You might be a redneck if...

[wildhorses]

you stab yourself because your favorite driver did not win the Daytona 500.


No shit....really happened...can NOT post anymore because the man presented at my Emergency Room!!!

[Evergreen Emerald]

1. Dang!

He needs to get a life!

[wildhorses]

2. I wish I could give details

it is laughable in that bizarre kinda surreal way...


and yes he definitely needs to get a life because he almost lost this one (such as it is)

[Evergreen Emerald]

3. I know what you mean.

I prosecute sex offenses. You would not believe the stuff I hear.

[wildhorses]

6. I bet you and I could swap stories...

:toast:

[MindPilot]

24. Can you please tell us just one thing?

Did he have a mullet?

[SeattleGirl]

4. Might or might not be a Redneck, but definitely a mental case!

Holy cow! I'm a NASCAR fan, but no way am I going to stab myself because my favorite driver doesn't win a race!

Well, as much of a doofus as this guy is, I hope he's going to be okay. (And perhaps he shouldn't watch any more races until the meds take effect!)

[wildhorses]

7. I bet he said "hey guys, watch this...."

I know I shouldn't laugh but, sometimes it is the only way I can DEAL with some of the stuff

[MindPilot]

25. Right after he said "hold my beer..." eom

[Blue Belle]

5. Jesus Tap-dancing Christ.

The good news is, at least they're trying to weed themselves out of the gene-pool.

[wildhorses]

8. that is true

:rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. Nascar fans? Or idiots? Because I am a Nascar fan and I would hate

to think that a fellow Dem would want me dead. :(

[wildhorses]

10. you lost me there...

I would never wish that...especially you MrsGrumpy...


sorry, I am tired from a 12 hour shift and, your comment has gone *whoosh* right over my head...

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. It was directed at BB. The "at least they're trying to weed themselves

out of the gene pool" comment. I was wondering if the OP was directing that at Nascar fans or idiots in general. :hi:

12 hour shifts suck. They've got MrG doing that 6 straight 12 hours...and then 8 on Sunday. It'll kill you. Get some rest.

[wildhorses]

12. oh...DUH

I see what you mean now...but, I guess BB thinks that suicide is a freedom of choice...not murder...
there is point to be made in there somewhere but, I am too tired to extrpolate it.
How on earth does MrG do it? I work 4 straight and by the end of that my brain is like mashed potatoes:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. He's basically a robot. I get him up, send him off with his lunch,

feed him when he gets home, put his clothes and a towel in the bathroom so he can have a shower and then tuck him in. I feel so badly when he has to work like that. :(

[wildhorses]

15. it is good that he has you to keep him going...

that is an excellent example of partners. He is lucky to have the work though...so many people where I live are unemployed.

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. We're in SE MI..home of the dying automotive industry. Many shops,

like the one he works for, are closing their doors after decades. They are open one day, and everyone is sent home the next. The owners know they can abuse him like this...because there are 150 people glad to take over his job. This shop has given out no raises in the last 2 years. We take the overtime and bank it for the day we know is coming. Luckily, I am self employed as a real estate appraiser...and there is tons of work what with the foreclosure rates so high here. Sorry to be a downer but SE MI/Detroit is dead. :(

[wildhorses]

18. yes, the same is happening in my area too...so SAD and

scary...I am afraid that one day the havenots will RISE up against the haves...and I remember the advice you gave me when I posted my real estate thread the other day. I am afraid to sell my land though. One day I may have to live off it...do you ever think this way? Maybe I am just nuts...

[billyskank]

14. Holy mother of god

MrG has GOT to get a different job. That kind of overwork is BAD for you!! :o

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. He won't have one soon. He works in automotive/aerospace prototyping.

Many shops like his have already closed down here. He's lucky...for now. I'm getting him into real estate appraising so, when the time comes, we can go off on our own. I hate it that he has to work so hard. :(

[billyskank]

19. That sucks so much!!

These free market fundamentalists are making a world that no sane person would want to live in! :cry:

[Blue Belle]

20. Actually... I was talking about idiot NASCAR Fans...

not NASCAR fans in General. Don't read anything personal into it. I wouldn't presume Mrs. Grumpy to be an idiot... and you have to admit that Mr. "Stabbed himself because his favorite driver lost" is not of the same mindset of any normal NASCAR fan. If it is... and knowing that NASCAR fans make up a huge portion of the GOP base... I don't want to hear anymore bitching about wanting to overturn Oregon's "Death with Dignity" law from the right wing zealots. I also don't want to hear them wondering aloud how anyone could possibly be a suicide bomber.

[BoneDaddy]

21. Would you call that....

Hari CARi?

[Radio_Guy]

22. Hmmmm

Didn't some University of Alabama fan once shoot his son because they lost to Auburn? Seems I remember something like that.

[MindPilot]

23. I'm not sure of the protocol; my favorite driver DID win Daytona.

Do I stab someone else? Shoot myself? Shoot a lawyer in the face? Get really drunk and juggle chainsaws? Does it HAVE to involve a visit to the ER?
