Actually, I thought that hicks were an exclusive of the south (USA of course). Then I remember seeing some SCTV skits with John Candy and Dave Thomas where they were some hicks up in Canada driving to some big city with some lady. I was stunned that they even had hicks in Canada.

Do you mean "The Great White North," with Bob and Doug McKenzie? That's what it sounds like, but it was Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis.

PS — Michigan is full of hicks; the South definitely doesn't have a monopoly.

Oh, we got hicks all right. Some folks might consider me one. ;^)

Actually, Canadian rednecks would scare the living sh*t out of most normal people. Think of those 'Deliverance' boys without the sophistication. ;^)
