Only place I know to get pasties is Michigan (mostly the UP but there are a couple places in southern MI where you can fine 'em...) or a strip club :)

....of course, you may get something quite different if you ask a local NC redneck for a pint of white spirits..

In the 50's we called farmers and country folks who worked outside "rednecks" because many of them seemed like hicks and had red necks from working in the fields with caps on and short hair cuts in the summer sun. Most wore bib overalls and long sleeve shirts rolled up to the elbows. When they came into the city on the weekends with regular short sleeve shirts on the tan lines on the arms (called "farmer's Tan) and the red necks below the hair lines made them stand out from the city folk. Made fun of their attitudes, speach and ideas in the city. In the late 60's when hair got longer most red necks disappeared but the term did not and has evolved to Jeff Foxworthy and his followers.

Here's a handy tip for you to add to your fifty years of real-world experience. If you're going to say someone is prejudiced, at least spell it right. You don't say someone is "prejudice." You say they are "prejudiced." Fifty years and you never picked up on that?

You can call me anything you want. I don't care. So long as it is justified. Do I have a red neck? Yes. Am I a bigot? No. Was I born and raised in Texas? Yes. Do I have some Bubba-like traits? Yes. Am I a gimmie-cap wearing, beer-belly, Pearl beer swilling, white trash, uneducated, thieving, family abusing piece of garbage? Not at all. See how prejudice can get in the way?
