A couple of trail daze ago, I assisted Jester in dressing up as Van Goghs self portrait. As we walked down the streets of Damascus: all the so called cultured hikers or those from the civilized metropolitan areas, wearing the brand new $100 dollar newest patagucci's said "Whats that guy suppose to be???" On the flip side southern accented, beard sporting, beer drinking, pick up truck driving gents noticed "Hey cool, its Van Gogh". Quite unexpected and refreshing. I love my redneck boyz!

Went bass fishing the other day in a Fender Creek behind my tobacco barn.

Caught a nice 53 P-Bass with the tele headstock. Didn't throw that one back.

However, caught a bunch of CBS Fenders. Crap. Tossed those.

i always thought that hillbillies were move civilized than rednecks.

for instance if i think redneck i see: 500 double wide trailers with miscellaneous broken down chevy, ford and dodge trucks. i see a pinto painted a black with a huge number 3 on the side in honor of Dale. you hear conversations pertaining to "walmart" and "the discount cigarette shop" as well as someone still referring to people from pennsylvania as yankees. also has a sticker on his or her truck that proclaims "the south shall rise again"

a hillbilly? i think of someone that lives on the backside of lookout mtn, past the souvenir shops. someone that has all he or she needs. cuts only what firewood they need. still has a still and still makes proper 'shine. someone that knows the south lost and doesn't care cause its not relevant to his life.

just my thoughts.

Sorry, you don't have that quite right. Only the fords and dodges are broken down. The chevy just has the motor removed for a little souping up or the rear end taken to the shop to gear it down a bit. No self respecting redneck would ever admit his chevy broke down. :D

As more and more northerners move into Charlotte, NC and the surrounding region, I am witnessing the demise of some aspects of Southern culture. For instance, Southern hospitality, the art of "just visiting", the Bubba mentality, Stopping for a funeral procession, treating women in a gentlemanly fashion are all going by the wayside as this area assimilates the hoardes of northerners that are migrating south..
Southern grace and hospitality go hand in hand with just visiting.. Nowadays in Charlotte, everything is business, and time is money.. The Bubbas of the world are a dying breed, you know, the kind of person that will move your stuff with his pickup for free, These types are being replaced by a more business like, if not slightly ruder kind of being, one who does not necessarily drink sweet tea....
Not that northerners are all bad, for that matter I married a girl from Indiana. Her ancestors wore the blue uniforms, but I love her anyway....

Please don't be so presumptuous to believe Southerners have a lock on hospitality, stop for funerals, and treat women like women. That's ridiculous. I think you've watched Gone with the Wind too many times.

What's ironic though is, the South's born again unionism or patriotism. Many have their heads up the Feds azz calling for constitutional amendments when they're states rights issues.

The preacher man says it's the end of time

And the Mississippi River she's a goin' dry

The interest is up and the Stock Markets down

And you only get mugged

If you go downtown



I live back in the woods, you see

A woman and the kids, and the dogs and me

I got a shotgun rifle and a 4-wheel drive

And a country boy can survive

Country folks can survive



I can plow a field all day long

I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn

We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too

Ain't too many things these ole boys can't do

We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine

And a country boy can survive

Country folks can survive



Because you can't stomp us out

And you cant make us run

Cause one-of- ‘em old boys raisin ole shotgun

And we say grace and we say Ma'am

And if you ain't into that we don't give a damn



We came from the West Virginia coalmines

And the Rocky Mountains and the and the western skies

And we can skin a buck; we can run a trot line

And a country boy can survive

Country folks can survive



I had a good friend in New York City

He never called me by my name, just hillbilly

My grandpa taught me how to live off the land

And his taught him to be a businessman

He used to send me pictures of the Broadway nights

And I'd send him some homemade wine



But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife

For 43 dollars my friend lost his life

Id love to spit some beechnut in that dudes eyes

And shoot him with my old 45

Cause a country boy can survive

Country folks can survive



Cause you can't stomp us out and you can't make us run

Cause one-of- ‘em old boys raisin ole shotgun

And we say grace and we say Ma'am

And if you ain't into that we don't give a damn



We're from North California and south Alabam

And little towns all around this land

And we can skin a buck; we can run a trot line

Just remember not all Rednecks fought on the side of the Confederacy either. And even those that did were not always that adamant about it. COL Thomas started his legion as a way to try and get land back for the Cherokee figuring he could get them favorable treatment by the Confederacy if they helped defend North Carolina and Tennessee areas. And toward the end of the war he was arrest for courts martial by the Confederacy for harboring deserters in his unit so East Tennessee and Western NC hillbillies could stay home. That whole area was a hot bed of Unionists and caused the Confederacy lots of hell. Of course now most of the descendants in that area don't know that their ancestors were more likely to have worn a blue uniform than a gray one (or maybe both depending on the time in the war).

