58. I come from a family of hillbillies so I've done a lot of redneck things
Edited on Fri Mar-27-09 12:50 PM by cherish44
been to tractor pulls, demolition derbies, monster truck rallies, rodeos,....watched a contest where the first contestants to catch a muddy slippery pig and put it in a crate got to keep the pig, played "chicken shit" bingo, been to a NASCAR race, shot up a pumpkin with a little .22 for shits and giggles, watched people blow stuff up for shits an giggles dozens of times, helped my dad "tow" a car by looping rope through the open front seat windows and tying it to the back of another car, had an upholtered couch on my front porch that my cats and hound dogs would relax on (OK not hound dogs really but it was pretty hillbilly). Went to a beer party where I had drive through a bunch of cows to get there. (it was in some woods at the edge of a cow pasture), I have driven a tractor, a combine, a pickup truck, a four wheeler, been to many, many amateur fireworks displays....

Just so you know my grandpa lived through the depression and used to get paid in pigs for work he did. He thought FDR was the greatest president we ever had and he said he "never voted for a goddamn Republican" in his life. Dad was a union electrician...ditto there! So we're not all fundie, GOP nutjobs. (well the nutjob thing is up for debate!)
