How to tell if you're a High Tech Redneck!

[Tiretool]

• You take your net-connected cel phone to the outhouse to read your email.
  
• Your e-mail address ends in ".over.yonder.com".
  
• Your computer is worth more than all your cars combined.
  
• Your presence on the World Wide Web is a "Down Home Page".
  
• You tripled the value of your truck by installing a portable DVD.
  
• You trim the kudzu back from your trailer so it won't mess up your DSL.
  
• You ever refer to your computer as "Ole Bessy".
  
• Your screen saver is a bitmap image of your favorite tractor.
  
• You start all your e-mails with the words "Howdy!"
  
• You can fix a trolling motor with a set of PC tools
  
• You've ever used a CD-ROM as a coaster to set your beer can on.
  
• The bumper sticker on your truck says "My other computer is a laptop".
  
• You know that a 'network' has nothing to do with fishin'.
  
• Your baseball cap has an Intel logo instead of "CAT".
  
• You keep inventory of your truck parts, fishin' lures, and country music tapes in Excel.
  
• You've got every font ever made that looks like Old West signs or wood plank fencing installed on your computer.
  
• You have "Free Bird" and "Achy Breaky Heart" on the MP3 player in your truck.
  
• You find yourself humming, "Well, the first thing you know, old Bill's a billionaire..."!
  

I'm happy to report that I recollect doing over half of these things.

(The sentence directly above this one is a feeble attempt at humor. I haven't really done any of these things.)

Guess I'm not a high tech redneck then except for one of these ... I know that a 'network' has nothing to do with fishin'. As for "Ole Bessy", the name sometimes affectionally goes to my car.

Your screen saver is a bitmap image of your favorite tractor.

LOL

Your baseball cap has an Intel logo instead of "CAT".

Now that would be worth seeing! I grew up in a town not too far from the middle of nowhere and there are some people who I know I can count on my one hand the number of times I have seen them without a hat.

Respectfully,

Most of those don't apply, but I think I might have all the fonts...and I KNOW my computer is worth more than my car...and "coasters" aren't called that for nothing! (no beer on mine though, just Dr. Pepper)

Yep. AOL sends me coasters all the time in the mail.

About these AOL coasters, that hole in the middle is a nice feature ... it helps cut back on the suction.

And BTW, what DO they do with all the 'coaster holes'.

Food For Thought of course.