Reminds me of a story.

There I was...

1991 and I was an Army recruiter in Beaver Dam Wisconsin (please don't hold any of that against me, I was taken against my will). Anyhow, I was in one of my towns - Columbus, WI with a population of about 3,800. The town is a nice, small town and has a nice sized memorial for veterans of Columbus that fought in the Civil war. Not that I have anything against that, I am glad they have enough pride and respect for their ancestors to build and maintain that.

So anyways, I am at the high school, and this Bubba is getting into his pickup truck there near me in the school parking lot - about a 17 year old kid. In the back window is a Confederate flag and a gun rack. I figure this may be another southerner that has moved to the north just as I have - and I ought to be neighborly and introduce myself.

So I says "Hey man, nice truck. I noticed your flag, you from the south?"

He says, somewhat unfriendly "No, I was born and raised here."

Well I get sort of puzzled "Well then why have you got that Confederate flag in your window there?"

He says "Cause I am a rebel?"

I said "Well son, you may have noticed that big ol' monument in the middle of town for your ancestors that got killed fighting that war, don't that seem sort of particular that you would be displaying that flag?"

Then he said "It ain't about that. It is a statement. You wouldn't understand."

So even up north some of the Bubba's even display their southern pride.

Pokey2006
10-23-2006, 02:25
Let me guess, no luck convincing that kid to sign up for the Army???

Around here, we have Bubbas -- in fact, there's a town where every other guy is nicknamed "bubba," no lie -- but we do NOT have Confederate flags. Not in New England, nosiree!

Dudes, up here in Massachusetts, there was no civil war. We found against those nice boys down south??? No way!

Naw, up here we're still bragging about how we beat up the Brits. That was enough victory for us. We just plum forgot about beating the south!

I'm only half kidding here. Seriously, the civil war is so not even on our register up here in New England. Like it never happened.

It's interesting how the banter over "the War" continues to this day (usually good-naturedly, at least what I've seen) but ironically the biggest promoters of post-war national unity were actually the ones who did the shooting- the Civil War veterans themselves.

After the war, until the last one died in 1959, many veterans from both sides were the best of friends and would only refer to the war as "that Late Unpleasantness". What a class act...as a native southerner, I wish we all could be so cordial to each other today.

Well that is somewhat true RockyTrail. In the Appalachian mountains there was a different sort of war. Many of the people in these areas continued the fighting with each other on low simmer for years after the war ended. Just look at guys like Keith Blaylock (sp?)

you can find a YJ pretty cheap. check the quarter panels for rust, floorboards will most likely need to be replaces but no big deal. motor - 6 cyl is great but a worn out 4 banger can be swapped really easy. you can spend a couple grand more and get a TJ (97 and up) and get an in line 6 that which is bullet proof, might get a dana 44 too. there are tons for sale all the time in va and md. ever need advise or help let me know.

oh and here is some of my stuff...
1) 05 PA Jeeps show, the 98 XJ...
2) the 06 TJ X, dana 35 (blah) but 6 cyl and 6 spd...
3) the 02 TJ (steve rated) 38s with too much stuff....

FOR NORTHERNERS MOVING SOUTH . . .

In the South: If you run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in a four-wheel drive pickup truck with a tow chain will be along shortly. Don't try to help them, just stay out of their way. This is what they live for.

Don't be surprised to find movie rentals and bait in the same store. Do NOT buy food at this store.

Remember, "y'all" is singular, "all y'all" is plural, and "all y'all's" is plural possessive.

Get used to hearing "You ain't from round here, are ya?"

Save all manner of bacon grease. You will be instructed later on how to use it.

Don't be worried at not understanding what people are saying. They can't understand you either. The first Southern statement to creep into a transplanted Northerner's vocabulary is the adjective "big'ol," truck or big'ol" boy. Most Northerners begin their Southern-influenced dialect this way. All of them are in denial about it.

