I can feel my arteries clogging just looking at the picture. Darn it now my mouth is watering . Guess I'm gonna have to hit the cafeteria here in a second just to stop the stomach from growling.

dwallace.......WE ALL KNEW THAT ALREADY.......took you a while to catch on, buddy. If you cast your own lead AND your hound has a bed on the settin' porch you are more redneck than most of us. Get a NASCAR hat and you are in.

Well I've been casting my own bullets and sinkers for 20+ years and my dog has a bed on the front and back veranda so she can change her view as she wants ,

I pour chilli con carne on my bacon and eggs , I put Tabasco on every thing except ice-cream and cereal ,

All my vehicles have either been traybacks or 4x4's

I've got reloading gear for about 20 calibres ,

I have to go to the gun safe and count them if some one asks how many guns I have , except for the new lines of short magnums it's been a long time since some one asked me about a rifle or pistol calibre I haven't owned ,

I got a small fridge on the veranda and one in the shed so I don't have to go far for a cool adult beverage ,

I have a bigger kitchen out side than I do inside , once my shed extension is finished it will be almost as big as the inside of the house ,

Last time a mate from Brisbane come up he looked around and said " Bloody hell it's redneck heaven " , I've been called a redneck for about 30 years but figured as the only teeth I have missing were three chewing teeth at the back and I don't chew tobacco I didn't totally qualify , but I've been convinced

Fellas,

I jest showed islandpiper's pichur ta Miz Bear 'n read oldyaker's recipe. She sez her grandma ate most of her food cooked in lard 'n fer the last ten years of her life she ate two Twinkies fer supper. She wuz born in 1899 'n died in 1992. One of my grandmas ate spaghetti, ice cream, candy 'n drank wine in the evenin'. She wuz born before the century turned 'n died in the 90's too. I recall her 90th birthday when she wanted a band like W.C. Handy ta play. Best they did wuz hire Son Thomas. http://wapurl.co.uk/?NDFOLK8

I went ta a New Year Eve party in Shinola (halfway tween Shaw 'n Indianola) where Son wuz gwine ta play. He didnt show. Someone called, but he wuz in the local hospital with a bullet in hiz buttock (like Forrest). It wuz a .38 bullet. Hiz wife got mad when she heard bout him messin' with anuther woman 'n shot him. I reckon he made a new song bout bein' shot in the ass fer love. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: The life of the bluesmen aint ever been eazy.

I gave you a brand new Ford
But you said: I want a Cadillac
I bought you a ten dollar dinner
and you said: thanks for the snack
I let you live in my pent house
You said it just a shack
I gave seven children
And now you wanna give them back
