  This exclamation was screamed at me as my car winded through the extensive apartment complex that I live in.
After being mildly surprised that someone other than myself was a native English speaker, I scoffed at the idea that someone would go out of their way to embarrass themselves like that. As I continued to drive past, I said what you may be thinking right now. "Trash. " Normally I would just continue with my judging ways and assume that I am, of course, superior to all. But I've been thinking about my Firebird dilemma quite a bit lately, and it occurred to me... "Wait.
My 'White Trash Index' could be considered quite high. " So, please allow me to get off my pedestal for a moment, and display for you, faithful reader, my white trash qualities. Hopefully, this irresponsible display will alleviate some of my shame. -I was born in the Snake River Valley, where teenagers live it up by country swing dancing, spitting tobacco, and cow-tipping. -I own a '68 firebird, which won't loose it's Flaming Chicken status until its pretty close to being mint.
-My brother and I also own a '74 Ford F-250. If you're wondering, its 'Aztec Gold' and liberally spattered with rust. Not to mention, it happens to be sporting some mighty glass packs, and used to have a gun rack. I kid you not. -There is a pair of cowboy boots in my closet right now. -I have nine rings in my ears, although I think that makes me a different kind of trash... -Within the last week, I've used the phrase "It was funnier than ALL GET OUT" as well as the word "Rig.
" -I'm listening to "Lynyrd Skynyrd" this very moment. -I've crushed a MGD beer can on my forehead. (Ya' see, there's a trick to it. You've got to dent the side of the can just slightly with your thumb before you smush it to your head. ) -I also spent a few summers as a kid hanging out at a horse ranch, where I learned to ride, and chew on hay.
-I've been to a bluegrass concert. Where they didn't have anything as fanshy shmanshy as 'Dr. Pepper. ' -I was proud to meet a bull rider. I'm not trying to imply that all cowboy behavior indicates 'white trash' because there are a lot of other qualities not mentioned. It's just a generalization, if you will. Dammit.
