Dana- Good question! Paint Peeling is a common occurance. The best thing to do is to have a drastic change in the hubby or son's diet. More fruit and less chili should keep any further paint from peeling.

Rich, first let me say that you are very handsome. Next I would like to ask a question about this new diginal tv box that I purchased from Walmart yesterday. I cannot get good reception.
August 07, 2008
Hey Mr. Redneck....I have a question:

If cats always land on their feet.....and toast always lands butter side up......what would happen if you were to strap toast on the back of a cat and then drop it from say....a second story window?

Curious minds need to know...

OldLady- First thing first... thank you, I do my best with what the Lord gave me.

Okay, two key things to make sure your digital box is working at optimal performance. First you need to make sure you are hooked up using a "Digital Antenna." These are fairly inexpensive.
 
Secondly, you need to make sure you have it hooked up to the actual television. Just setting on top of the VCR will not improve you television viewing pleasure. BillyRay said he will come by tonight to do that part of it.

ok, God bless you honey. Feel free to come over too and I will cook you boys some fried chicken and collards.

Michael- the only thing that would happen would be that you'd have a pee'd off cat running from a toast-hungry dog. I wasn't even worth doing the experiment in my opinion!

Bubbles- Two words, power sander. Works like a dream!

Rich, my boy just can't seem to hit the toliet target if ya know what I mean...I've tried everything and now I am at wits end...Making him clean it doesn't work...He's too big for pampers, and according to the "law" he can't be doing it outside no more...any suggestions?

And I've always wondered why do they make cars that go 120mph if we ain't allowed?
Hudnall

MsSuga- I usually just pop them on the head with newspaper and stick thier nose in it. With Chase, the only thing that worked was to tell him I was gonna clean up his accidents with his favorite stuffed Earnhardt car... he listened to that pretty good.

As for going #2... just feed him low fiber foods with lots of cheese. It won't help him potty train, but you'll have less to clean in the long run! lol

So there is a law about "going" outside? I must be a felon!
Richard

Pastor Tim- Now I aint sure that you really need to "Tap into your inner redneck." I think you just need to first embrace the redneck within and then release it for all to see.

What I mean is, you know you enjoy passing gas... all rednecks do. So embrace this little piece of you then showcase it to the world. Good thing you're married though, cause it won't get you a ton of dates.

How can you know if a car mechanic is being honest with you?  And why is my check engine light on all the time?

Richard
August 07, 2008
Now Wendy, I usually go the funny route here but I have to be honest... I've slapped my fair share of shade-tree mechanic jaws in my day for giving me a raw deal. So I'm going to give you some real advise.

1st- Don't ever let me work on your car. My yard looks like a graveyard of gas-sucking machinery that gave up their ghosts.

2nd- Get refferals from friends and relatives, and make sure you tell the mechanic why you chose them.

3rd- Make sure they are ASE certified. This doesn't mean that they won't take your money; but it means that they on their own time to learn the skills needed for today's techonlogies.This certification is of great value to any shop or technician who takes pride in thier work.

Check Engine light? Probably the Oxygen Sensor. Run by any Auto Zone type store and they will run the engine diagnostic for free. They will even show you how much the parts cost to get you better prepared for a trip to the mechanic.

Good luck.

Ok Rich... My Dog... Luke Skywalker my Dog.

I am asking another Redneck... because I really DON"T LIKE WHAT BILLY RAE had to say...

Please tell me this isn't a Redneck creed
Richard
August 07, 2008
Becky- I wish I knew about training dogs not to chew on shoes. The truth is, all my shoes stink so bad my dogs wouldn't get near them no way... and they sure wouldn't put them in thier mouth!

Maybe you should learn to have smellier feet?

Wish I knew, but love ya anyway! Rednecks unite, and then run up to the store to get me a root beer!

Does your significant other release more gas emissions than your grannie’s old pickup truck?

I think I got an answer for that one.  Change your diet!  LOL!!!

Dear Rich,
My significant other snores so hard, I'm scared he's gonna swaller his teeth, and he don't wear them denture things!
What can we do?
Signed,
zzzzz...wha?! Dang it, Jim, roll over!

