Check in if you live in a small town and you have at least one Yokel driving around in a jacked up

[Snotcicles]

pickup truck with extra large flags mounted in the bed.
My town has two.
I just want to know if it is a homegrown thing.

[w8liftinglady]

1. no, we have a ton of them (No pun intended) in Ellis County, Texas

[madmom]

2. Several around nw Ohio too.

[hlthe2b]

3. Uggh... those jackasses live to ride your bumper & intimidate....

It gives me visions of doing something, I'd surely NEVER want to do. Cretins. Not seen so frequently in Denver, but outside and on western slope--you bet. :eyes:

[brer cat]

4. Same here in no. Georgia

Plus a few motorcycles with flags almost as big as they are...sometimes confederate even :(

[Shagbark Hickory]

31. I just saw where you are. I see them all the time cruising through helen. n/t

[dawg]

43. Were they flying Bavarian flags?

[Shagbark Hickory]

45. I'm afraid not. n/t

[RebelOne]

40. I am Woodstock, northwest of Atlanta

and I have seen plenty of them. They have the Confederate and American flags in the beds of their pickups.

[L0oniX]

5. Yea we have then here too ...sad.

[CurtEastPoint]

6. Why is the US like this? In Europe you never see such jingoism. n/t

[gratuitous]

8. My guess

Some people need a constant reminder of what country they're in, or they're liable to forget.

[treestar]

32. LOL!

:rofl: I think you're right.

[RZM]

12. Try watching the World or European Cups. Or any large festival concert

Such as 'Rock am Ring' in Germany. The crowds at those are filled with flags.

[CurtEastPoint]

28. Yep, I forgot about soccermania. I guess I meant on everyday t shirts and bumper stickers.

[RZM]

7. I've seen plenty in my day

But I can't say I've ever given a shit. If somebody wants to drive a jacked up truck with flags on it, who cares?

[Snotcicles]

9. Whew, don't feel so bad now. Do they always have at least two Flags also? nt.

[TwilightGardener]

10. We have the "Don't Tread On Me" truck guy. It's a pickup with a cap

and the HUGE snake decal that takes up the entire rear window. He's always parked at our local gas station/cafe on the corner when I take my kids to school--we look for him every day (and snicker).

[archiemo]

11. We must live in the same town! My yokel

Drives around in his jacked up mud-athon truck with a large confederate flag flying in the bed.

[Snotcicles]

15. Thats him................... Do they have a club or something? nt

[Brickbat]

13. Yes to the small town, no to the yokel. But then, I live in a very, very blue area.

Our "yokels" log, come into town once a month, and vote a straight Democratic ticket.

[Snotcicles]

20. Use to be like that here. nt

[PA Democrat]

14. I saw one with a large confederate flag driven into high school parking lot

by a student. I live in a conservative part of PA.

I hope that flapping confederate flag cut down on the jerk's gas mileage.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

16. saw one just yesterday --

silly fucker.

[MineralMan]

17. I live in a big city, and we have 'em, too.

They're everywhere, it seems.

[laylah]

18. OMG! Why would anyone

unrec this thread???/ :rofl:

THAT said, not only do we have numerous trucks w/extra large flags mounted in the beds, they also have balls!

[jdlh8894]

19. "Extra Large Flags"

Of what variety?
Rainbow?
US?
Bonnie Blue?
VA Battle ?

Maybe they are just drying their laundry!

[lumberjack_jeff]

21. I have the truck, sans flags. n/t

[Arugula Latte]

22. In 2004 we had a guy here in Portland, Ore. who had a flag-festooned Bush-mobile truck

Sometimes he would park it and stand on the corner with signs taunting all the liberals. Haven't seen him in awhile.

[Brother Buzz]

23. One Yahoo with a Gadsden flag

and a ton of bumper stickers (I wonder if they are covering up whiskey dents). The best I can figure, he has a general dislike for Commie Socialist terrorist Muslim fascist tree huggers, and Ron Paul has been canonized.

[NV Whino]

24. I've seen one

I suspect he is from the red neck faction over the hill, but never the less, it is the Napa Valley.

[Ship of Fools]

25. You can't swing a dead cat around here and miss one ...

they're everywhere in Kansas.

