More PR stuff
Another tale of gun maker PR. Only, Charter Arms responds appropriately and addresses concerns by getting the gun approved. In their defense, it is a pain in the ass to get a gun listed in Cali, from what I understand.
But when pointing out that you feel a bit discriminated against based on geography, probably not too bright to include something like:
Needless to say, I was shocked. This is the kind of attitude I might expect from some drunkard when visiting the South, but not from a representative speaking on behalf of a company at a national show for gun rights.
You’re upset because someone implied that folks in Cali are sissies. But it’s ok to call us dumb, cousin-humping rednecks bigots? Good to know.

Yeah, that kind of pisses me off. Pot, meet kettle.

“But, but, don’t you understand? I’m from California!!! I’m cool, people like me, and you’re supposed to show some deference when you bail us out!”

Actually, the South is known for the manners of the populace. We will call you “Sir” and speak politely while telling you your bigotry against southerners is deserving of scorn, and that if it continues our drunken redneck brothers will be called to join in the fun of beating you like a rented mule.
Have a nice day, y’all.

The thing of it is, there’s a ton of cousin-humping coon-kissing drunk-ass rednecks IN California! Just head up into the Gold Country or any-where away from the Bright-Lighters (as Cityfellers are called in Boontling). Boonville, where homicidal-suicidal, maniac-murderer preacher Jim Jones hailed-from. Go north, out into the Trinity Alps Wilderness, or south down into the barefoot hayseeds of the central-valley farming.

Sorry, I thought Kelly’s crack was funny. But then I’m a Southerner.

“down into the barefoot hayseeds of the central-valley farming.”
I was one of those “barefoot hayseeds of the central-valley”. 🙂 I grew up in Stanislaus County.
Us hayseed rednecks are EVERYWHERE! You will be assimilated! Resistance… is futile!

It’s bad enough his blog is filled with back-patting, “I’m-so-much-smarter-than-these-college-kids-I-have-to-work-with” crap, adding this post to the mix just makes it worse.

Huck, so was my great uncle! 🙂 There’s even a few barefoort hayseeds in Atherton, but they have pedicures. I have been channeling my inner redneck ever since leaving my inner hippie back in the patchouli-patch.

I am a southerner, I am a redneck, I am courteous until you prove you don’t deserve courtesy. I drink a gallon of 80 proof every six or seven days, never get drunk, so out of all his bigotry that one as regards me isn’t true, the rest apply. I’m still his intellectual and moral superior. Damn! That’s gotta hurt!

Must suck to be him.

As for the cousin humping, I suggest y’all ask your cousins, I can’t remember them all. None of mine were involved, though.
