Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Test Your Redneck Knowledge


Recently, while driving in the American south, I observed a pickup truck with a large decal in the rear window.  It read "God & Guns", beneath two crossed pistols.  I noticed a couple other details in this chance encounter with authentic redneck culture.


Test your redneck knowledge with this short quiz:

1.  What was the make of the pickup truck?
a.  Chevy
b.  Ford
c.  Dodge
d.  Toyota

2.  Describe the driver.
a.  White male
b.  White female
c.  Black male
d.  Female Pakistani anesthesiologist

3.  What was the driver wearing?
a.  LaCoste polo shirt
b.  Tuxedo
c.  Sleeveless tee-shirt
d.  Nothing

4.  What was worn on the driver's head?
a.  Fedora
b.  Stocking cap
c.  Snap-back foam trucker cap
d.  Cowboy hat

5.  What was the truck equipped with?
a.  Trailer hitch
b.  Gun rack
c.  "No-bama" bumper sticker
d.  All of the above

The correct answers, in order, are:  c, a, c, c, d.  If you got all of them right, congratulations!  You certainly know your redneck culture.  And you know enough to be very careful in West Virginia and all points south.
