What makes a good Redneck, do you have a lot of broken cars on the front dirt, has your house needed paiting since Sherman made his march to the Sea.
What is wrong having used car parts in the bedroom, and your 15 foot Christmas needs swept off the floor.
Wearing the same clothes day after day makes then fit better, and when you sleep in them it is cosy, so what if your wife use to be your cousin, she isn"t now, and all the children look alike.
Oh well, do we fit the pattern

A good Redneck is a Ford F-150 with mud tires , A Tool Box in the back , a Pit-Bull that rides on the Tool Box with NO ROPE , Chew spit draping down the drivers side door and a shotgun rack in the rear window with a '22 hanging in it...Oh , on the rear window is a cheap sticker that says "Bad-Boy"

Dont forget cleaning big game in your front yard while hanging from a tree or the A frame you use to pull engines from the vehicles around your yard.

Karate.....

In 1976 i was running service calls for Sears in St. Pete and had a call out to a house in Pinellas Park. Well i knew it was not going to be a good day when along side this rundown house was a 70 foot tower with stacked 5 el beams. The lady met me at the door and said the TV is over their and after i walked past a large liner in a rack there the set was....... FRIED. Well the 528.4196 seris of sears set had a power supply boards and PC runns over to the flyback and HV cage ..... they were gon MELTED BURNED OFF. In the power supply board fuse holder was a thick peace of copper wire discolored and i had little doubt as to the failure mode of this set. Sorry i told her this set is not repairable who ever shorted that fuse runned it...... I asked who's idea was it was and she told me " Well a local cb repairman on the cb set told my boyfriend he could fix it him self just short the fues and it will burn where the short is"! .....Burn it did.......

I have a neibor who has a huge yard it must be at least 40 yards long and 30 yards wide, no grass just weeds up to you knees, he has a two story house that is at least 60 years old and there is hardly any paint on it, he has at least 14 cars dead ones all over the yard and three cars on each side of his house STUCK between the house and the fence just stuffed in there,
They are a very sloppy people , and drive across their property, their 18 foot christmas tree is still up in the window, and the last time I talked to him he was going to dig a large mud duck pond in the front yard for the Ducks and Geese that fly over us, REDNECK , REDNECK.

Or maybe if your mother-in-law has a spittoon on the end of her ironing board. Or if your wifes hairdo has ever been destroyed by a ceiling fan. Or (my parents did this) if you have a 27" color console tv that does not work and watch a 13" black and white tv sitting on top of it.

307,
You forgot to mention that the truck doesn't have a tailgate. The front windshield is broken where the signpost hit it after he dropped his beer and leaned over to pick it up. The bullet hole in the passenger side door is from the inside where his gun went off before he could get it stuck out the window to shoot the doe out of season. The dog is riding on the toolbox because the bed is full of old tires & empty beer cans...
I could go on & on but this is getting pretty close to home LOL!!!

Man....Talk about a reality check:) Honestly....If you guys had said that truck was a dodge, Id be loading the gun up and going to get my truck back. Ive had Deer hanging in my front yard, pulled motors in my front yard....Even cooked a "pig in the ground" in my front yard....Not sure if I fit the bill or not??? My wife is a diehard city girl so we go together like budweiser and pork rinds!

I have to admit some of my ways are Redneck, My wife is a Upper class American Indian, and I am country.
I can Mickey Mouse almost anything, and will pick anything off the ground and save it to make something.
Boy CA 346 is really quiet.

KARATE:

Sorry, no RedNeck in me. I grew up in a rented house out in the country, and wanted to own a house as soon as I could when I got married (20 yrs old, she was 19). Waited 6 years to buy my first house. $13,300 and it was a 40 year loan... Still remember the payment=$133/month. Two bedroom, one bath 40 year old house in a VERY nice OLD neighborhood. If anybody left a car on the lawn in those days, you would have had the neighbors over wanting to help.... That house is probably selling for $175,000 now...

A redneck is someone that brags about how good his pickup is but the truck always seems to be up on jackstands.
A redneck is someone that hates land developers and the suburban sprawl approaching his property/home but would be 1st one to sell his land to developers if given an offer.
A redneck loves Nascar racing but hates the Politically Correct nonsense that is getting to epidemic levels.
A redneck is someone that will always help a friend out and bail them out of jail from time to time.

WAIT! WAIT!

My next door neighbor has 4 dogs, two chickens, one horse, mows her lawn with a push mower (and the horse) and doesn't complain about my 50 foot antenna tower.... Does that qualify me??

I gotta disagree there Spark....If he were a real friend he would be in jail with you:) I got a picture around here somewhere of me and a buddy on a turkey hunt...We were driving down the highway and saw a toilet that someone had lost out of there pickup...Well to make a long story short we both took turns getting pictures of each other doing good ol #2 right there on the side of the road in the toilet...This was a few years ago. Do that now and you will be begging Bruce to "throw me the keys" I guess I am a true redneck because I have more wildlife in my house than I do outside. Its all dead but it looks good on my wall

Buck, you played DUMP TRUCK on a public Highway; you have mounted heads on all your walls,
Buck remember women are meant to be MOUNTED , but Buck not on the walls. Quiet looking at your wife in that strange Redneck way, placing her between the mounted Squirrel, and the Rabbit.
