We are full-blooded Yankees, we think the Confederate flag is stupid, we believe Texas is called the “Lone Star State” because the first person there happen to be a reviewer and that’s what he rated it and we believe that any politician who has Bush for a last name is a complete imbecile…well at least I thought we were.
When I found out she watched NASCAR I couldn’t believe it, us Northerners don’t watch NASCAR it’s sacrilegious. We also don’t like the Dallas Cowboys but that’s exactly where I see this thing going, so I need to fix this with a quickness.
What is a concerned brother to do? Now I know vampires don’t like crosses and holy water but what does a redneck not like, should I show her some dentures and maybe throw some bathwater on her, would that work?
Now I’m not hating on rednecks, to each their own, but we just don’t do NASCAR! It would be just like a member of the Klu Klux Klan going to a Jay Z concert, it just isn’t right…or safe. She’ll never be able to go North of the Mason-Dixon again, she’ll be stuck in the South forever. During our next Civil War (this time over guns) she’ll be stuck down here with all the gun toting crazies who think life is a cartoon and they are Yosemite Sam.
I know some of you may think, “NASCAR what’s the big deal”, but NASCAR is the gateway redneck drug. First NASCAR then next thing you know she’s wearing overalls and trying to date her brother, who hopefully will not be me. No more “yous guys” now she’ll be saying things such as “y’all” and “yee haw”, how sad and very unfortunate.
I guess I could always just disown her and pretend I don’t know her but realistically what would that solve? I need to figure something out, I need to find a way to exorcise this redneck demon, El Diablo John Deere if you will. I could wrap her in an American flag and beat her with a cannoli or some New York style pizza but then I’ll get locked up and she’ll just go more redneck because the COPS cameras will be there rolling.
I’m lost, I don’t know what to do. I’m just praying to the Northern Jesus that she’ll come around. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

OMG this is hilarious! My favorite parts were that Texas is the Lone Star state because that's the rating a critic gave it and that NASCAR is the gateway drug to redneck. Awesome funny stuff!
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate - my husband is from Tennessee and while he has pretty much zero redneck tendencies, there are people in his family that just being around cause a person to start speaking with a draaaawwwwwllll, y'all. Shudder.
Perhaps an intervention for your sister is in order. Pronto.
Thanks girl...I'm glad you like it...and always appreciate your feedback...especially when it's positive. Thanks for being so supportive...you rock.
DeleteBreak him of that habit with a quickness girl...it's a dangerous habit...and can lead to worse things.
Haha I am a Boston girl myself but i have always wanted to go to a Nascar race. I feel like I need to check that box! Plus, a sports event where you can bring your own beer- win/win!
ReplyDeleteBoston girl...I hope you're okay with everything happening there today.
DeleteNASCAR is on your bucketlist...like on purpose...were you abused as a child?!
Oh yeah.....intervention is needed. Pretty soon she will start drinking moonshine and pulling out her teeth with a wrench!
ReplyDeleteOh please no...don't tell me that.
DeleteHahaha. Well...I can understand: I live in the South and didn't grow up here...but I live in a teeny-tiny bubble of blue (and purple) in western NC and actually, I quite like it. No, I can't do NASCAR and I don't have a lick of ink on my body (save what the pen did to me earlier today) but I AM getting an accent. It's okay, though: my husband's mom is from SC and she almost sounds English...I think that's what is happening to me until I remember that I am sometimes surrounded...by thick accents of, oh yes, my fellow rednecks. AHAHAHA
ReplyDeleteOh no...you're transforming too...run girl...run...before it's too late!
DeleteMy brother loves Nascar and we are from NY (Long Island). I thought the same thing at first and then he got me to watch it. It truly is the gateway drug, lol!! :)
ReplyDeleteHe loves it...please tell me he only watches it for the wrecks...at least that I can understand.
DeleteHilarious! "but NASCAR is the gateway redneck drug" I always thought it was sitting outside your double wide in a broken down lawn chair with a cigarette hanging out of your mouth and throwing beer cans at your kids. Although I could be wrong.
ReplyDeleteNo...no...no! That all comes way after NASCAR...that's why I'm trying to stop it before it gets too late.
DeleteThanks girl...you're the best.
ReplyDeleteLOL. Ohhhh well. We can't convert them all right?!
ReplyDeleteWe can't...why not...who says!?
DeleteI love the suggested methods of exorcism. The cannoli and pizza sound like such a great solution, makes me want to catch the redneck virus.
ReplyDeleteI really hope it works...because I'm ordering a pizza right now and I already have a cannoli in the fridge...wish me luck.
DeleteGosh...this is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteGood luck :)
Thank you very much...I'll need all the luck I can get.
DeleteWell, I can see your concern, but like they say, "if you can't beat them, join them!" Good luck -- I do like your pizza and cannoli idea. :)
ReplyDeleteNo way...no how...I can never do NASCAR...it's against my religion.
DeleteGee no wonder why you spend so much time over here... look at all the traffic, I thought I was gonna get run over for a minute! I have to admit Michael, my cack went limp by the second paragraph... when you said your sister and I heard Nascar and saw flashes of stupid cars rounding a track, I said "No! Not Michael". I figured it ran in the family. Thank God I kept reading. My cack is no longer limp. I'm sorry to hear about your sister! :-(
ReplyDeleteLove Cat
I'm telling you Kitty Cat...a blog is the way to go...I wouldn't steer you wrong.
DeleteYes...thank gawd it doesn't run in the family...I really think I would have to jumped of a bridge if I ended up liking NASCAR. Who really enjoys watching cars go around in a circle...like who really?
Thanks for a funny take on the way teens grow up. They start developing their own minds! And a cool blog, Michael!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much girl...I really appreciate it.
DeleteAs a REDNECK girl, I think I might need to put a hurtin' on ya, son! ;)
ReplyDeletePromises...promises...you're such a sweet talker. You don't NASCAR...do you!?
DeleteNow, now, now, I'm a northerner living in the south. Of course, that's New Orleans, which is actually not the south- in fact, has nothing to do with the south. So... nevermind.
ReplyDeleteSee you're from the cool part of the South...not the NASCAR watching moonshine drinking overall wearing sleep with your sibling South...so you're good.