Richard
August 08, 2008

Phyllis- Snoring is a very common occurence, especially in males; and it often only affects the person lying next to them (or in my case, the family three trailers down.) Most don't even realize they snore unless their wife or boss reveals this to them.

I find it funny when I hear guys talk about how their wives will wake them up with a swift elbow to the ribs when they are snoring in the middle of the night. My first question would be, what is he supposed to do about it when he is awake?

Anyway, there is a bunch of "remedies" out there; from sprays and strips, to positioning your bed upright so high that neither of you will sleep well. I've found that most of these don't work.

The only advice I have is to wait until your hubby gets a good snoring rhythm going, and then start singing "I've Been Workin on the Railroad." Once you get a good handle on singing to the rhythm, mix it up a bit or try and write your own song.

This won't help you sleep any better, but it sure makes staying awake more fun!

Take care sis!

Ok Rich Cooking for the homeless and down & out for church this morning. You know southern style beans and ham hocks. Had an extra Hock with little meat on it, gave it to the darn dog.

You would think with the force being with Luke Skywalker the Dog would get more Jesus... But

Why does he always have to stand at the counter and nibble a piece of the dessert I make? I mean really does he think that pinneapple upside down cake really goes with beans & ham?
Or did he think he had to have the other 4 ham hocks.

What to do now? Please don't tell me like Billy Rae to put him down. I just taught him how to speak yesterday.
Juan Gon
August 08, 2008
Reeech how I make that bean dip? The one you make at the cook out.
Richard
August 08, 2008
Becky- I too think that pineapple cake would go perfectly with beans and ham; not as desert either but as a side dish!

Hey, if you taught him to speak yesterday then you should just sit down and have a logical conversation with him. But if the little booger says "Uncle Rich made me do it" then you may have to put him down.

Juan- I bought that bean dip from Wal-Mart. I just added more cheese and switched dishes to impress your wife.

Rich


The mut should be happy. For a sci fi dog I leave the Sci Fi channel on for him all the time, I mean he is trying to become a Jedi Knight with the name Luke Skywalker. Should I switch to the animal channel so he can here from the dog whisperer? I do have a better cook now who actually cleans she is from SC and is actually cheaper. It would be cheaper to have him watch the Dog Whisperer than hire him, don't you think


I don't know about blaming Uncle Rich, I mean he is trying to accept Christ after trying to eat my bible while I read it. I think he should take responsibility for his own actions, and repent.


I really don't own a gun yet, if it keeps getting any worse, can I come up and borrow yours. Better yet I just dont have the heart, do you think you could just send Billy Rae down, and he can bury him in the tobacco field. I will find a headstone, and attach his favorite light sabor to it. snif snif...sigh.....

Becky Sutherland

oh and Rich, please forgive this implant from Dodge City, Kansas. I do know I now live in the south, and I do know all about the NRA.

I am sorry I do not own a shotgun yet. Does it help that I do know how to use one and can shoot pheasants, quail and duck.

Can I redeem myself a little, there?
Richard
August 08, 2008
Lara- Deer Lawn ornaments are the next best thing to pink flamingos here in the trailer park. The best thing to do is to saw the horns off each one cause we dont shoot at those anyway.

Sorry to hear about the neighbor with the hubcap fence. Unfortunately, us rednecks find it much easier to hammer a nail rather than use a paint brush. In my honest opinion, this guy is kind of a genius; wish I'd thought of that.

I don't know how to tell you to keep from doing it though; perhaps you should tell him that all that chrome is attracting alien visitors from another planet and all them little green men like rap music.

I have a question for you Rich my ole redneck friend and here it is.....WHY.....
Brother Todd
August 08, 2008
Rich:  I want to know why we drive on the park way and we park in the drive way.
       
