Just because it is night, doesn't mean I can't still call people pedantic jerkwads.

I'm not sure if I could outhick anyone, but there are quite a few "you might be a redneck" jokes that my family fills out. For example, I do have an uncle that owns a mobile home and about thirty to forty cars that won't ever run again. Yeah, but what always annoyed me about the "Redneck" jokes is that most of them aren't about Rednecks. They're about White Trash. White Trash is a socioeconomic situation. Redneck is a state of mind; a conscious choice. There are rednecks of all types. Rich and poor, post-doc educated and nothing byond sixth-grade, conservative or liberal, none of that matters. If you go hunting from your bedroom window, you're a redneck. (One of my older sister's best friends in Michigan does this. I was there for Thanksgiving a couple years ago, and she got pissed when a deer walked through her yard and her husband who wasn't home had the guns in his truck at the time. Both she and her husband are gainfully employed with a solid mid- to upper-middle class income. (Her husband is former Amish, and his family is still very traditional Amish.) I also had a college professor in chimistry who was a self-described Pennsylvania redneck. He would regale us with stories about his growing up in backwoods Pennsylvania and talk about his father's moonshine drum out behind the shed. Granted the term "White Trash" doesn't have the same panache as "Redneck" which is no doubt why Foxworthy used it instead. (FWIW, I grew up in an area that was a weird amalgamation of tourism, fine art, theater, small town, farming, orchards, and rednecks.)

To bring up stuff already mentioned, that IS a sweet way to decide season tickets HM. I wish the Red Wings would do it that way too, but then again, I can't afford season tickets so I'd still miss out on it.
