Need advocate

[Mike Markley]

Seconded... if Appalachian-Americans (euphemism for hillbillies ;) are
associated with that word people might quit ribbing me about it when they
find out I grew up in Texas...

Of course, half of my father's side of the family are all from the Virginia/
West Virginia area, but somehow the Texas redneck/cowboy jokes seem much
more appealing to most folks than the hillbilly ones... and so far I've only
gotten a single joke about hassenpfeffer from my mother's German heritage...
I guess Texans are just a more popular target :).
