You know you’re a redneck when…

I don't think redneck is the appropriate title...

 

Are you familiar with the origin of the term "redneck", at least the popular origin. ?

It comes from one of two reasons...

 

1: putting the reins of the mule around the back of your neck, while using both hands on the plow, thereby

causing the leather reins to chafe your neck, making it "red"

 

2: the back of your neck getting sunburned as you work stooped over, hoeing and loosening

soil in the fields.

 

In either case, the "redneck" is caused by good old fashioned hard work.!!!!!!

Sounds like you missed the boat about redneck jokes, allow me to enlighten you. The phrase Redneck now refers to someone who is not the intellectual type as you appear to be. It is someone who is just a plane old-fashioned individual with a carefree attitude and proud of it. This type of individual gives true meaning to the term “ignorance is bliss”.

 

Analyzing a particular subject or phrase is not what we do here, so please try and stay with the program, or you may become the first “Intellectual Redneck”, oh wait, you are, welcome to the club. :D

Dang, :D Howd you git you dog to find these things

 

Dogs catch on that you are looking for something, and that something has human sent on it, so after a while they can find them. My dogs don’t as of yet because I am still a newbe, but my neighbors dogs do, he has been at this a while.

You hide a cache in a magnetic key holder.. under the fender of a junk car... up on blocks... behind your doublewide.

Someone has the signature line that cracks me up.....I don't remember who it is wo instead of saying that this is an original joke that I came up with, I'll just say that it is off of someone's signature line.

 

You might be a redneck geocacher if your car gets stolen and you report it to the police as being muggled.

"I'm My Own Grandpa"

 

Many, many years ago, when I was twenty-three,

I was married to a widow who was pretty as can be

this widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red.

my father fell in love with her, and soon they too were wed.

 

This made my dad my son-in-law and really changed my life,

now my daughter was my mother, cause she was my father's wife.

to complicate the matter, even though it brought me joy,

I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy.

 

My little baby then became a brother-in-law to Dad,

and so became my uncle, though it made me very sad.

for if he was my uncle, then that also made him brother

of the widow's grown-up daughter, who, of course,

was my stepmother.

 

Father's wife then had a son who kept him on the run,

and he became my grandchild, for he was my daughter's son.

my wife is now my mother's mother, and it makes me blue,

because, although she is my wife, she's my grandmother, too.

 

Now if my wife is my grandmother, then I'm her grandchild,

and every time I think of it, it nearly drives me wild,

cause now I have become the strangest case you ever saw

as husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa!

 

In before lock!

 

Not sure if he wrote it, but Willie Nelson did a great recording of this many years ago.

You know you're a redneck when you turn in a short story on GCK29P for your fiction writing class... :anitongue:

You know you’re a Geocacher when…

 

You know what Geocaching means.

The first thing you do in the morning is check who visited your cache.

The second thing you do is check Groundspeek Forums.

Your computers history is nothing but geocaching.com.

You have a cache in your yard.

You would rather go Geocaching than sit on a beach in Hawaii.

The only time you’ll take the wife/husband anywhere is if it’s Geocaching.

You mortgaged your house for a 4X4 so you can do more extensive Geocaching.

You get excited just about finding a silly logbook.

You put off chores that need to be done to go Geocaching.

You met your wife/husband Geocaching.

Your dog has learned how to sniff out caches now.

You take your in-laws for a drive but only point out potential hiding places.

You volunteer to go to the store with your wife only because you want to find more cache containers.

Your first topic of conversation with anyone is Geocaching.

You whair Geocaching clothing… all the time.

If you are looking at this and respond to it.

 

Please fill free to add anything to this, lets see how big it gets you rednecks.

 

This was fun so I thought I would send it around again.

*Sigh*Ametuers!

 

You know you're a caching redneck when-

 

-Caching doubles as pre deer season scouting.

 

-You pack a fishing pole AND your geoswag bag.

 

-The GPSr in your 86 Chevy K20 4x4 is the most expensive and rust free thing on the truck including intial purchase price.

 

-You know right where local caches are by telling your geo buds,"Ahyup,it's up the ol' quarry road just past Juli's store" and everyone knows where you're describing,WITHOUT looking at a GPS and never doing them before.

 

-Your GPSr is camo'd up.

 

-Your "caching outfit" consists of a camo hat,flannel shirt with holes,Carhartts with grease stains held up by green suspenders and knee high camo rubber boots.

 

-You know potential cache spots in areas that even the USGS doesn't even have on the map yet.

 

-There's caches you put out that require people to "load up" during moose rut season,bear cubbing season,or cause it's a tasty-animal season.....you know,just in case.

 

-I don't have to explain "Load up" to you on the cache page.

 

-All of your caches require 4 wheel drive and no less than two vehicles with log chains and winches.

 

-Driving directions to the cache include "Turn off the paved road and kiss it good bye for about 3 days."

 

What now?Yeah that's right...your jealous B)

 

PS-Don't ask how I know any of this stuff....unless you want to see my Chevy,Carhartts,suspenders,or fishin' poles B)

Well, I'm not a redneck. I'm a surburbanite. But I was hiking with a friend up in hillbilly country iin New Jersey. (Yes. We have hillbillies.) Up on the Highlands Trail round near where the Jackson Whites think they're Ramapough Indians and want to build a casino. Well, my friend was not much of a hiker, and asked "Can we take a shortcut through this parking lot?" Pointing toward the thirty cars parked a short distance off the trail. "Look carefully. None of those cars have license plates, and many of them don't even have windshields."