Seriously, though, I want to know what is so popular about Nascar?  OK, everybody get ready...we are going to drive 500 miles taking left turns.  Going around and around and around. Now we can't pass anyone when that yellow flag comes out and I just don't get it.  Help me get it cause I live in Alabama and they like Nascar as much as Football down here.
Brother Todd
August 08, 2008
I just gave you your 1,000 star!  Do I get a door prize or something?
Prudence Ramos
August 08, 2008

Heeheehee....I'm contemplating a redneck question..... uh, I got nothin...  Oh, well, I'm enjoying the q & a with everyone else on here!!!  Bless ya'll!

Richard
August 08, 2008
Well Brother Todd, it's like this... If there wasnt a Nascar race to watch, most rednecks would just get all drunk and sit in the middle of freeway traffic cheering on the fastest one. Motor oil is on our shirts and exaust is in our blood. Plus we like the predictable, we don't like to have to think about much... so a bunch of fellas making all left turns is fine with us. 

I think Nascar used to kinda depend on us, that's why they put "redneck" products on their cars; especially in the early days... skoal bandits, redman, mello-yellow, penzoil, etc. That was the only kinda advertisement we could stand to watch... at 200 mph! Now they seem to have pulled away from us slightly and tried to clean up their act, perhaps for the good of all redneck-kind.

I caint say fer sure why we love it, we just do. We just go together like a pizza stain on a Sunday shirt.

Hope this helped. Thanks for the 1000th star my friend. Keep checking the mail for your cash prize.

PhyllisAdelle Sherer
August 08, 2008
Thanks, Rich. I put bunches of cinder bricks under the bed posts to tilt the bed up. Now if I can just figure out how to tie him to the bed so he'll stop falling out onto his head...maybe if I wrap it around his neck, it'll keep him in the bed, and he'll stop snoring as well..  ;)~

Rich,

I gots another problem. My car has fenders...well lets just say they have seen prettier days. The ole pink Corolla has black fenders.

See this is the problem, everything likes to jump out and hit me. Heading up to the city on 42 and a deer smacks into the fender. Went back to see if it was dead so we could make some deer jerky, but it ran off. I knew it was a ploy.

Then in my new neighborhood, the mailboxes are evil. I didn't mean to run over mine with the moving truck. I guess the one around the curve was mad, cause it jumped out and crashed into my car. Then when I fixed the windsheild, It jumped again, I swerved away and dodged it. The chocolate cake I made for church though, hit the floorboard.

What can I put on ole faithful to save her for more attacks on the road? HELP..
Brother Todd
August 09, 2008
Rich if you ain't first you're last! 

Well, I can get into the speed but that yellow flag takes all of the fun out of it.  Sure would be fun to see them make their moves with debris all over the track.

Keep in mind I was born and raised a Yankee in NH but have lived in Ga and now live in Alabama for 20 years and I'd like to know why Rednecks save everything but money.  Broken down cars, bottles, my daughter collects them from Fuze to the funky looking Moutain Dew bottles, They (my kids) keep Mardi Gras beads...we've got thousands of them, what for?  My son collects ball caps, he doesn't even like some teams but he has almost everyone in the SEC...Another question:  Why does my daughter scream and cheer everytime we pass a John Deere Farm tractor on the road?..we grow a lot of peanuts, and cotton, down here.  It's 100 degrees outside and my kids want to wear jeans boots and a hoodie and in the winter they wear shorts and flip flops.  What's up with that?  Maybe you can better help me understand my own youngins.

So good to hear from you again Rich!!! I got an interesting question for you. I have a male cat. He is so loving. He will sit in your lap for hours on end, letting you pet him and love him. Well, the problem started about a year ago.....when we had him "fixed."  Well, it was the wife that had him fixed, I only loaded him up in the cat cage.

Now, after a year, he wont come near me. If I try to catch him and pick him up, he just runs from me. I want my lap cat back!! Can you help me Rich??

PS....Dont suggest that I get the V-word done.....cuz it aint hap'ning!!  LOL

Rich,

You know I am a trekie not a techie... When my computer says reboot... does than mean I should put another pair of boots on and kick it till it works right. You know like that ole tv I have.

Thanks

Richard
August 11, 2008
Bro Todd, boy you are just full of questions huh?

