Generally, when talking to people, they think of rednecks as being male. I can understand that thought process - to a point. Redneck girls (women) are a lot more interesting then men but, we still do a lot of the same things. We really do use duct tape and WD40 to fix things. If it moves and it shouldn't, duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should WD40 it. We've actually been pig ridin', taken city folk on
snipe hunts and
cow tippin', and we can do it all without breaking a nail or mussin' our hair. ;)
Some of the things people consider to be "redneck" I consider to be normal though. Such as:
"Your huntin dawg had a litter of puppies in the living room and nobody noticed." - The hunting dogs (3) sleep in the kitchen when my brother visits. We've had horses, cows, and pigs sleep in the house and even on the hide-a-bed. Dogs and cats often gave birth in the kitchen. I've stitched up wild rabbits on my kitchen counter, gutted and descaled fish in the sink, kept a turtle alive in bath tub until it was time to fry him. Rocky Mountain Oysters (we call them Bull Frys) are best when deep fat fried. And that is only scratching the surface ;)
"You think the last words to The Star Spangled Banner are "Gentlemen, start your engines." - I'm not THAT blonde but I love a good tractor pull or demolishion derby. The OT raceway in the fall could easily become my second home during racing season. I know most of the drives and mechanics - we shared the same classes in college - engine rebuilding, transmissions, etc. I also know the tow truck driver who gets to pull the cars apart and off the track - he's a good friend of the family and can usually be found where ever my dad is - tow truck drivers stick together.
"Your father executes the "pull my finger"
trick during Christmas dinner." - My dad doesn't do this one much any more. Only because us kids have gotten older but he still tries to get the grandkids. :)
"You've got more than one brother named 'Darryl'." - Does more than one brother named Brian and Mike count? My brothers names: Brian, Brian, Mike, Mike, Jordon and Darren. Sisters: Shanna and Brittney. Plus, you never want to yell David at one of my family get togethers.
"You use a weedeater in your living room." - Well, it wasn't a weedeater, it was a chainsaw. And a router, and a skill saw, and......
"You have a rag for a gas cap." - Been there, done that....
Last but not least: "You've been to a funeral and there were more pick-ups than cars." - More then one and one where there were more Harleys.
I could go on and on and on. Being a redneck isn't a bad thing - it is actually sort of fun. And here I bet ya thought I was 'normal' ;)
