Unfortunately they have recently been misguided as to what it means to be an American, but it is in these folks, and the inner city youth, and the fresh to this country hispanics (because they really dream the American Dream, and we could use them to help us kick someones ass if need be) that we will again find our heart. We ARE The Land Of The Free!!! Not bad for a liberal...............an American Liberal.

Personally I suppose I would raher spend my time with a bunch of loony Californians, or the plethora of cultures at DLP (although the BO, pushing and smoking gets too much too). Some of the people I realy adore in this world live in Fla (ironically none of them were born there). Spirit - glad the weather is nice for you right now. and now for 40, you can kiss....
Originally Posted By dshyates Don't get me wrong, I don't want to vacation with the Red Necks either. I was just pointing out some of their strong points. But to be fair we send our highest class, cream of the crop Red Necks to WDW. Regular Red Necks rarely vacation outside of Gatlinburg and Myrtle Beach. Yeah America!!!!!!

Originally Posted By dshyates I'm doing sociological research and living with a clan of the Appalachain Red Necks (Hillbillious Red Neckus).

Due to geography and limited trust in late, late model pick-up trucks the two rarely encounter each other in the wild. When they do they tend to send out the clan leaders with offerings of Whiskey and various local pipeweeds. Its usually pretty tense while everyone waits for the High-Five. If everything goes well the clans will usually light the ceramonial grill and crack open the Igloo "treasure chest" filled with American Premiums. Unfortunately after the alcohol starts flowing they almost always breaks down to clan wars (Feud) started by something like an insult to a favorite NASCAR Road Warrior or mocking each others formal headresses (The Appalachains wear "ball caps" and the Texans wear a much more elaborate "cowboy hat" that they adourne with snake skins, feathers, silver and tourquios). I am compiling my research now, but I have enough for an entire book. The most fascinating chapter is about their mating rituals. Where the Texan males will form a pack and take the truck to town looking for mates. The Appalachains...um....well...don't.

Or Sci Fi Dine In, or even 50's Prime Time?

If any of you ever learn the true bliss of what being a Red Neck is, we'll welcome you into our club with open arms. The arms will be open, but there will be a beer in each hand. One for me. and one for you. Actually we lean just as much to ball caps here in Texas as we do to cowboy hats. I wear neither because I still have a full head of hair, and my teeth have crowns on them.

They just add new segments every now and then when a great onnew attraction is added to the park--<< Thank you Christie ... I never put on the Travel Channel .. and when I did - boom ... the two WDW shows that night ... and since both were a first for me ... I naturally assumed that the one you are referring to was one complete new show - from beginning to end. The next time WDW adds something new .. I'll expect to basically see a "repeat" of 90% of the show.

I consider myself a native, but actually didn't move there from Boston until I was almost 9. And the wierd thing is even all the new generations of kids being born here aren't raised as 'Floridians' but more as 'hybrids' on feet! <<Spirit - glad the weather is nice for you right now. and now for 40, you can kiss....>> Oh, I know I'm one of the folks in FLA that you adore! ... now, check your email!
