31, nice score... I got the same thing. And I'm a redneck too.

Living up north just makes you stick out more. Plus I get to tell city boys just how useful they are.

I think an easy way to define "Redneck" is anyone who could survive basically unharmed if the lights went out tomorrow, the computers all failed, and we were back to the technology of the late 1800's. With a few modern things that aren't electronically dependent.

I'd have no problem staying fed, keeping water coming, or making ammo...

What college did you guys go to? You have a Bsc in Mech Eng?
I am a Mechanical Engineering Technologist. Started off in university and dropped out in second year then went and got the diploma. I'm pondering going back one of these days and finishing for a full degree...we'll see how the economy goes.

Excellent definition...That makes the term redneck sound a hell of a lot better than what people typically associate with it.

Now there's a good question. Let me ask my wife, who also happens to be my cousin, what she thinks.

That's easy.

Hicks don't know any better and never will.

Rednecks know better but don't care and never will.
