Blue Necks
Blue Necks are northern Honkies -- the opposite of Rednecks. Since there are Redneck jokes, here are some takes on how Southern folks look at Northerners (or how Northerners sometimes think of themselves):
YOU JUST MIGHT BE A BLUE NECK IF...
....Instead of referring to two or more people as "Y'all," you call them "you guys," even if both of them are women.
...You think barbecue is a verb meaning "to cook outside."
...You think Heinz Ketchup is really SPICY.
...You would never stop to buy something somebody was cooking on the side of the road eg., boiled peanuts).
...You don't have any problems pronouncing "Worcestershire sauce" correctly.
...For breakfast, you would prefer potatoes-au-gratin to grits.
...You don't know what a moon pie is.
...You've never had an RC Cola.
...You've never, ever eaten okra -- fried, boiled, or pickled.
...You eat fried chicken with a knife and fork.
...You've never seen a live chicken, and the only cows you've seen are on road trips.
...You have no idea what a polecat is.
...You don't see anything wrong with putting a sweater on your dog.
...You don't have bangs.
...You would rather have your son become a lawyer than grow up to get his own TV fishing show.
...You drink either "Pop" or "Soda"- instead of "Cokes."
...You've never eaten and don't know how to make a tomato sandwich.
...You have never planned your summer vacation around a gun-'n-knife show.
...You think more money should go to important scientific research at your university than to pay the salary of the head football coach.
...You don't even have one can of WD-40 somewhere around the house.
...The last time you smiled was when you blocked someone from getting on an on- ramp to the highway.
...You don't have any hats in your closet that advertise feed stores.
...You have more than one professional sports team in your home state.
...You call binoculars opera glasses.
...You can't spit out the car window without pulling over to the side of the road and stopping.
...You don't know anyone with at least two first names (i.e., Joe Bob, Faye Ellen, Billy Ray, Mary Jo, Joe Dan, Mary Alice).
...You don't know any women with male names (i.e., Tommie, Bobbie, Johnnie, Jimmie).
...You don't have Maw-maw's &Paw-paw's.
...You get freaked out when people on the subway talk to you.

Offhand, I'd say tomato (sliced) between two pieces of bread with mayo and salt. I generally toast my bread and use some basil, too.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing ... I can't imagine someone that has not eaten a tomato sandwich, lol ... they are great when you pick the tomato's fresh from the garden. Originally Posted by conalabu

Cheerwine and Sundrop rocks too! Dukes Mayo ...
Moonpies are awesome especially when you put them in the microwave for about 20 seconds ...
I have to admit that barbecue basically means to cook outside for me ... as in BBQ a pig for a pig pickin / or cook on the grill ...
Funny stuff!!

Mater sammiches rock! White bread, mayo, lots of black pepper, and a tomato fresh from the garden. It's a little slice of heaven.

Hilarious - thought I'd respond and give you guys a more of an idea who I am.
YOU JUST MIGHT BE A BLUE NECK IF...
....Instead of referring to two or more people as "Y'all," you call them "you guys," even if both of them are women.
Y'all. I've been guilty of using a few all y'alls as well.
...You think barbecue is a verb meaning "to cook outside."
Could go either way on this one.
...You think Heinz Ketchup is really SPICY.
Jalapenos are good, beyond that is too spicy for me.
...You would never stop to buy something somebody was cooking on the side of the road eg., boiled peanuts).
I'd stop, sound good. Mostly just lemonaid stands here though.
...You don't have any problems pronouncing "Worcestershire sauce" correctly.
Haven't figured out what that stuff is for yet.
...For breakfast, you would prefer potatoes-au-gratin to grits.
Potatoes are easier to eat while driving.....in theory I mean
...You don't know what a moon pie is.
Get one every couple years.
...You've never had an RC Cola.
Had many, prefer Coke.
...You've never, ever eaten okra -- fried, boiled, or pickled.
Just fried. Picked sounds good.
...You eat fried chicken with a knife and fork.
People do this??
...You've never seen a live chicken, and the only cows you've seen are on road trips.
Gathered eggs and raised cows.
...You have no idea what a polecat is.
Seen (and smelled) quite a few lately
...You don't see anything wrong with putting a sweater on your dog.
Just say no to pet fashion.
...You don't have bangs.
Usually do
...You would rather have your son become a lawyer than grow up to get his own TV fishing show.
Do I get a bass boat out of the deal? Then TV show
...You drink either "Pop" or "Soda"- instead of "Cokes."
Pop
...You've never eaten and don't know how to make a tomato sandwich.
Anything better in the summer? Other than a cold beer after mowing the yard.
...You have never planned your summer vacation around a gun-'n-knife show.
Don't take scheduled vacations.
...You think more money should go to important scientific research at your university than to pay the salary of the head football coach.
Doesn't matter, UNL football program is self funding - go Huskers!
...You don't even have one can of WD-40 somewhere around the house.
I have one next to the computer.
...The last time you smiled was when you blocked someone from getting on an on- ramp to the highway.
Nope.
...You don't have any hats in your closet that advertise feed stores.
I have a Co-Op hat somewhere

None! Go Huskers!
...You call binoculars opera glasses.
LOL, ok, next question.
...You can't spit out the car window without pulling over to the side of the road and stopping.
I go for distance with sunflower seeds.
...You don't know anyone with at least two first names (i.e., Joe Bob, Faye Ellen, Billy Ray, Mary Jo, Joe Dan, Mary Alice).
Can't think of any.
...You don't know any women with male names (i.e., Tommie, Bobbie, Johnnie, Jimmie).
Can't think of any.
...You don't have Maw-maw's &Paw-paw's.
A what?

Underground transportation is for prairie dogs.
