1. Neither
I'm certainly not a mom and I can't drink anymore so I'm not that either.

4. Okay, I admit it
I have the remainder of a 6-pack of Samuel Adams Octoberfest in the fridge. However, it's been there since V was on FX a few weeks ago, I'm not a mom, I hate hockey, and my name ain't Joe.

5. Perhaps you aren't really an American
If you don't want that Octoberfest, I'll take it.

23. Octoberfest could change all that
I'm no fan of beer, but it's that good I'm afraid if I give in to it I'll wind up with a beer gut, a gun, and a moosehead on the wall.

:rofl:

6. None of the above.
I'm not male and I don't drink beer.
I'm not a mom nor am I full of hockey.

None of the above.

15. Soccer mom, Cub Scout mom, Kinderchurch teacher, Cheerleading coach, but
not a hockey mom and I don't drink beer so I can't be a Jo six-pack.

:cry: I don't count!!!

17. We are Americans, not stereotypes
I guess my husband could be a "Joe Sixpack", he's a union member, blue collar and drinks beer. He also target shoots at a pistol club. He hated Palin, thought she was talking to him like she was the kindergarten teacher and he was a child.

I'm not a hockey mom. My teenage son does not play hockey, he plays guitar, is capable of independent critical thinking, and can't stand the jock mentality that team sports tends to foster. He also doesn't have drug/alcohol problems or an arrest record necessitating "maturity rehab" by the armed forces.

25. No to both
About the Joe six-pack thing. If all the fundies are so in love with her, are they not offended by equating drinking alcohol to being a typical American? My Dad made the comment that "if she is so concerned about how foreigners perceive everything the candidates say, then why does she not see that this term is offensive to people in other countries as well as a lot of people in the Bible Belt?" My Dad is certainly no prude, but he has a point. We live in the Bible Belt and a lot of people are totally against drinking. Here we are in 2008 and so many smaller towns around us are just now voting on if they should have liquor by the drink restaurants. Our city went through this over 20 years ago. If you want commerce,you have to have it. Simple. You still have a lot of fundies rallying against it though. Hope that Palin's little soundbite comes back to bite her.

I'm an East Coast, liberal elitist. And I'm both (gasp!) a native New Yorker and gay!

I guess that means I hate America.

34. I dunno, I know some Marian-the-Librarian types (they do their homework/research) who are
nothing like Hockey Moms and Absent Professors who tend to sip their libations from glasses and critique everything from the armchair. They're sure not Joe Sixpacks. Generally speaking, I'd say that there are just lots of categories of Americans that would be insulted to think of themselves and Mr. and/or Mrs. Drunken Puck.
