You are definitely on the ragged edge. However the lack of a trucker style or camouflage cap (with or without sleeveless t-shirt) means you are at least trying to resist the effects of the recessive gene. Maybe duct tape has become mainstream, but if you own a truck with animal parts attached to it, thats something else!

Well I ain't never
Been the barbie doll type
No I can't swig that sweet champagne
I'd rather drink beer all night
In a tavern or in a honky tonk
Or on a 4 wheel drive tailgate
I've got posters on my wall of Skynard, Kid and Strait
Some people look down on me
But I don't give a rip
I'll stand barefooted in my own front yard with a baby on my hip

Cause I'm a redneck woman
And I ain't no high class broad
I'm just a product of my raisin'
And I say "hey y'all" and "Yee Haw"
And I keep my Christmas lights on, on my front porch all year long
And I know all the words to every Charlie Daniels song
So here's to all my sisters out there keepin' it country
Let me get a big "Hell Yeah" from the redneck girls like me
Hell Yeah
Hell Yeah

Victoria's Secret
Well their stuff's real nice
Oh but I can buy the same damn thing on a Wal*Mart shelf half price
And still look sexy
Just as sexy
As those models on TV
No I don't need no designer tag to make my man want me
You might think I'm trashy
A little too hard core
But get in my neck of the woods
I'm just the girl next door

Hey I'm redneck woman
And I ain't no high class broad
I'm just a product of my raisin'
And I say "hey y'all" and "Yee Haw"
And I keep my Christmas lights on, on my front porch all year long
And I know all the words to every Tanya Tucker song
So here's to all my sisters out there keeping it country
Let me get a big "Hell Yeah" from the redneck girls like me
Hell Yeah
Hell Yeah

I'm redneck woman
And I ain't no high class broad
I'm just a product of my raisin'
And I say "hey y'all" and "Yee Haw"
And I keep my Christmas lights on, on my front porch all year long
And I know all the words to every Ol' Bocephus song
So here's to all my sisters out there keeping it country
Let me get a big "Hell Yeah" from the redneck girls like me
Hell Yeah
Hell Yeah

Hell Yeah
Hell Yeah
Hell Yeah
Hell Yeah

I Said Hell Yeah


Do you resemble anything in those lyrics?

My uncle had a zapper in his backyard when I was a kid. I still remember the way they would smoke and smell bad with all the bugs burning on it.
Primitive and NASTY!!!

The Captain Cook Hotel on Christmas Island (Republic of Kiribati, Central Pacific) has the biggest industrial strength bug zapper I have ever seen in a window in the dining room. Continuous little zaps from bugs, punctuated occasionally by a really loud and long ZZZZzzzzzaaaaappppppapppp when a gecko gets in there. A really big gecko (or a rat) will actually dim the lights.

Bug zapper=not redneck

Bug zapper on the porch acting as the entertainment while you sit watching it and drinking beer=redneck, not that there's anything wrong with that. I used to live in Mississippi, and a bug zapper, some friends, and a case made for some good times.

I hope you got your meals elsewhere!!!

Somewhere, someone performed a test to see, exactly, what happens to the "remains" of a zapped bug...

They found that the little bugger, when zapped and following his "explosion," would leave a ring of fried particles approx. 4-5 feet in diameter around the zapper. The bigger the bug being zapped, the bigger the fall-out zone...

And you were eating in the dining room with an INDUSTRIAL SIZED ZAPPER?

How did that fried protein taste going down?

The EPA should study that. I see a need for cautions and regulations. Perhaps a Congressional hearing.

Actually, I found the bug zapper by-products to be less dangerous than the green mayonnaise....

3rd world level of sanitation is not what we're used to here...

consider bat houses. They eat an enormous amount of mosquitos, less energy, etc.

He was born in Oklahoma,
His wife's name's Betty Lou Thelma Liz
And he's not responsible for what he's doing
Cause his mother made him what he is.

And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother,
Mother, who has raised her son so well.
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.
Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell.

Sure does like his Falstaff beer,
Likes to chase it down with that Wild Turkey liquor;
Drives a fifty-seven GMC pickup truck;
He's got a gun rack; "Goat ropers need love, too" sticker

And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother,
Mother, who has raised her son so well.
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.
Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell.

Well,
M is for the mudflaps you give me for my pickup truck
O is for the Oil I put on my hair
T is for T-bird
H is for Haggard
E is for eggs, and
R is for REDNECK.

Up against the wall Redneck Mother,
Mother, who has raised her son so well.
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.
Kicking hippies asses and raising hell.

Or you could just move next to me. Over a two year period ending in '06 I had no less than 8 bats flying around the interior of my house, which is a cape/bungalow so that means in the living area, all at different times. Always with the wife waking up in a panic and rounding up all the kids into one room and closing the door.

With the first one, I donned my winter parka put the hood up and chased it to the basement where I trapped it with a tupperware container and called Animal Control who came and let it go. With the second one, I donned a hooded sweatshirt, knocked it to the ground with a broom, trapped it with a tupperware container end freed it in the backyard. #3 was chased in a t-shirt, boxers and the broom which I used for batting (HAH!) practice and hit a homer a couple times before it went to the big bat house in the sky. With #4-7 I was down to the boxers and a tennis racket. Dead, dead, dead, dead. I'm all for bats, as long as they are outside of my house.

Somewhere between 4 and 7 I went around and filled any crack I deemed large enough with expanding foam. After 7 I filled every hole I could find with the foam.

Oh, and #8 I found petrified and stuck in a rafter in the basement a couple of months ago while I was cleaning. He was never seen active. Probably one of those times she told me she heard one, I did a cursory search, found nothing and told her she was nuts.
