I might be white trash
 
Because I have a television on my screened-in breezeway and a woodpile behind my metal shed.

How about you?

Nirvana 05-17-2011 09:30 AM

Because I am thinking about looting during the post Rapture chaos! :cool:

Leaving my door unlocked, hoping the post Rapture chaos brings raping and pillaging. ;)

Sundae 05-17-2011 11:19 AM

I am white trash because:

90% of my clothing is 2nd hand
I gobble up samples in shops
I take home leftovers (wrapped in serviettes)
I dream of winning the Lottery
I left school at 16
I will pick up coppers (1p & 2p coins) in the street and it makes my day if it's a higher value coin
I shop in Iceland, Lidl, Aldi and Wilkos

But you know what?
I'm English.
So there.

BrianR 05-17-2011 11:58 AM

I might be because:

1) The directions to my house include the words "get off the paved road"
2) My house has wheels
3) I have an inoperable car in my yard
4) I drive a pickup
5) I don't have a steady job
6) I haven't had a haircut in a year and a half (except a trim)
7) I shop in second hand stores (and Craigs list etc)
8) I consider beer a necessity (and a form of currency)


OMG! I'm a redneck!

And proud of it.

Now tot up your "yes" scores and check below to see if you are a Pikey:


0 Yes Answers:
You live in Mayfair and spend all your time in Harvey Nicks. All your friends are called Henry or Henrietta and you've never even heard of TopShop. You don't drive as your chauffeur takes you everywhere. You live on a macrobiotic diet carefully prepared for you by Jamie Oliver. The only airlines you recognise are those that daddy owns. The only pikey you have ever come across is a stuffed one created by Damien Hurst and showing at the Tate Modern.

1-5 Answers:
You're generally far removed from Pikey Island, however, your brother once introduced you to a girl who lived on an estate and shattered your illusions of Barrett Homes being a character from an Emily Bronte novel. You like expensive shops and generally only travel by London Taxi. Your mother once served you fish fingers, however you have adapated enough in adult life to only purchase Tesco's finest crab cakes as a substitute. You have the presence of mind to sneer at a bottle of Freixenet.

6-10 Answers:
You are definitely entering the danger zone here. You have owned at sometime in your life a pet fish won from a funfair. You regularly buy Superdrug's own brand toiletries but ensure you carry them home in a Clinique carrier bag. You have a number of gold cards and run a respectable enough car, however, you would do well to remove the "Baby on board" sticker from the back. You enjoy good food and wine courtesy of Delia Smith's home cookery course and have been to University.

11-15 Answers:
You have a whiff of dog blanket about you and your shoes need to be resoled. You enjoy garden centres and eating out at country pubs. You're quite well known at the local KwikFit and think nothing of sticking a Bart Simpson doll to your reat seat window. You have often enjoyed a curry or kebab after a night down the pub and have used a doorway as a public toilet. It is likely that you have been arrested for a minor offence and count George Best as an idol. You are likely to have been educated to A level standard.

16+ Answers:
There is no hope for you - you are well and truly an escapee from Pikey Island. You will now forever be known as first name "Pikey do as ya likey" surname. You think that Blue Nun is a choice wine and always cook Spag Bol at dinner parties. None of your home cutlery matches and a few of your mugs have established chipping to the handles. Every room in your house is painted Magnolia and you have a dado rail in your living room. You name children after pop or filmstars and buy the Sunday Sport as an informative newspaper. Your car is made by Ford and has fag burns in the driver seat. You've only been to Spain on holiday.

I've never seen Beavis and Butthead. Is it as good as Office Space?

kerosene 05-18-2011 07:03 PM

No. Actually, the episodes I watched didn't include all the stuff I remember where they were sitting in front of the TV making fun of music videos. That was why I stopped at 2 episodes. Severely disappointing, that was.

Beavis and Butthead can't possibly be considered "good" to anyone outside the age range of 13-15.

We're down to two types of olive oil, toasted sesame oil, bacon fat, unrefined cocnut oil, and butter. I might also want some good peanut oil, unrefined corn oil (amazing flavor) and walnut and grape seed oil. Maybe when the kids are older I'll have time to do proper cooking...

Oops, didn't include malt in the vinegar (that's our table vinegar) or Parmesan in the cheeses - does it count if it's grated? I prefer it shaved myself, but then I don't buy it.

From memory, we have half a dozen oils, three of them are different olive oils, probably 5 different cheeses, and 3 vinegars.

I've been trying off and on over the years to find a supplier of a specific olive oil. But I'm too lazy to call a specialty store to try to convince them to import a case for me. Most olive oil tastes pretty much the same, but I had a friend give me a bottle of this stuff after they returned from Italy, and it was amazing. Something about the soil in the region gives these olives a very distinctive flavor and makes a really interesting oil. I used to use it on pizzas and for dipping bread. I'd gladly pay $50 for a bottle of the stuff.

I do not get the whole string cheese thing. I tried some and it did not taste of food.

I know! I don't get it, either. My son, however, LOOOOVES it.

DanaC 05-24-2011 06:20 AM

Yeah. My youngest niece seems to like it.

I eat one every once in a while, but it's not very good. Too rubbery and salty. The kids love it though.

Kids are not reliable barometers of taste. My kids eat their boogers.

You're supposed to play with it, not eat it!

There are two kinds of string cheese.

The individually plastic wrapped mozzarella stix (yes, spelled that way) that are commonly called string cheese is not really string cheese.

Proper Armenian string cheese comes in a shape that looks like a hank of yarn, has some seed-looking things sticking to it, and has a complex flavor profile.

Yeah. The individual stix taste closest to butter - very bland.

I ride my lawn mower to the mailbox. And I have one of those blue upside down mushroom looking pools in my backyard 20 feet from the dog pen, which has no dogs in it. I also have seven dogs. I don't use the pen coz all of them won't fit inside and I don't want to show favoritism. So there.

How far to the mailbox? (just askin')

capnhowdy 06-05-2011 08:20 AM

Prolly about 1/4 mile. But I'd ride it even if it were closer.
