To look at me and talk with me you wouldn't say to yourself "this guy is a red neck." Personally, i don't consider myself one compared to some of the hicks i know, but i have had my fair share of moments through life. Growing up in a small agricultural driven community, the red neck life isn't avoidable. So i've made a list of the things i myself have done or experienced that would put me in the red neck category. ;-)
- Made a pool out of a pick up truck with some tarp and a garden hose.
- I not only know what "tough truck" competitions are, i've been to them and watched my friends win.
- The song "Cotton Eyed Joe" has been played at every dance and wedding function that i've been to since it came to be.
- My dad has a boat....and it's only use is being filled with water for the kids to swim in.
- We have burned our yard, as opposed to mowing it.
- You can find a can of Raid pretty much anywhere in the house.
- I keep butter, sour cream, and other food containers for left overs.
- I've had chiggers on several occasions.
- I've cleaned my finger nails with a stick.
- Was kicked out of a store for using cattle prods on friends.
- My dad's tail lights where fixed with red tape.
- We filled up the lawn mower with gasoline we siphoned from the car...more than once.
- I've spray painted mine, and others, names on overpasses/train cars.
- Directions to my house include "turn off the paved road."
- Going to the bathroom at night has on several occasions involved shoes and a flashlight.
- I use a blanket instead of curtains for my bedroom window.
- I've been to a funeral where beer was put in the casket.
- I've gone camping in the backyard on several occasions.
- I've used none working appliances as storage containers.
- I've raced Lawn Mowers.
- I've ridden a sled that was attached to a pick up truck.
- "Jiggle the handle" is a common saying in all the homes i've lived in.
- There has been a point where we had a working tv on a none working tv.
- Walker Texas Ranger was one of my favorite shows growing up.
- I've used WD40 as fire starter.
It's good to laugh at yourself sometimes. Nothing wrong with being a little white trash or red neck.
