    To be fair, although it's not my favorite type of music, I should point out that country music used to be a legitimately genre until around the mid-90s, when it started to become popular (and therefore annoying). I blame Garth Brooks. He's pretty much the Lil Wayne of country music. I grew up around two parents who played nothing but the likes of David Allen Coe and Merle Haggard, so I know what I'm talking about here.

    Stringing together 3 chords and bragging about how much "muddin'" you like to do or claiming that real men drive only pickup trucks doesn't make you "country" so much as it makes you a pompous asshole.

    Also: fuck grits.

    No. Not in fucking Ohio. Not in a fairly affluent suburb of Dayton, where self-describing as "country" usually means racist, ignorant, and stupid in addition to playing "country music" stations, often wearing cowboy hats and flannel, and in some cases knowing someone whose parents let him throw parties on their farm while paying for him to go to college in his brand new F-150. It's the same shit you're dealing with, but there are plenty of people in the US who wear the label too. And where you don't have those, you have the ones who sag their pants, listen to Lil Wayne and Eminem, and shuffle around asking "What up mang?" and begging to be mercifully (for the human race in general) bludgeoned to death.

    Country bars in general suck but there is an upside. Girls like to get dressed up in cowboy hats (annoying) but they wear sexy tops, short shorts, and let loose a bit. For whatever reason I've known many girls who like doing this, and God dammit, I see no reason to hate on that.

    If anyone has been to an actual country bar, you know in the country, I think people would stop romanticizing it. In the country, AKA Wyoming, girls chew. In an actual country bar it smells of horses, hicks, and a hard life. An actual country bar does not have a mechanical bull, and people do not do jager bombs.

    Damn. *I* almost slid off the seat.

    I'm doing all my important St. Patrick's Day shopping today. Like buying Irish sausages and pork pies from the British market. Instead of going anywhere next week I'm going to gorge myself for two days. One night with an Irish breakfast and Guinness, the next night with cornedbeef sandwiches, braised cabbage, and more Guinness. Might pick up some Fuller's ESB as well. Not Irish, but whatever.

    My son's Cub Scout troop went camping with a Boy Scout troop last night. It's a requirement to do that to receive your "Arrow of Light" award which is the highest award a Cub Scout can receive. I think, anyway, I'm not known for paying attention to those things.

    Anyhow, one of the things the Boy Scouts were doing was awarding the Arrow of Light to some other Cub Scouts. The ceremony involved a big bonfire they poured something in to make green flames and a couple of white kids dressed up like Indians.

    That's a weird creepy cult.

    A "country bar" in Canada is a place where they fly various Confederate flags, and is full of people who think people from a city like me are somehow less Canadian than them. These hotbeds of culture and nightlife are usually located in small-ish commuter exurbs that wouldn't really exist were it not for the large city nearby.

    There was a brief period when Americans, Southerners for the most part, tried to argue that flying a Confederate flag was not a racist act, but was a symbol of States' rights or some amorphous libertarian ideal. That pretty much went away when everyone realized that the people actually flying Confederate flags were the worst kind of white trash racist rednecks.

    What purpose does it serve Canadians to fly a Confederate flag?

    Both of my professors decided to schedule important papers and tests right before the one day of the year that everyone in town gets drunk and parties. I need someone to validate writing a 5-7 page paper while suffering with the Irish flu as a great accomplishment. The paper is currently well-written and completed at 6 pages.

    I profoundly and sincerely do not know.

    Last year this same discussion happened and our resident Canadian redneck got involved. Something about how it's a symbol of the "don't tread on me" sentiment and said it was something a "cidiot" like me wouldn't understand. Yes, I know this makes no sense, I'm just trying to convey what he said.

    Nom had the best idea, though. Fly an Italian fascist flag and when anybody asks why you're flying it, say you just really fucking hate waiting for trains.

    The same reason anybody else would: they're assholes. And poseurs.

    I had a similar thought. More that those are not two sentences one often sees put together on this board than actually commenting on whether they can go together.

    Though maybe the first sentence was meant to be sarcastic? That would fit in with the general TiB aesthetic.

    This isn't specific to this post, but just in general. What do we have to do to get you to change your avatar to this?

    That's a strange way to describe anal sex.

    We had a $5,000 guitar stolen from my store today.

    This is the second time this has happened while I was the only manager on duty.

    FUCK.
