Excellent sites! They have reaffirmed my pride in my gracious redneck lifestyle and provided me with several home projects for tomorrow...
and perhaps a facial with WD40 this afternoon, before BubbaDan gets home.
It was rather horrifying to realize that I fit several of the redneck category DO's...
My children say yes sir and yes ma'am. And they have nicknames. We don't have a truck, but many of our friends and neighbors sure do.

No Worst, There is None/Gerard Manley Hopkins

1 No worst, there is none. Pitched past pitch of grief,
2 More pangs will, schooled at forepangs, wilder wring.
3 Comforter, where, where is your comforting?
4 Mary, mother of us, where is your relief?
5 My cries heave, herds-long; huddle in a main, a chief{\-}
6 Woe, w{'o}rld-sorrow; on an {'a}ge-old {'a}nvil w{'i}nce and s{'i}ng --

11 May who ne'er hung there. Nor does long our small
12 Durance deal with that steep or deep. Here! creep,
13 Wretch, under a comfort serves in a whirlwind: all
14 Life death does end and each day dies with sleep.
