Uhm…North Carolina is not a hick state

Mom read my post on BooneOakley and asked, sweetly, “Where did you get the idea that North Carolina is full of hicks?” (Mom being from North Carolina, she didn’t take kindly to being called a hick by her daughter.)

Oh, no! I protested, I didn’t say North Carolina was full of HICKS. I said if you were looking for an advertising agency, North Carolina–being hundreds of miles away from Madison Avenue–would be considered in the STICKS.

Same thing, according to Mom. Ooops.

And so to all those North Carolineans out there, my profound apologies and no, I don’t think that you’re all a bunch of hicks.

Or sticks.
