I will never understand the hillbilly fascination with making loud noises but there's a lot I don't get about the hillbilly philosophy.
That reminds me that if you are about to do something stupid with fireworks you owe a duty to warn those around you of the potential danger. Please remember to use the Redneck Warning Phrase, "Hey Y'all watch this".
The other night my new son in law took us outside for sparklers and a couple of really cool fireworks. It was a lot of fun especially when my 4 yr old grandson got excited. It was all for him.
Coming from Wisconsin, I always thought that a "Shot and a Beer Bar" was one in which the Regulars ordered a Shot of their favorite Booze with a glass of draft Beer as a Chaser. In the Region. I learned that a "Shot and a Beer Bar" was one in which one of the Customers was Shot before you finished your Second Beer.
I have a cousin who lives around Charlotte. It got me to thinking that IU fans in NC should find a way to get together in different regions of the state.
You were never in the Region. Stop with this stoopid type casting based on things you believe, that have no foundation in fact.
Nothing was like the 4th of July parties in the 70's with a bunch of kids running around the backyard with sparklers. What were our parents thinking?
Wow. Didn’t realize we were so close. I live in Georgia in the midst of all these “hillbillies and rednecks”. The vast majority are pretty good people. And believe it or not most don’t actually get off on blowing things up
I don't care if you are black, white, yellow, purple, hillbilly, redneck, gay, straight or full blown derp....
And they probably put the bill on the Visa card, and make minimum payments.
If McNutt handled it the true redneck way he would take his AR15 to the neighbor’s house & “ask” them to quit waking him up
This is exactly what is wrong with the Country today. Everyone is offended by anything and nobody can poke a little fun at themselves or background. Yes, what I wrote is a Stereotype and it pokes fun at something.
You do have to be careful. I know a young man in Northern Indiana who lost a couple of fingers a few years ago when he was lighting fireworks. He was a working guy too. He worked with his hands and am not sure how well he is doing.
Went to Cameron for the challenge in 2015 and was blown away by the IU support there
I was surprised at how many IU fans were at Penn State last year. I'm a lot more talkative than my wife so I was the one who talked to other fans and was surprised that many of them were not Indiana transplants like we were. They were just fans of the team. My cousin would be a big hit at your gatherings. You should rethink your policy. He is a retired airline pilot who had to retire due to injury. His father was an IU grad at the Geology school. I went to a game with him once right after we found out Calvin Samscum cheated. It was against Wisconsin when that center of theirs hit a last second 3. One cool thing was the seats we had. They were from my uncle's teacher who retired in Florida and gave his favorite student his seats. Another cool thing was parking right up near the door. I didn't have to walk a bunch like those other saps. lol
The other stupid thing related to that issue is that daylight savings time keeps it artificially bright outside until 10-10:30 p.m. Fireworks can't really start before then. So, your inconsiderate redneck neighbors are permitted to destroy even more of your sleep.
All I would have to do is add weed in the story and you would have given me 1,000 likes. "My uncle and I spent the rest of the night smoking weed to hide from the pain of the Indiana loss". lol
You live in an awesome area. I would love to live there as well. Perfect balance between weather extremes, and enough variety of college allegiance options to make things interesting. Lots going on there. I used to fly into Winston-Salem on the company plane for day-meetings then back out the same day when I worked for Cook. Always had a good time and ate some good Carolina BBQ.