The proper pronunciation you learned in school is no longer proper.

Be advised that "He needed killin" is a valid defense here.

If you hear a Southerner exclaim, "Hey, y'all, watch this!" You should stay out of the way. These are likely to be the last words he'll ever say.

If there is the prediction of the slightest chance of even the smallest accumulation of snow, your presence is required at the local grocery store. It doesn't matter whether you need anything or not. You just have to go there.

Do not be surprised to find that 10-year olds own their own shotguns, they are proficient marksmen, and their mama's taught them how to aim.

In the South, we have found that the best way to grow a lush green lawn is to pour gravel on it and call it a driveway.

AND REMEMBER: If you do settle in the South and bear children, don't think we will accept them as Southerners. After all, if the cat had kittens in the oven, we wouldn't call 'em biscuits.

Send this to four people that ain't related to you, and I reckon your life will turn into a country music song 'fore you know it.

Your kin would get a kick out of it too

Man, I haven't laughed this hard in sooooo long, between Neo and Jack....

But, oh, you southerners don't have a lock on the "family reunion" thing. There's a town in NH where everyone is related to everyone else -- there's only three last names in the whole town. You're either an Eaton, a Brown or an, um, Eaton. Big jokes about your aunt also being your sister, and your wife also being your sister, and, well, it gets pretty confusing.

A few years ago, I talked to one woman whose ancestors had been accidentally dug up from the cemetery during a highway project. These ancestors had only died a couple of generations ago. She suggested I talk to her husband, who was also related to these dead ancestors. She saw nothing at all wrong with that.

Heard a lot of these Eatons and Browns are related to some folks who settled down there in Tennessee...

Worked hard all week; got a little jingle on a tennessee saturday night.
Couldnt feel better: Im together with my dixieland Massachusetts delight.

Chorus:
Spend my dollar; parked in a holler neath the mountain moonlight; hold her
Uptight; make a little lovin, a little turtle dovin on a mason dixon night.
Fits my life, oh, so right: my dixieland Massachusetts delight.

Whitetail buck deer munchin on clover, redtail hawk settin on a limb, a
Chubby old groundhog, croakin bullfrog, free as the feelin in the wind.
Home grown Massachusetts country girl gonna give me a whirl on a tennessee saturday night.
Lucky as a seven livin in heaven with my dixieland Massachusetts delight.

Southerners aren't the only ones that say "You ain't from around here, are you?". I moved from NC to PA for approximately 7 months. I worked at an employment agency and talked to people on the phone all day. At least 12 times a day I got "you're not from here, are you?" I'd smile to myself and answer "No, I'm a transplant from North Carolina."

I found that the men in PA loved my accent and the women treated me like I was stupid and talked to me realll slow while looking down their noses. Well I'm smarter than the average bear and finally decided to come home where I don't have to answer that question and strangers at the store say "you're Allen's daughter, ain't ya? Is he still farmin'?"

I did bring one bad habit back from PA. I catch myself asking...
"You goin' to the store then?"

I'm curious. Where in Pa. did you / yooz / yuns / yinz live? In the coal region, it would be "Yooz goin' to da store den?" In Western Pa., it'd be "Yuns* goin' to the store then?" On the south side of Pittsburgh, it'd be "Yinz goin' to the store then?"

* "yuns" does not rhyme with buns. It's kind of a long "u", that rhymes with no other word I can think of.

P.S. Sorry some of my fellow Pennsylvanians weren't real friendly. People in Pa. Dutch Country and the Phila. area aren't immediatley open to auslanders. Coal Region and Western Pa. folks are much more like southerners.

I also still drive like I'm in PA. If you are from PA you know what I'm talking about. In NC you move out of the right lane to let cars merge, in PA you speed up and see if they have the balls to merge before the merge lane turns into an exit! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I've always considered York an ever-so-slightly southern town. Pretty close to the M-D line. Edit: And York has some Pa. Dutch, which explains the women looking down their noses at you!


I also still drive like I'm in PA. If you are from PA you know what I'm talking about. In NC you move out of the right lane to let cars merge, in PA you speed up and see if they have the balls to merge before the merge lane turns into an exit! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

And traffic lights are just for decoration.

i love this song by alabama:cool: neo


Rollin down a backwoods tennessee byway, one arm on the wheel, holdin my
Lover with the other: a sweet, soft, Massachusetts thrill.
Worked hard all week; got a little jingle on a tennessee saturday night.
Couldnt feel better: Im together with my dixieland Massachusetts delight.

