Unfortunately, "Git'R'Done" isn't going away fast enough for me.
The thing I hate most about Larry the Cable Guy is that he makes
dumb-uninterested-hick-southerness appear to possess some sort of
mantle of coolness. This, IMO, causes unsophisticates to further
embrace the redneck ethic of "stupidity worship as a virtue". And
*that* is a little too close to Cut'N'Shoot, Texas for my taste.
