Sorry, but I have to reply. I don't know why we're having a "Who's more redneck" contest, but some of these things have nothing to do with redneck and I doubt that many of you have ever seen a true redneck. RUGER seems to know what he's talkin about, maybe because he's a fellow Alabamian, but he's right when he says most people around here don't consider people like him country. You boys on here ain't seen bonified true "Redneck". Are some of you saying that if you don't benchpress a sh*tload of weight you aint redneck? That's hilarious, because being physically big aint got a thing to do with it. Also, being a Redneck and being "Southern" are two totally different things. I'm extremely "Southern", hence the name, and I'm a redneck in some ways also, but I don't wanna get into that cause I aint tryin to prove how red my neck is. Lemme just clarify a few "thangs". Driving a tractor doesn't make you a redneck, it just means you have larger areas and fields to tend to and it would be more efficient to use a larger machine. Dipping skoal or whatever your brand of choice only makes you redneck if you don't own a toothbrush, you sleep with a hawgleg in your mouth, you're missing most teeth, the teeth you have left are stained dark yellow, and you spit in natural light cans. .....I'm guilty of the last. Just b/c you have a bunch of guns dont make you a redneck, those crazy kids that shoot up schools usually own an arsenal of weapons and they are far from a redneck. Wearing camo doesnt make you any more of a redneck than if you just wear a white tshirt and jeans.....I know many old men who have killed more deer than any of us while wearing overalls and beat up tennis shoes. I grew up ten minutes from the Talladega Superspeedway and have been to every single race since I was 11. I just recently stopped going because its too predictable. Anyways, I have seen REDNECK. Have you ever seen a drunk pregnant woman with a cig hangin out her mouth run bare-footed across a highway in front of traffic just to pull her shirt up for some Dale Earnhardt SR. beads??? Didnt think so. You ever sat next to a couple during a race and watched them smoke 2 packs of cigarettes and drink a gallon of vodka and orange juice during the first half of the race, then commenced to yelling at each other about who was better Jeff Gordon or Dale Jr., then see the woman be carried out on a stretcher after passing out, and the husband stayed for the race and cut his jeans off into shorts.....one leg being way shorter than the other....? Thats redneck. I saw an old man with a huge homemade (looked like it was done in jail) Dale Sr. tattoo on his arm attack a guy in a Jeff Gordon painted wheelchair for saying Dale Sr. was a dead a*s and he's glad he hit the wall. I could go on for days, but it would probably shock most of yall here. Come down here for the fall race at Talladega and walk around the campgrounds, you'll see a redneck or two.....especially if it rains, it's like nothing you'll ever see in your life. Don't get me wrong, there may be a few true necks on this forum, but from what I've read, yall aint got a clue.
