Long Branch Louie Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Wife says I am, so I might as well admit it. BTW, rednecks do NOT exist only in the South. But I have to admit, I like to hear an engine run with a big ol' honkin' camshaft in it, I can truthfully say I've done a few of these "Hey watch this" things when I was younger and I'm certainly not above doing some of the things Larry the Cable Guy talks about. I DO go to work everyday and don't get into trouble if I can help it. So, we got any other good ol' boy rednecks out there??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Proud to be a redneck: You might be a redneck if. . . •It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, "One nation, under God. . " •You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places. •You still say "Christmas" instead of "The Holidays." •You bow your head when someone prays. •You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem. •You treat Viet Nam vets with great respect, and always have. •You've never burned an American flag. •You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening. •You respect your elders and expect your kids to do the same. •You'd give your last dollar to a friend.

DocWard Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Let me think... I've gone swimming in a backwoods swimming hole after cutting off my blue jeans to make "swimming trunks" I love going four wheeling, and I have been stuck above the tires in mud before. Heck, I sank a Jeep Cherokee once. To me camping is something you do as far away from an RV park as possible, in a tent or the back of a pickup. Camping without a good time shooting whatever guns were brought is a wasted trip. Camping without breaking out the beer or adult refreshment of choice (after the firearms are put away) is darn near sacrilege. I understand and subscribe to the theory that "there is no replacement for displacement." I've worked on cars and pickups in garages and backyards, in all kinds of weather. As I result, I know it is possible to eat a ham sandwich with greasy hands without getting grease on the sandwich, and that coffee that won't put hair on your chest is worthless, better yet, have coffee that will rip out the hair it puts there. I learned, and earned, my signature the hard way. Yes, I may have slight redneck tendencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amongst our own kind it ain't no disrespect, but you'uns that ain't................ Well, I'm a Buckeye by birth, but both of my parents hail from Southeastern KY and the heart of Appalachia. They both learned the 3 Rs- readin', ritin', and route 23- north out of the state for a life better than the coal mines, where both of my grandfathers worked, along with a number of my uncles and cousins. I suppose I am as close to a "Mountain William" as one can get without actually being one. However, a redneck is a bit different. While there is disagreement as to whether it is the origin of our modern usage, the word "redneck" appears to have been used to refer to Scottish rebels in the 1600's. Many of those same Scots immigrated to the American South. The Scots-Irish influence in the U.S., particularly the South, is well known. Rednecks have been known to be everything from field workers with sunburned necks to union mine workers wearing red bandanas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My former boss once called me a yuppie when he found out I used to drive a Cherokee. That I took offense to, so I showed him a picture of it, mud tires, dirt and rust, and told him about the 360 with Holley carb, limited slip rear, 3speed manual....

Smokey Shayne Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Ive been called a redneck most all of my life. Around here, rednecks were popular long before Foxworthy ever thought of making a joke about us. For most of my working life, I have been in the Offroad industry. Either building trucks for mudding or rock crawling ... or building atv's for mudding. And it aint a deep hole unless its at least over the gas tank...and thats for trucks or atvs. Ive probably pulled more engines and trannys from a cable on a tree limb than I ever have in a shop. (my shop now has a piece of railroad track stretched across the top for pulling) Ive painted cars out in the middle of the yard, worked on jeeps worth tens of thousands of dollars in a tin roof shop with a dirt floor. You name it, Ive pretty much been involved in most all aspects of "rednecking" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouchy Greg, SASS#71981 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Around here, the college kids at the University of Mary Washington call us Fredericksburg locals "Frednecks". Yup, I resemble that remark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
