Okay, gotta share this. On the trip back from DC, we ALL had to use the loo and I kid you not, we drove through a town called Bucksnort, Tenn.

Now if you live in Bucksnort, Tennessee, you might just be a red neck.

We were gonna stop at that town to use the facilities but we heard banjoes playing so we hurried right out of there.



Also, we crossed over Loosahatchie River.

I was wondering how one would come up with such a name, and I think I figured it out.

It's called Loosahatchie because that's what happens when you park your 72 Pinto on the river bank at low tide, proceed to imbibe too many tall boys and when you wake up at high tide, the vehicle is gone.

You done Lostyerhatchie.

If you live in Clinton, TN, you might be a redneck...

A person once told me that the town motto is - "Daddy get off me...you're crushin' my cigarette."

I guess that a couple living in Polar, Texas would be Bi-Polar...or people who drive or live in the vacinity would be by-polar.

I once heard that the West Virginia state tagline is "We're just one big family. Really".

I don't know if that is an old one or not but I have never heard it and I just spit water all over my laptop! Crushin' my cigarette.

I gotta go to Texas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Waxahachie is pronounced two ways:

Waaaaax-a-ha-che (said with a wrinkled up nose) if you're a native.

and

Whots-a-ha-she (said with your nose in the air) if you're not.

I don't get the joke!!?? What is wrong with them towns??

I have been to Bucksnort, Tenn, though!! We got HATS there and laughed alot!

OMG @ Clinton, TN. That is so close to my hometown!

I've not heard that one before!

Oh and Stinking Creek, TN was close to my hometown, too.

Watch out!

Cinders, the funniest Texas town name is not even on there! Turkey, TEXAS! home a Bob Wills!!

I went to Texas ONCE,

Enough said.

I ran back to Canada.

I've worked really hard not to be distressed by the Bucksnort stuff. I know...I know....I can be touchy and I don't take well to being teased. At book club last night, we were talking about prejudice. One of the things we talked about was that, as Southerners, we feel that we are looked on as shoeless, illiterate rednecks. Bucksnort is sort of just down the highway from my home....let's say an hour or so.

Depending on your route from D.C. to Bucksnort, you may have driven within a mile of my house and within 3 miles of my office.

Cinderella I understand. I am from Calgary, the redneck capitol of Canada. Or so we are made out to be.

Truth be told, we have a huge rodeo each year, have had since 1918 or so and that is the image most of Canada has of us. Not as a city of a million people with great museams, a world class Zoo, former host of the 88 Olympics. They see us as a bunch of horse riding cowboys.
