ya might be a redneck if ~

[In_The_Wind]

your art is on velvet

>

[Wapsie B]

1. your idea of sculpture

is stacking your empty beer can collection.

[In_The_Wind]

5. been there ~ done that

with a whole lot of help from my friends

:beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

[BikeWriter]

2. You mowed your front yard and found a car up on blocks.

[In_The_Wind]

6. or the neighbor's bicycles

[Archae]

3. You go to family reunions...

To get dates. :-)

[In_The_Wind]

7. I'll pass on that one

I never did understand swapping spit with kissin cousins :wtf:

[Justpat]

4. You kill and/or run over all your entrees

and grow all your side dishes.

[In_The_Wind]

8. yep ... sounds like my family

don't forget the home growed pickled HOT peppers ... gotta kick it up a notch or 3

[xmas74]

12. I try to grow as many of my side dishes as possible.

But it doesn't bother me when someone calls me a redneck.

[In_The_Wind]

15. it does taste much better when it's fresh picked

you a redneck ? I never woulda guessed

[xmas74]

16. I live in MO.

For some, that's enough.
But I do accept when my friends kill turkeys and give them to me. Or their extra fish.

[In_The_Wind]

17. pluckin feathers is a real pain

but what the heck ... free fish & fowl ain't half bad no matter how ya look at it

:hi:

[xmas74]

18. Exactly.

Free is free. And it's fresh so it tastes much better too.
I know where it came from and I know how it was killed and processed. So I figure it is much healthier for my daughter than going to the store and purchasing it in cellophane.

[In_The_Wind]

20. I agree with everything you're sayin

so many things happen to our food before we see it ... we don't need to eat meats laced with antibiotics and chemicals ... and I don't believe that there is an acceptable level of rat feces in human food as the board of health does

[xmas74]

22. I'd rather see it first.

At least my daughter knows where it actually comes from
And rat feces is not acceptable.

[In_The_Wind]

49. exactly my point

while we're talking about acceptable food handling practices - when was the last time you found an out of date package for sale in your supermarket

[Justpat]

26. Actually, I grow a lot of side dishes too.

But I draw the line at runnin' over dinner.

[xmas74]

28. I do too.

I dispatched for a small town once. They had a "deer kill" list. If someone hit a deer, you had to call down the list until someone said that they would pick it up. We called it the "Free PD Roadkill List".
You'd be surprised at how many people were on the list-and most of them were not poor.

[tonekat]

29. A friend of mine said he hit a deer once...

...and at least five people stopped and asked him "uh, do you want that?" It was in Maryland.

[xmas74]

37. I'd believe it.

I understand a few of the places on the list. One of them was a church that offered a free meal for anyone in the community on Sunday night (lots of migrant workers, homeless and elderly used to attend this meal. And they didn't try to convert others to their religion). Another was a person who would process the meat free of charge and donate it to the local food pantry. But quite a few were just greedy and wanted something for nothing.

[Sannum]

9. You seriously injure yourself protectin' your woman from a squirrel...

Yes. It happened to a member on the redneck side of our extended family. We just hear about them and roll our eyes. Big time Freeper/Aggie. There was a squirrel in the house. He got the rifle and shot himself. :crazy:

The squirrel was not injured.

[In_The_Wind]

10. thus far you win the #1 redneck prise

:spray:

:rofl::applause:

[Justpat]

11. Too funny for words!

[BikeWriter]

13. You have a flower planter made from an old tire.

[In_The_Wind]

14. oops ... I have two of those

but I haven't painted them ... they have the split edge look and they're bloomin

[BikeWriter]

24. I remember back when there were lots of those around!

[In_The_Wind]

42. these two weren't easy to find

[texas1928]

19. your dog looks like this.

[In_The_Wind]

23. or this

>


the hat and glasses are a nice touch :thumbsup: for your dog

[MountainLaurel]

21. There are more toilets in your yard

(probably with geraniums planted in them) than in the home itself.

[BikeWriter]

25. I presented one neighbor with a toilet "sculpture." She...

retaliated with a pink flamingo mail box...

[MountainLaurel]

32. That's fabulous

Revel in the tacky!

[BikeWriter]

33. Yep, then I went to the livestock auction and bought...

a potbellied pig, and gave a bottle of scotch to a calligrapher friend of mine. He made up a fine looking pedigree for the pig. We shampooed it and presented it to her the next day. :)

[In_The_Wind]

39. than in your house

[Justpat]

27. I am laughing so hard at this whole thread. eom

[In_The_Wind]

36. do ya have an extra refrigerator in the garage or on the back porch

just for beer and soda

[Dervill Crow]

43. Doesn't everyone?

[In_The_Wind]

44. one could only hope so

night crawlers can go all icky in the veggie bin

[benny05]

30. Rich People have Auctions

Rednecks have yard sales....

[In_The_Wind]

35. the elite rednecks call em tag sales

[brainshrub]

31. You don't have a political party that looks out for your interests,

so you have to vote Republican.

Think about it, because ultimately that's why Republicans win elections. The only thing I agree with conservatives about is that, somewhere along the line, Liberals got a bit snooty and started looking down on rural folk.

IMHO, rural "rednecks" have to dump a racist ideas and Liberals have to dump elitist ones. Ideas such as: "Just because you can't afford to buy your art at Pier One, there is something inherently wrong with the art you do own."

[sakabatou]

34. Soemone yells hoe-down and your wife drops to the floor

[In_The_Wind]

38. oooww ?? !

[benny05]

40. You Watch Rocket Rigs

[In_The_Wind]

41. dang

had to do me a google on that one :dunce: thought I was a right proper redneck

[no name no slogan]

45. Every car you've ever owned is in your yard, up on blocks (nt)

[In_The_Wind]

47. that would be a big yard if you include the dirt track race cars

[Arkana]

46. You might be a redneck if...

...your idea of fast food is hitting a deer at 55 mph.
...you can amuse yourself for more than an hour with a flyswatter.
...your neighbors think you're a detective because a cop always brings you home.

And finally--

...if your mother has ever come out of the bathroom and said "Y'all come look at this afore I flush it."

[In_The_Wind]

48. omg ... people really do all of that !
