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,
Johnnie, Jimmie)

You don't have Maw-maw's & Paw-paw's.

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

None of your fur coats are homemade.

You have no idea who the Allisons or Pettys are.

Also from New England:

A milk shake has no ice cream; if you want ice cream in your flavored milk you order a frappe. In Maine you'd order a cabinet

In boston we had neither pop nor soda, we drank tonic.

A grinder is often refered to by a redneck as a subway, hero, or hoagy.

A troby is a hamburger with a slice of onion.

Baked beans never ever has tomato of any kind added.

A traffic circle is called a rotary and whomever is in the rotary has the right-of-way.

Order a regular (pronounced regla at any coffee shop and you get a cup of coffee with cream and sugar added. Just say "gimmee a regla".

I must be a purple neck. I am a northerner by birth but I can relate to many things on this post and to Jeff Foxworthy's redneck list.

Does that make me a purple neck:+ ;) :D :p

A purple neck, I like that! That might make sense for me also.. some of my family resemble way to many of the Foxworthy comments, but also many of the Blueneck, and even some of those New England comments..

Ah.. what a twisted web of influences we have in Ohio...

Nice to see ya postin Bill.. hope you're doing well!

Kinda weird huh dreamer. I think it is because us midwesteners are comprised of people from both the southern states and New England.

I am not sure what I myself am comprised of. I looked up my family tree and it turns out the roots are in a cesspool x( :p

I post when I can. Since I have been off the road I don't have too much insite to post.

Bill,

Ah, I have been off the road for the past few years as well, but whenever I jump on the Interstate - sometimes I just want to keep going. Not stopping till I get somewhere - far away.

The road - it get's in your blood.

I have days like that. Usually is on par with the stress level around here. x( But most of the time I am happy to be off the road. I may go back someday, we'll see.
