I don't understand what he means by "rice ready". If it's supposed to be some sort of insult, it falls short and doesn't make much sense - particularly coming from a South Carolinian.

South Carolina's early fortunes were built on rice plantations and aside from rice being SC's biggest cash crop in the early years, to this day South Carolinians (including me) probably eat more rice per capita than most folks in the world.

Rice is a good thing. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

That fella's probably not a local - maybe he moved here from somewhere else (ahem) and used all of his retirement funds to buy a car dealership. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
