I once went to a halloween party and a guy that I knew was wearing a garbage bag. I asked him what he was supposed to be and he replied "white trash".

No kidding!? We drove through there on the way out. We've got some friends in there who'll be selling their place soon and there's one empty lot I called about. I'd rather a place the boys could raise some hogs and what not for 4H, but we'll see.
I'd sure like to be closer to Best of the West...
We really like the neighborhood. A good buddy of mine from work actually just bought the first house in the neighborhood there. They moved in a month or so ago. I know there was some drainage issue with some of the lots that has caused some of the neighbors to bicker, but we're up the hill from that and we don't have any problems. We enjoy most of our neighbors, but need more of them like you guys in there!

If your neighbors are so close you can see what's in their yard without binoculars you ain't really in the country. Suburb dwelling city folks who think they're in the country crack me up. You must have better white trash. Even in places where everyone lives in 20-500 acres like where I recently moved from the white trash park a trailer 20 feet from the gate/road because they don't want to pay the electric company to run the power out to the house when they charge by the foot. They will even turn the trailer around backwards so that the end with the box is toward the pole coming off the road.
Otto is my co-pilot.

Earl Campbell was from Tyler, but he moved to Plano. guess that makes him a Plano........ stop it, Roger. I just anointed the key board thinking about Bart's line at the dove shoot.

We dont get much WT around here.
How does white trash tend to vote, if you had to stereotype them as a group? For the white guy. In Texas, if more than one person you know has ever been to prison, you are white trash. It's not something we expect folks from "the City" to understand. Does that apply to Wyoming? Cause if it does I am white trash  better go build some yard art.....

This. well, that covers me. I thought you had to be related to somebody who'd been, but either way I make the cut with a few to spare.

He may have but Chris, who has now made it famous in northern Va, attributes it entirely to you.

Don't you be getting all PC on us now! I'm not... I think it's hilarious that only about five people know what we are talking about. And... I'll take the blame for the "now famous line in Northern Virginia".

Why is Bart picking on the beautiful metropolis of Gatesville...that's where I live. If you don't like beautiful scenery just stay out! If you happen to have a 1979 Scottsdale 4 toned Chevy w/glass packs and a don't RENIG in 2012 sticker on the back window...you'll fit right in here. Alot of the vehicles, yards, and houses are works of art. powdr

I'm not picking on Gatesville powdr. It's the place where Texas has the death row for chicks.
How cool is that?

You can live in a gated community, with lots of rules, or live in a rural area where people do what they want. I just ask people to have some self-respect. Art is fine with me. Trash is not so good.
