Re: chances are your probably a redneck

So if you think you know what having a redneck neighbor is like check out this site. It’s ranked an unbelievable 154 by Alexa.com. That means it is the 154th most popular site on the web. THT comes in at 59,827 and Yahoo comes in at 4 to give you an idea.<br /><br /> http://www.knology.net/~carlos/redneck.htm

Re: chances are your probably a redneck

This website is not depcting having a redneck neighbour just having rich white trash as a neighbour. A true redneck is not all that bad as most of the know how to build things right the first time. The house work would look nice just out of place for a rich neighbourhood. This fellow has redneck confused with something else.

In regards to that website, I did find it amusing but I don't know which is worse. The wantabe builder or the one who did the site.<br />Can you say, libel, defamation and harrassment.

Re: chances are your probably a redneck

That web site brings some thought to mind. Serious stereo-typing! Around here we work together as neighbors, share advice and lend a hand. When ever I am doing a "project" my neighbor lends advice and visa versa. I feel that the guy who posted the web site is narrow minded and flat out stupid. He does not list or mention any attempts to become friends. I hope that the house sells and his new neighbors are twice as rowdy. Maybe he was offended that he was not invited to any of the parties? Does the word neurotic come to mind? Heck, that alleged "redneck" is a hero to someone and gets my praise just for flying a flag. The quickest solution is for the idiot to sell his camera equipment and put a for sale sign on his own house. If you don't like the water...get out of the pool.<br /><br />Bob

Re: chances are your probably a redneck

Hi guys, <br /><br />with regards to the last couple of posts regarding the website owner,, I thought I'd pipe up and add my 2 cents worth..<br /><br />Its too easy to make judgements here, if we were in either of their places, we'd probably act similiar... we don't know till we are in that situation..<br /><br />If someone like that moved in next store.. I'd probably be annoyed as well, maybe not as annoyed as that guy, but annoyed nevertheless..<br /><br />for starters, he saw the guy stealing from the building site.. which means that the guy 'steals' I'd be worried if my boat was parked in the front yard or something.. I dispise theives.<br /><br />secondly, I know what its like to have to work in the morning and have people next door have their stereo blasting at 120db at 2 in the morning....(the occasional party is ok, but on a regular occasion I'd get p!ssed off eventually.)<br /><br />One the other hand, I know how annoying it is to have people judge me because my backyard is full of half finished weekend projects.. (mostly cars, but a motorbike and currently my boat.) so I am of two minds on this... <br /><br />just wanted to say that we shouldn't judge till we are in their place.. <br /><br />I always rather fond of the slack jawed yokkels I have come accross, most of them are nice enough people... and they are not afraid to get into anything...<br /><br />regards<br /><br />Frank..<br /><br />yall come back now yahere??? :)

Re: chances are your probably a redneck

I can't beleieve some of you are defending that inconsiderate slob that poor guy has had to put up with!!<br /><br />He (the website builder) moved into that neighborhood, which obviously has CC & R's, for a reason. If he wanted to live next to a construction site, he could have done so.<br /><br />I have no problem with people (the slob) that want to operate that way (except thieves) but, they should keep it to themselves. When you're in a subdivision, it becomes everyones business. Like it or not, that's just the facts.<br /><br />I work on boats in my garage. However my neighbors would never know it. The only comments I get from them is that they wonder if I ever work on it. They never see it out in the driveway. The reason being, that is by design-mine. I've also gone out of my way to make sure that my vehicles are also inside.<br /><br />This society we now live in is SUPPOSED to be civilized. That slob that moved in next to that guy was just about himself-to hell with the neighbors. That guy was a menace, had more than one incident with fire. Would you still want to be his buddy if he burnt YOUR house down while in a drunken stupor??

Re: chances are your probably a redneck

Gentlemen, I do not condone his thefts and I agree on that. After 20 years in a virtual melting pot of society (United States Army) I learned that everyone has the opportunity to rise to the occasion. I just feel that this guy did not make any attempts to be a "neighbor". I used to preach to my people that everyone should be approached with the intent of taking their temperature. Now there are two ways orally :rolleyes: which is friendly and non orally :mad: which is not so nice. I just think that from the beginning this guy was labeled a redneck and not given a chance. <br /><br />Frank you are right. Without living in the situation it's hard to tell how we would react. I am sure our yards (counties apart :) ) look very much the same with projects going on.<br /><br />I'm not a very religious man but....he without sin may cast the first stone.... I wonder if the website guru snooping neighbor has ghosts in his closets.<br /><br />Now, after the incident with the fires I would just label him as careless and keep my own insurance up to date. <br /><br />Here's a good thought. Have the redneck contact me and I will buy him his own digital camera and we can reverse the role. He can spy on his "perfect neighbor" and we can do a web site on it. Oh, wait.... isn't that considered ILLEGAL STALKING!<br /><br />Bob :cool:

Re: chances are your probably a redneck

Heck I never defended the guy I just said to compare his kind to a redneck is like compairing the pope to Bill Clinton. There are some simmilarities as far as the fact they are (in one case were) powerful men but as far as reputation and things that count no compairison. Rednecks would have had the chickens but would have built a coop for them. I have never known a true redneck to steal if he can't afford it he does without till he can. Rednecks are not bad folks they just do things difrnt. (mispelled to make a point) I take offense to this guy calling his trash of a neighbour a redneck.

And as an afterthought MOST of us here qualify as a redneck so we should be offended here.

Back on topic :D <br /><br />Little Redneck Jerry Junior comes home from his first day at school. <br /><br />His mother asks, "What did you learn today?" <br /><br />"Not enough. I have to go back tomorrow," replied Jerry.

Re: chances are your probably a redneck

You have a bumper sticker that says,<br />"MY MOTHER'S AN HONOR STUDENT AT SOUTH LITTLE ROCK JR. HIGH." <br /><br />Fifth grade was the best six years of your life. <br /><br />You think the three primary colors are John Deere Green, Ford Blue, and Primer Gray. <br /><br />During your senior year you and your mother had homeroom together. <br /><br />You stare at an orange juice container because it says, "CONCENTRATE". <br /><br />Your toilet paper has page numbers on it. <br /><br />Your Junior/Senior Prom had a Daycare.<br /><br /> :D

Re: chances are your probably a redneck

Not a Redneck joke-Cajun.<br /><br />Big Boudreaux decides he is going to build mama a new house.<br />He sends young Boudreaux to town to the lumber yard to get some four by twos. He gives him instructions to see Mr. Gallatoire.<br />Young Boudreaux sees Gallatoire, who has some questions.<br />Young Boufreaux returns home with no four by twos. Big Boudreaux listens to the questions and and sends young one back to town.<br /><br />Young Boudreaux sees Mr. Gallatoire and Gallatoire asks young Boudreaux the question:<br />Well, how long does your daddy want the four by twos?<br /><br />Young Beaudreaux replies: "He wants them a long time-he's building a house!
