I was joking, but I don't think it would be a bad sub-theme.

Some of us still put stock by our southern roots. To some, redneck is a term

redneck.  I wasn't trying to be negative, but BTW I don't think you have to
support the Confederacy to be a Southerner.

Anyway, I noticed that Playmobil makes one that's about the right size for a
front yard, but too big to fly from the back of a pick-up.
