The Common Clay of the Frontier

 From their faces, I just know that this pair fought and scraped and battled their way through the US Stockmarket Crash, Depression and the Dustbowl.

Alas, I also hear "You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons."

Rural Family in Summer

 

The evenings are beginning to get shorter, so let's celebrate the arse-end of August with this redneck family.

Bonus - CHRONOLOGY OF WAKEUP CALLS Compiled by Colin Fries, NASA History Division

The Fish-Sized Baby

 

Or maybe "The Baby-Sized Fish".

When I realised that American loved taking pictures of "Fish I Have Caught" and picture of "My Crotch-Goblins", then it was only a matter of time before both appeared in teh same slide.

Like this.

Young Love

 

It's St Valentine's Day, so tradition dictates that I rouse myself from from my desperately lonely dungeon of social isolation, and  post an image of suitable soppiness, for the enjoyment of the millions and millions of on-blog-readers. <Dejected Shrug > Whatever.

Here it is. Bobby and Katie. In love for the rest of their lives. 

Well, Boobt at least. Later that same day, he was attacked and consumed by a pack of racoons.

Bonus - What the Global Pandemic has told us about sports' "Home Field Advantage".

Fish vs Baby - Fish Wins

Cletus, on the left here, is definitely proud of his recent catch.

With the aid of his beloved wife/sister Brandeen, he's happy to demonstrate that this here catfish is bigger that Cletus Junior.

Bonus - I blame the Arabs for 9/11.    Without them, we'd have had IX/XI.

Bonus 2 - Blade Runner ?   Nope. San Francisco 2020...forest fire edition

The Overloaded Pony

Ponies are tough, resilient determined animals, but this one does look a little overburdened.


Bonus -

Thursday.

The Pheasant Hunters

You know, I never really thought about the geographical spread of pheasants...until I saw this slide.

And yes, someone introduced the common pheasant into America, so rednecks like Sam and Sam (above) can go shootin' for sport.

Bonus - 100 Years since the establishment of The Kingdom of Iceland.
Bonus 2 - The Maine Bloodworm.   Yeauch

Britain May Have Talent ...

Apparently Britain's Got Talent is on ScumTV, and apparently it's as accurate a programme title as Celebrity Big Brother.

So, here's an act from the archives. I wonder if Simon Cowell has a biting phrase for The Three Rednecks.

Bonus - Brown Death: A History of Poop As a Weapon

Necks of Red

As Bo Diddley said, You Can't Judge A Book By Looking At The Cover, but I'm guessing that these are not Jehovah's Witnesses on the prowl in urban New York.

No, Red Necks in Arkansas would be my guess.

Bonus - Roy Orbison on a Go-Cart

Summer with the Family

Difficult to see from here, but they certainly seem like Rednecks.

Bonus - You know you're getting old when the "edgy" music you used to play to piss your parents off is being played as background music at the supermarket.

Junior Redneck

Now I'm the last person to jump to conclusions based upon someone's appearance, but this young lad is....

Scratch that. I'm the FIRST person to jump to conclusions based upon someone's appearance, but this young lad isdestined to grow up into a John Deere cap-wearing, fiddle-playin', "Squeal like a pig, boy", vestigial tailed redneck of the finest kind. Might even have a shot at being Mayor of Hicksville Arkansas, and from there, the sky's the limit.

Bonus - Blackboards in Porn. Seemples.
