DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Everything Else... July 3rd - National Redneck Day

Only comes around once a year.



Shopping for Rednecks is tough.

So, what do you get the redneck who already has everything?

Oh I know... An AK-47 and display rack for the living room.



Very smart.

I wouldn’t mind this myself.

Wishing you and yours a joyous Redneck Day!

Joe Thomas Day = National Redneck Day?

Coincidence?

I think not.

we always called today fireworks day

j/c:

I've been triggered.

Today is also "Find out how many pieces YTown's back is in" day ..... otherwise known as the day I get to go over my MRI results. The report that came with the disc was truly horrific. I'd rather celebrate Joe Thomas Day.

With those back problems, it sounds like you already are. Feel better, YTown.

What do you buy the redneck who has everything?

Ammunition! You can NEVER have too much ammunition!

Even a Redneck knows it is only proper to ask a man before posting his family picture!

Gonna be a lot of Red-Necks around here starting today as they open the gates for campers at the annual Country Concert.

Man, that concert is a great time!

I'd say worthy of its own thread even!




WOW!!! What a line-up.

Hey Pastor.

I was gonna say your wife must consider herself very lucky. I guess it goes for both of you.

You could be good for another 25.

As soon as it gets dark, I'll call it "the day I wish I had gotten some valium for my dog day". Poor dog just sits next to me shaking, slobbering, and hyperventilating once the neighborhood hillbillies start blowing off cherry bombs, M100s, etc. She especially hates the whistler bottle rockets.

I almost called the cops Sunday night cuz some ass-hat lit off fireworks in a residential neighbourhood -Canada Day - and scared the hell out of my parakeet. Next year, I'll be letting the cops know beforehand. If you want to have fireworks go into the bleeping woods.

I enjoyed it, on Sunday morning, about 4 am, when someone set off a bunch of firecrackers.

The same thing happened about 8 years ago, when I wasn't quite as forgiving, and someone set off firecrackers at 3 or 4 AM, when I had to be up for work at 6am. I got up and yelled out my window "Hey you *&^#$$&() .... some of have to work for a living, and get up early, and if I hear another of those damn things go off I am going to come find you, shove the rest of what you have left up your butt, light them and say Hurrah!

I didn't hear another one that night.

I understand liking fireworks displays in the night sky, but what I don't get is this need to blow off small bombs and other loud firecrackers, especially after the hour of the city's noise ordinance at 10PM. As much as I don't want to be "that guy" who calls the cops, I have done it. But the knuckleheads who blow off the noisemakers always manage to disappear by the time the police cruiser comes down the street, and then re-commence their activity once they know the cops are gone.

That's why I think that next year I'll ask the cops to warn them beforehand. I know the house that does it, they do it every year and while I like fireworks as much as most people, it bothers my bird and thusly, pisses me off.

My buddy lives down the street and his female German Shepard is terrified whenever she hears fireworks.

I love fireworks.

Y'all are cranky old men.

I like fireworks also. We don't do them anymore though.

Perhaps 8-10 years ago, I don't remember, we had some friends over. Lit off some rockets - loud. 3 of them.

We were done, sitting on the back porch, chilling. Garage doors open, daughter and her friend in the garage. Her friend walked out on the back porch - 45 minutes after the last fire work was ignited, mind you.

"Arch, the cops are here."

So, I get up, walk into the garage, and there's a deputy sheriff. "Are you the owner of the house?" Yes.

"We had a report of a possible shooting at your house. Is everything ok?" Uh, yeah. "Fireworks?" Uh, yeah. "Okay, I need you to not do that anymore." Okay. We shot off 3. 45 minutes ago.


He kind of laughed and said "When I get dispatched, I have to go."

No, my 3 year old Corgi mix is a frightened old lady. Tomorrow night, when its near midnight or after and they are still blowing up tin cans with cherry bombs, I'll be a cranky old man because I have to get up at 5AM Thursday morning for work. And they will hear from me. Its why my neighbors across the street like me so much. We have the same 'discussion' every freaking July.

I should add this: we didn't quit doing them because of the cops.

I live in the country - behind my house is approximately 150-200 acres of field before you get to the woods where I sometimes hunt.

The year after the cop incident, those acres were wheat. Anyone that has a clue about wheat knows that this time of year, those fields are dry, as is the crop.

No way on earth was I going to put my insurance company on the hook for us starting a field fire. And actually, I'm pretty sure my insurance company, HAD something happened, would've said "Sorry bud, you're on your own here."

Not worth it. Not even close.

Cranky pet owner when some selfish person decides the whole neighbourhood needs to see 10 minutes of fireworks.

I pretty much agree w/your take. We've had two dogs that were afraid of the loud fireworks. My daughter's Great Dane who stayed w/us for a almost a year because of housing considerations, wouldn't even go outside to go to the bathroom when the "bombs" were going off.

I think regular fireworks are okay, even though I would never be interested in shooting them off, but where is the joy in hearing one solitary huge BOOM? LOL........BOOM! Wow dude, that's really cool!

I never have--nor will I ever--call the cops on those people, because I am not wired that way. But hey 'necks.........a loud concussed BOOM really ain't all that cool.

10 minutes?

LOL

You men would never make it in the South.

We have huge fireworks warehouses where you can bulk buy large quantities of every kind of firework for cheap.

And then people set them off all day and all night.

My dogs just hide under the bed and are done.

The only time I dont like it is if they shoot the bottle rockets over my house and the sticks get on my roof.

That's odd that you say 'necks over one boom.

Would 10 booms make someone not a 'neck? Maybe 30?

Or is it just something the towns and cities are allowed to do?

Hi arch. I hope you have a wonderful 4th of July!

Eve, sweety try to follow me. Budgie birds literally can be scared to death, in a residential area people shouldn't be blowing them off anyways.
If my bird died because of some arseholishness I'd go ballistic.

Oh and I have to problem missing out on Georgia.

Dont move to Georgia then, stay up in canuck land hehe.

For someone, somewhere in America, today will be the last day they have 10 fingers.

Yep.

Approximately 45 seconds after someone says:

"Here- hold my beer. HEY, Y'INZ... WATCH THIS!!!"

Fireworks are fine.

Miniature bombs going off at 3 or 4 am, with enough force to shake the house ..... not.

Yep, it was a blast. I see now that you can rent a RV for the concert. RV company brings it in and sets it up and tears it down after the concert, all you have to do is party.

Just think YTown, Federal law now caps the flash powder content of firecrackers at 50mg per firework. In the '60s typical M-80s, silver salutes and cherry bombs "contained somewhere in the neighborhood of 3,000mg of powder apiece"...quite a difference.

I now live in Tennessee where fireworks are legal and most of you would be considered a #snowflake.

They should write some poetry about it, like Miles Garrett.
