sure, or plastic.
No, scratch plastic, that would be a terrible idea and only fools would suggest it....

Your knowledge of Americana is about what I would expect of psuedo-sophisticate Eurotrash. While my neck does indeed get red after a couple of weekends of practice if I forget my sunscreen the only real rednecks in Florida are in the panhandle and I-10 corridor but we call 'em Crackers down here. And no, not for the reason you think.
And even if I were a redneck I would know better than to hang streamers of toilet paper in the VIP section.

LOco,
Knowing your weaknesses is part of life. I know mine and I have come to terms with them. One of yours is style (hate to break it to you), so that means you shouldn't comment on anything to do with Style, presentation, etc. It makes you look silly, and I don't like that. Its OK for me to make you look silly, but doing it to yourself is taking the fun away.
You stick to your fancy words and apparent knowledge of where your Florida rednecks (neighbours) live. I will stick to what I do.
From spending a little time in Florida, I can only say that with the exception of South Beach, Miami, it seems mostly populated by people who are strangely able to take 3 times as long to do simple tasks than any other group of people I have come into contact with. They speak slow, they work slow, they struggle with vocabulary, they have those inane grins on thier faces for no apparent reason, they are short on teeth, dress like bums, and I'm just getting started!
A prime example of local Floridians would be the NPPL cleaning crew at the Tampa event. A fine group of Floridian specimens if ever I saw them!
I am not talking about the Floridian paintballers. They are subjected to normality through travelling the country and seeing how others live. Its the locals, the people that have never left the state, that I am refering to.
And I am not Eurotrash. I don't even consider myself European! Europe is France eastwards. Everyone knows that!
Example of a redneck - someone who thinks its OK to wipe thier sweaty ass on VIP decorations because that must be what they are there for.....

Style cues from a guy who wears board shorts that stop inches above his knees? Please. Have you stopped wearing dress socks with your sandals yet?
Otherwise I will confess to not giving a fig about what is trendy, stylish or popular.
And to make cracks about the dental hygiene of Undocumented-Americans when the natives of your homeland are the butt of the whole world's bad dentist jokes takes hubris to new heights.
Europe is France eastwards, is it? Wake up and smell the Euros. No doubt you will be asserting your independence even as Brussels is telling you which hairgel and toothpaste to buy and posting ettiquette rules, in triplicate, for the use of public toilets.

we don't use Euro's, we use pounds, thats France eastwards, remember what you learned earlier?
and I wasn't making fun of all Americans, just ass-backwards Floridians. The dental thing I can accept, but its a different dental issue in Florida. In the UK we are famed (unfairly) for having yellow and even uneven teeth, but the fact remains that the majority of Brits still have teeth, which is more than I can say for the bearded waitress that served me in Tampa...
Message to Floridians - Love your family, just don't 'LOVE' your family...
sorry about the boardshorts, I celebrate the abilty to pull the shorts up above my groin, due to the absence of a large overhanging gut...

Here's a few ideas....
Paintballers - more gossipy than teenage girls at a slumber party?
Hypocrisy and paintball: are you one or is it just the other guy?
Common sense, intelligent discussion, and 10 more things you won't find in paintball (or "on pbnation"... I couldn't decide which I liked better)
Lifestyles of the rich and famous paintballer
Trendsetters - the growing fashion sense of paintballer; or "style isn't just a mesh trucker hat"

So let's see where we are now--
ITN remains in denial about EUtopia.
ITN thinks hockey players for the NHL champion Tampa Bay Lightning are all hicks and losers because they are missing a few teeth. Why many of them are citizens of Canuckistan.
ITN casts aspersions on all Floridians based on experience with one waitress but fails to explain whether he was sober or not. If you were in the Pink Poodle--again--you should have realized none of those "ladies" were women.
ITN confuses Florida with Alabama where the family trees have no branches.
ITN admits to a style faux pas and apparently continues to wear the dress socks.

OK, I would say the following
Apart from that you're bang-on, as usual....
Denial is in Africa.
I was under the illusion that Yankee money-grabbing capitalism had put an end to the NHL, and that as a result the ugly semi-toothed Canadians had gone home, leaving just ugly semi-toothed Floridians....
For once I was sober, it could have gotten really nasty if I hadn't been though!
So you say...
Thats Eastern EUtopia. Your commie pinko conrades do that socks and sandals thing. I am from the Island. We only get to wear sandals for 2 weeks every year and so definitely would not wear socks at the same time. We wear socks for the other 50 weeks of the year.
Apart from that you're bang-on, as usual....
Just a brief labor negotiation gone stale. All the foreign players live in Florida--no state taxes. Goes for golfers, baseball and basketball players. Thick as palmetto bugs.
Indeed.
I probably shouldn't confess this but we actually have an Alabaman on the team though I won't go so far as to out him.
Saved this last part for my scrap book.