Anyway... to answer why rednecks save everything but money. Though this may seem to be an accurate assumption, there is actually an error in this statement. Rednecks do not "save" anything; we only accumilate things and are to lazy to dispose of them. And you can only accumilate things that come your way, which is why we never have any money.

Now about the kiddies... Rednecks, perhaps; or they might be hoarders... little complusive collectors of redneck garbage. Don't let this alarm you right now, just watch them. If they begin to collect half-used rolls of duct tape or Elvis paraphanelia, you should intervene before it's too late and they force you to move into my trailer park.

Tell them Uncle Rich says hey!
Richard
August 11, 2008
Matthew! Sup Bro?

Man I don't know much about cats, but that sure sounds like something a lady would do. Poor fella! What happened, was he caught "littering?" lol

Poor cat... sounds like he may be jealous of you now, but I won't say what you don't want to hear.
Richard
August 11, 2008
Becky, I would agree with you about the boots... but Luke probably already chewed them up too!

Three words... Dashboard Hula Girl. Ever since I stuck one of them on the dash of my pickup I aint had no problems with deer, mailboxes, school kids, or nothin!

Billy Ray: Maybe you could help explain the difference between a "redneck" and a "good ole boy"
Richard
August 13, 2008
Well Bro Todd- The difference between a redneck and a good ole boy is about 500 dollars.

You see, a Good ole boy probably has or knows how to get his hands on 500 bucks right quick; while a redneck aint never seen that much money up-close and wouldn't know what to do with it no way.

I guess you can say that a good ole boy is like a redneck, but with a bit more class. Example:

Rich= Good Ole Boy
ByllyRay= Redneck
Brother Todd

Carol  Hall
August 13, 2008
Rich, your blog is hilarious...I'm glad I happened on by!
My question is:
How do I keep from having to smell my neighbor's chicken farm? It is most pungent in the early morning and late at night.
Carol
Richard
August 13, 2008
Hey Carol! Glad you dropped in today!

I wonder what smells worse... your neighbor's chicken farm or my neighbor's chicken parm? I bet it would be a close matchup.

Anyway, let me start off by saying that you should not invest in any of them smelly candles or sprays, nor anything that was advertised by Billy Mays on an infomercial. They will not fix your problem.

I would suggest that you call one of them PETA groups and tell 'em that them chickens are being abused or forced into doing hard labor. Tell them that they are cutting thier beaks off or something. Them folks will sneak in there and have that placed cleaned out by sun-up.

Good luck.
Carol  Hall
August 13, 2008
I bet mine smells worse...I told them so, but they said it smelled like money to them.
About calling PETA: Did you try that, and did it work for you?
Richard
August 13, 2008
I called them, but by the time they got their my friend Juan had already taken his donkey back in the house. My flower bed never did look the same.
Richard
August 13, 2008
Nah, I just kiddin bout the PETA thing... les you think it may be a good idea.

Just duct tape around the windows and doors, learn to sleep late and go to bed early when the smell is at its worse.
Carol  Hall

Ok......why did God make skeeters (not the boat, boys)? And why are there always chiggers around blackberry bushes?????
Richard
August 19, 2008
Good question Cinderelly!

The reason God made skeeters is so rednecks will have something to watch on the bug zapper. Plus they keep the women and children off the porch when daddy needs private time with his buddies at night.

Chiggers just keep Northern folk from staying down here too long. I love chiggers, as long as they are on someone else!

Okay, I got one for you:  Why do worms come out unto the sidewalk when it rains?  Wouldn't you think they would crawl to high ground or climb a tree? ;-)
Richard
September 18, 2008
Kris- this is simple... Worms aren't trying to find higher ground. They are just trying to get cleaned off a little bit. Digging around everyday gets mighty messy, so they welcome the chance to get a good shower.

Plus worms think of a rainy sidewalk as a good place to meet women. When it rains, they all know where the good lookin worms will be; so they put on thier best smile and head on over there. Best worm pickup line? "Hey babe, where IN earth have you been all my life?"

Enjoy