[TheCowsCameHome]

26. There's some around here, too

I saw a couple recently with big flags, plus a confederate flag flapping the middle. The driver looks like he hasn't had a bath since the truck was built (70's anyway)

[Marr]

27. I live in Los Angeles and we've got those guys here. It's a whole subspecies.

Giant truck... plastic truck nuts hanging off the trailer hitch... decals with a tribal pattern... usually some sort of slogan like "mess with the best, die like the rest".

[jwirr]

29. Well that kind of describes Craavack but I don't think I have seen

any flags!

[ThomWV]

30. Yep, not only him but his brother, his uncle, a sister and his three step dads with the same truck.

[dionysus]

33. after 9/11, this guy welded a full sized (albeit shortened) flag pole to his flat bed, and had a

full sized flag flying from it.

you'd be amazed how quickly that will make a full sized flag go to tatters....

[quakerboy]

39. We had one of those

He parked near us, and it generally took less than a week for the flag to start looking like shit. Several of us took turns leaving him notes about how disrespectful it was to display the flag in such a diminished state.

[dionysus]

48. when he was driving full speed, you could hear the flag ripping in the wind. it was funny, and sad..

[Mnemosyne]

52. I used to blatantly stand there and take photos of their beaten flags, hypocrites galore.

Sometimes the camera didn't even have film and with a digital they had no clue if memory card was there either.

Did it at businesses too. Electric company here had a new flag the next day. hehehe

[TreasonousBastard]

34. Small town? I've seen 'em in Brooklyn. Not so much out here in farm...

country, though.

But there is a locally famous guy in a motorized wheelchair riding around town with a couple of flags flying off the back.

[librechik]

35. I see those people frequently around Denver

They are not alone

[sammytko]

36. never seen one here in small town south texas

[MedicalAdmin]

37. Minnesota checking in. Of course we got em.

Any place that would elect bachmann has to have them, don't they?

Next time on of those fucker tailgates me at night I'm calling the cops, giving my location, asking for help because the guy is trying to run me off the road (also - I think I saw a gun but I'm not sure), then I'll give my location, yell bloody murder and then stomp on the brakes. Next stop a private room at the hospital for anlityle r and r and the jail for a little one on one time with one of the brothers for him.

[quakerboy]

38. In one small town here in oregon

I saw more confederate flags a-flyin than anywhere in the south.

but I see plenty of those jacked up trucks even here in the "big(ish) city"

[Mnemosyne]

53. NW PA has more than I ever saw living in Alabama for three years. N/t

[bainz]

41. Don't see too many of those around here

When I lived in Florida, it was almost impossible to go anywhere without seeing Puerto Rican flags hanging from rear view mirrors. Never understood that one.

[raouldukelives]

42. Seen a few in Sonoma county

The most devoted seems to be a middle aged dude on a bicycle adorned with a few small flags and one large one pulling a trailer that also has two large flags attached. I overheard him hollering something about Obama once at a stoplight. I'm just glad he's green.

[madamesilverspurs]

44. One? Try numerous.

Just around the corner from where I live there's a big pickup (Honda, by the way) with two large flags, US and Gadsden. Across the rear window, a large handmade sticker of "OneBadAssMessAmerica". Under the front axle there's a cowbell, and the back end sports oversized blue(?) truckballs.

Yeehaw.

[loyalsister]

46. I have seen worse

I have a relative who painted their truck as a giant American flag. Stars and on the cab stripes on the bed. Drove around in it all the time.

[Dawson Leery]

47. These simple yokels exist in every state.

Including Connecticut.

[Donnachaidh]

49. sheee -it! We got bunches of em

Y'all got a problem with big tie - yers? :sarcasm:

heck, wealthy old white guys buy corvettes to over-compensate for *shortcomings*. Jacked up trucks are the overcompensation vehicle for rednecks. :shrug:

[krispos42]

50. Not in this elite NYC suburb.

These people wouldn't defile their imported luxury cars with a sticker! ;-)

And their are far more Puerto Rican flags flying from cars in the neighboring urban area than Confederate.

I'll see the occasional older couple still flying a pair of window-attached American flags from their rear side windows.


Although I did see a pickup truck with a big exhaust stack like a semi... except it stuck up from the front center of the bed.

:wtf:

[Mnemosyne]

51. NW PA, hell yes, along with the Confederate flag. Ignorant asshole redneck repukkklicants. n/t

[Zorra]

54. We call them liberals here in rural Arizona.

The yokels drive red, white and blue tanks with confederate flags on each corner and a 50mm in the turret for hunting jackalopes.

[roody]

55. Yes, here in NoCal.
