A question to ponder!

You Just Might Be A Hi-Tech Redneck

If your email address ends in ".over.yonder.com"
If you connect to the World Wide Web via a "Down Home Page"
And if the bumper sticker on your truck says "My other computer is a laptop"

You just might be a Hi-Tech Redneck!


Now, if your laptop has a sticker that says "Protected by Smith and Wesson"
If you've ever doubled the value of your truck by installing a cellular phone
Or if your baseball cap reads "DEC" instead of "CAT"

It could be that you are a Hi-Tech Redneck.


If your computer is worth more than all your trucks combined.
And if your wife said "either she or the computer had to go"...and you still don't miss her
Or, if you've ever used a CD-ROM as a coaster for your beer

You're more than likely a Hi-Tech Redneck.


Now, if you ever refer to your computer as "Ole Bessy"
Or, if your screen saver is a bitmap image of your favorite truck, tractor, or farm animal
And if you start all your emails with the words "Howdy y'all"


Now, if your spell checker knows words like "Y'all", "Yonder", and "Reckon"
And if your cars sit in the yard because your garage is full of dead CPU's, Printers, Modems, and Monitors
Or if your belt buckle is made from a dead 3.5" Hard drive

Then you are DEFINITELY a Hi-Tech Redneck!


..... If you have found yourself calling all the local software vendors to see
if they still sell the Daisy Duke Screensaver collection...

...If your PC Games collection consists of nothing but Bass Fishing tournament games....

...If you've ever tried to return your computer because you feared it was "gay"
when somebody suggested you defrag your harddrive....

If you bought a laptop so you can read Reader's Digest through the
Internet while in the outhouse....

Face it...Then you ARE a Hi-Tech Redneck...!!

Brilliant! I lived in Tallahassee, Florida for four years and a high-tech redneck was anybody in a bar with a digital watch.

Hey Guys, I didn't write this! I came across it while searching for a tractor screen saver. Having 'escaped' from Georgia last year back to the west coast, I (like you) appreciated the humor in it and thought I would share it with y'all! Seriously, Georgia was nice in many ways, but my 11 year old son was a virtual house-prisoner due to his severe asthma and the tendancy of the humidity to kick off an attack on him. (he hates using a nebulizer) So, for his sake, I took a job out here and the best reward I've ever had was when he told me that he hasn't felt so good since we left the west coast five years before! Not one attack since we've been back!!

P.S. - He can now run, ride his bike, and in general, have fun outdoors....which he couldn't do before!

Good one---just remember this you might be a hitek redneck if you have a G.P.S. on your tractor and not in your car or boat.

MarkV, that was a blessing to us! To see him out riding his bike, (bought new in GA. when his old one was stolen) RUNNING! In general, being a boy! I couldn't have asked for a better reward ever than seeing that, and him making the comments that he made. Do I like Southern California? Absolutely not! Too many people! We are fortunate to have found a little pocket of 'humanity' back up in a canyon and very few people....only 9 houses in the canyon. My wife is homebound due to Agoraphobia. Every generation on her mothers side has at least one with this problem. Not fun! She also has benefitted from the relocation and is doing well.
All in all, it was for the best. But boy, things sure would grow there in Georgia!