Chorus:
Spend my dollar; parked in a holler neath the mountain moonlight; hold her
Uptight; make a little lovin, a little turtle dovin on a mason dixon night.
Fits my life, oh, so right: my dixieland Massachusetts delight.

Whitetail buck deer munchin on clover, redtail hawk settin on a limb, a
Chubby old groundhog, croakin bullfrog, free as the feelin in the wind.
Home grown Massachusetts country girl gonna give me a whirl on a tennessee saturday night.
Lucky as a seven livin in heaven with my dixieland Massachusetts delight.

Rednecks Lyrics

What this world needs is a few more rednecks
Some people ain’t afraid to take a stand
What this world needs is a little more respect
For the Lord and the law and the workin’ man
We could use a little peace and satisfaction
Some good people up front to take the lead
A little less talk and a little more action
And a few more rednecks is what we need
I was raised on beans and cornbread
And I like my chicken fried
Yes, I drive a pickup truck
And I’m full of American pride
I keep a Bible on my table
I got a flag out on my lawn
And I don’t believe in mindin’
No one’s business but my own
And I love them Rambo movies
I think they make a lot of sense
And it’s a shame ole John Wayne
Didn’t live to run for president

And I don’t care what nobody says
I don’t trust ole Gorbachev
And I don’t know who turned him on
But it’s time to turn him off
What this world needs is a few more rednecks
Some people ain’t afraid to take a stand
What this world needs is a little more respect
For the Lord and the law and the workin’ man
We could use a little peace and satisfaction
Some good people up front to take the lead
A little less talk and a little more action
And a few more rednecks is what we need
Now they’re tryin’ to take my guns away
And that would be just fine
If you take ‘em away from the criminals first
I’ll gladly give ya mine
And I don’t mind payin’ taxes
But it makes my temper itch
When my hard earned money goes
To make some politician rich
What most people call a redneck
Ain’t nothin’ but a workin’ man
And he makes his livin’
By the sweat of his brow
And the calluses on his hands
Now you intellectuals may not like it
But there ain’t nothin’ that you can do
Cause there’s a whole lot more of us common-folks
Then there ever will be of you
What this world needs is a few more rednecks
Some people ain’t afraid to take a stand
What this world needs is a little more respect
For the Lord and the law and the workin’ man
We could use a little peace and satisfaction
Some good people up front to take the lead
A little less talk and a little more action
And a few more rednecks is what we need
That’s what we need
And a few more rednecks is what we need

- The Souths Gonna Do It Again Lyrics

Well the train’s a-grindin’ switches - runnin’ right on time
And the Tucker boys are cookin’ down in Caroline
People down in Florida can’t be still
When Ol’ Lynyrd Skynyrd’s pickin’ down in Jacksonville
People down in Georgia come from near and far
To hear Richard Betts pickin’ on that red guitar
So gather ‘round...
Gather ‘round, children; get down.
Well, just get down, children; get loud.
Well, you can be loud here and be proud.
And you can be proud here. Now be proud you’re a Rebel
‘Cause the South’s gonna do it again...
And again.

Elvin Bishop’s settin’ on a bale of hay;
He ain’t good lookin’, but he sure can play.
And there’s ZZ Top, and, you can’t forget
That ol’ brother Bill’s gettin’ soakin’ wet.
And all the good people down in Tennessee
Are diggin’ Barefoot Jerry and the C.D.B..
Gather ‘round...
Gather ‘round, children; get down.
Well, you can get down, children; get loud.
Well, you can get loud here and be proud.
And you can be proud here. Be proud you’re a Rebel
‘Cause the South’s gonna do it again...

billy idol:cool: neo

Last night a little dancer came dancin' to my door
Last night a little angel Came pumpin cross my floor
She said "Come on baby I got a licence for love
And if it expires pray help from above"

In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"
In the midniight hour babe- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell- "more, more, more"
More, more, more.

