i gotta tell you, you guys just proved me wrong. in the cream of wheat article i commented on overly sensitive recipients of stereotypes, and how hillbillies were not on this large list of groups. come on people, who give a crap what hollywood thinks of us. it’s a god send. it scares people from invading our unsoiled way of life and overrunning it with iphones and pop music, fast food and desk jobs. it would no longer be gods country. america is slowly decaying due to commercialism and evergrowing technology. the outside world is growing lazy, spoiled and thoughtless. why worry about what these people think about us. if, god forbid, war ever hits american soil, do you think the cubicle athletes with carpal tunnel syndrome, the guy who depends on fast food for nutrition and carries pepper spray are going to do anything for this country? no, it will be the survivalists. the hunters. the hard working blue collar hillbilly who spends his life earning what he has and fighting to keep it. take some pride in that fact.

Hey, ya’ll, I kin rekollekt a growin up in Beaver Creek in Knott. Hit shore was fun. I recall them catalogs, newspapers, corncobs an’ sich thangs as that. I allus liked them air red cobs best cause they done a good job o’ cleaning and stopped the itch at the same time, but hit did cause a little burnin’ . I also didn’t know I wuz a hillbilly ’til I come to Ohio. They told me I wuz one. Took a long time fer me to catch onto what deyl wuz a trynna tell me tho. They shore talked funny. Come to find out, anyone they didn’t like wuz a hillbilly. Yep, I hadda haul the coal from the bank to th’ house; hadda dig hit first; hadda draw water from da well in a ten quart bailer. Hadda build the fire in the mawnin, get the coal in at nite, take the ashes out, chop the kindlin’ and sich thangs as that. Ifen I had it all to do over, wouldn’t change a thang ‘ceptin wouldn’t go to Ohio.

Congradjulashons Jackie, on the 12th I became a Granny for the 6th time.As for the story……..
Where I growed up in Kentucky, the only gym you cood go to was at the school.Everbody elses mom cood shoo you up the holler[make you go home].Packin water from the well was your job, no questions asked, or protests made.The garden was our convenience store, if you got hungry, you dug up a tater, rolled the skin off with your shirt, and ate it, dirt and all, and so fer, hit aint killt nobody I no of.Mebbe evun pick sum sour grass with them liitle yeller flairs.They was ever kinda nut tree you could want, and plenty of rocks to crack em open.So, before any uf y’all start feelun saree fer us HillBillys, thank about the Garden of Eden weuns was raysd in.

My favorite stereotypes are the ones that can still play records and have big speakers.

In my lifetime I have known of a close family type “relationship” only twice. One was in Michigan, the other in Ohio. Of all the years I have rambled through Ky I havent met up with any first cousins who were makin babies.

Its Ok in Appalachia to play but dont make babies, right?

The stereotype of intimate relations with close family members, such as brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, and first cousins, and that “I am my own grandpa” isn’t entirely true. Second and third cousins are like distant relatives, so they don’t count, as much. And remember that hillbilly educational program, the movie ‘Deliverence’, you don’t have to be kinfolk at all, as long as “you got a purty mouf”. Then there’s the worried look the livestock gets in their eyes when certain famiily members come into the barn. So keep in mind, stereotypes are’nt always true, most of the time.
