I don't know why they call us "Hillbillies"!
Why one would have to live as far North as Plain Dealing (where the real hills are) and they certainly aren't drilling the shale up there, right?

Think they'd welcome us Hilbillys when a bunch of us retire early and start traveling abroad to spend some of the bucks over there?

Had a little girl from Oklahoma visit my family this year and when she walked up on our porch, she used the term "redneck hillbilly" to describe our home. I was soooo proud !
Let 'em think what they want (overseas & elsewhere in the U.S.) We know why we choose to live here and it's not because we thought we'd all be rich one day... it's because neighbors look out for eachother and really care about their communities.
The HS is just a little 'Lagniappe' (LanYap) for us. Cajun term for 'a little something extra'.

I would rather be a redneck hillbilly than an Okie with no manners!

From what I understand the reason Texas does not fall into the Gulf of Mexico is because Oklahoma sucks.

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of)  nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.