She don't like slavery, she won't sit and beg
But when I'm tired and lonely she sees me to bed
What set you free and brought you to be me babe
What set you free I need you hear by me
Because

In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"
In the midniight hour babe- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell- "more, more, more"

He lives in his own heaven
Collects it to go from the seven eleven
Well he's out all night to collect a fare
Just so long, just so long it don't mess up his hair.

I walked the ward with you, babe
A thousand miles with you
I dried your tears of pain, babe
A million times for you

I'd sell my soul for you babe
For money to burn with you
I'd give you all, and have none, babe
Just, just, justa, justa to have you here by me
Because

In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"
In the midniight hour babe- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried "more, more, more"
More, more, more.

Oh yeah little baby
she want more
More, more, more, more, more.

Oh yeah little baby
she want more
More, more, more, more.

Guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music

(D. Yoakam)
Girl you taught me how to hurt real bad and cry myself to sleep
You showed me how this town can shatter dreams
Another lesson about a naive fool that came to Babylon
And found out that the pie don't taste so sweet
Chorus:
Now it's guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music
And lonely, lonely streets that I call home
Yeah my guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music
Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on
There ain't no glamor in this tinseled land of lost and wasted lives
And painful scars are all that's left of me
But thank you girl for teaching me brand new ways to be cruel
And if I can find my mind now, I guess I'll just leave
Chorus:
And it's guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music
And lonely, lonely streets that I call home
Yeah my guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music
Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on
It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on

Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixieland!

Early on one frosty mornin'
Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixieland!

Anyone got the lyrics to Redneck Yaht Club?I'm meetin' my buddies out on the lake:
We're headed out to a special place we love,
That just a few folks know.
There's no signin' up, no monthly dues
Take your Johnson, your Mercury or your Evinrude an' fire it up:
Meet us out at party cove.
Come on in' the waters fine,
Just idle on over an' toss us a line.

Bass-trackers, Bayliners and a party barge,
Strung together like a floating trailer park,
Anchored out and gettin' loud all summer long.
Side by side, there's five houseboat front porches,
Astroturf, lawn chairs and tiki torches.
Regular Joes rocking the boat, that's us:
The Redneck Yacht Club.

Bermuda's, flip-flops and a tank-top tan:
He popped his first top at ten a.m.: that's Bob,
He's our president.
We're checkin' out the girls on the upper deck,
Rubbin' in 15 SPF, its hot:
Everybody's jumpin' in.
Later on when the sun goes down,
We'll pull out the jar and that old guitar,
An' pass'em around.

Bass-trackers, Bayliners and a party barge,
Strung together like a floating trailer park,
Anchored out and gettin' loud all summer long.
Side by side, there's five houseboat front porches,
Astroturf, lawn chairs and tiki torches.
Regular Joes rocking the boat, that's us:
The Redneck Yacht Club.

when the party's over and we're all alone
well be making waves in a no wake zone
Bass-trackers, Bayliners and a party barge,
Strung together like a floating trailer park,
Anchored out and gettin' loud all summer long.
Side by side, there's five houseboat front porches,
Astroturf, lawn chairs and tiki torches.

As a former reeanactor of the War for Southern Independance when I lived in Warner-Robins, GA., I can honestly say that chivalry is still alive. The men I reenacted with were all locals and were all well mannered and typical southern gentlemen (at least in the presence of ladies). As an outsider who was stationed there in the USAF, they were completely open to me and treated me like a brother. My wife is Korean and they also treated here like one of the family. These men were and are the salt of the earth. God bless 'em! Men of the 16th Ga. Vol. Inf., I salute you!
BTW, I witnessed cars pulling over and stopping when a funeral procession goes by, so yes, it still happens.
A funny story:
My wife and I were driving on the Interstate between Macon and Atlanta and I was telling here the various racial slurs common in the South. I told her poor whites were called "Crackers". A few minutes later a beat up old car went by with some "Crackers" in it. She said to me, "Look honey, Biscuits." I laughed so hard I almost had an accident. She has since learned the difference between Biscuits and Crackers.

Not pulling over for a funeral procession here is liable to have the family giving you the one-finger salute as you drive by... the only exception is Highway 129 (officially Alcoa Hwy, but more commonly called 'I'll kill ya Hwy') where pulling over would get you killed. Even there, the other cars slow down and are careful not to disrupt the orderly procession (they only cut in if they have to exit and many opt to just turn around to get to their desination rather than cut into a funeral procession)
