Both species represent four generations of East Texas inbreeding. Some the inbreeds tend to spend more time drinking outdoors which leads to a more magenta like appearance. The slight variation in color, therefore, is the only distinguishing feature separating the two groups.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-5115568384223830782007-08-10T12:22:00.000-05:002007-08-10T12:22:00.000-05:00I think a redneck is the one where so many of thei...I think a redneck is the one where so many of their last words are<BR/>"Here, hold my beer, and watch this".
