ROFL... C'mon, lorne! How can you trust that crook Yaacov?! Did you know Yaacov is the eminent founder of the Hick Pride? It's somethin' like the Gay Pride but, well, it's more tacky.... Before you scramble to join the next Hick Pride, make sure you fill the criteria --I'm afraid you rather qualify as a redneck! Anyway, check it out: collegian.psu.edu Excerpt: Let's just get one more thing straight. Something city slickers always manage to get wrong is the hick/redneck distinction. A difference does exist between a hick and a redneck. Hicks are just country folks. We are laid back, and some of us do hunt and fish for sport. Rednecks are crude. They chew and spit anywhere. Rednecks are ig'nurt and inbred. Younz guys know what I mean. The best part about being a hick is the gossip. Everyone knows everything about everyone else. I don't know how many times I've been engaged, at least according to the hick rumor mill. Months can go by and I won't hear from someone until some big news hits the gossip wire. And when the gossip is big, it spreads faster than butter on a warm corn muffin. All hicks have the gift of gab; it comes naturally. We are taught at a young age how to gossip in correct form -- do it often, without sparing a detail. Now you city slickers might just be sitting back and laughing at the whole hick pride idea and the concepts I've presented. But to those of you chuckling because you see parallels to you own life, guess what . . . you are a hick. You are a hick whether you are ready to admit it or not. By the way, Chevy trucks are superior. ___________________________
