do some people look like they are from the suburbs
and graduated from a major midwestern college?

you know the pasty look suffused with splotchy redness; gap/banana republic/old navy uniform, replete with backwards ball cap; perfectly straight orthodontic device corrected BRILLIANT white teeth; move in packs around the bars in "costy" neighborhoods in large cities; create "brain drain" in their home towns because they flock to chicago or NYC after graduation; say things like "DUUUUUDE, I AM TOTALLY STOKED!," or "Brent is the total kegmeister DUUUUUUDEEE!!!!! PARTAY!!!!"

1. You just described most Texas college grads, except the part about
nice teeth.

3. and unfortunately
they do have modern dental practitioners in texas, sorry. i know how disappointing that can be to some people.

btw, texas snobs can outsnob the best northern snob any day of the week.

they have the art of the "look you up and down" mastered, plus the concept of "the help," and the plantation mentality are still alive and well in the south.

9. Oh, I don't mean TX isn't scary redneck. I mean a lot of southerners
don't want TX to be thought of as the South. Heck, when I lived in NC, my relatives had fights about whether VA was actually part of the South and they were sure MD wasn't!

I look like a middle-aged college- town boho/ ex punk. So there you go.


I refuse to succumb.

6. Actually, I think those people create 'brain drain' in the place they move
to!

Removing the village idiot doesn't make the village stupider...

11. Ahh, the typical fratboy type.
I know far too many of them. Don't forget the vertical striped button down shirt. That is a key element.

12. Never judge a book by it's cover.
One of the most elegant women I ever met grew up in a shabby trailer park.
