Redneck Computer Geek

Most people assume rednecks are “stoopid”.  Not true.

Jeff Foxworthy defines being a redneck as, “…the glorious absence of sophistication.”  That’s sorta true.

I have run into a lot of people in life that are smart, technically skilled, and highly professional…AT WORK.  Then you get them home and they’d just as soon be floating in an inner tube down the river (with the obligatory side-tube to hold the beer cooler) as doing anything else.

These are blue-collar folks in white-collar jobs.  They are educated.  They are smart.  But once they get out of work, they PREFER the absence of sophistication.  They are practical, and maybe a little bit tasteless.  (”What do you mean a big tractor tire painted white doesn’t make a good flowerbed?”)

They’re real.  And they’re here to stay.

So keep your eyes peeled.  These fellers know how to blend in.  Some of them are easy to spot (especially by their sunburns after “race weekend”), but some of them could be sitting in a cube right next to you and you wouldn’t even know it.  (Unless his cube is decorated with pictures of dead things.)
