What if the South won the Civil War.

Post by Tsyroc »

Just because we don't pick on "The South" or southerners enough on SD.net. :D

It kind of looks like someone left the Stars & Stripes on top of the White House. :D

Not being a NASCAR fan I had to think about this one for awhile. I'm guessing that Dale Earnhart drove #3 and that #24 is Jeff Gordan's number? I'd need a lot of help to recognize the other numbers.

All very good.

My step-dad is NASCAR fan, and I've picked up a bit, I'll see if i can help ya with some numbers there:

24 is Jeff Gordon
3 was/is Dale Earnheart (probably spelled wrong, I think there's a 'd' in there somewhere)
8 is Dale Earnheart Jr.
6 is Mark Martin (Viagra!)
18 is someone.
48 is someone else.
88 is Dale Jarrett (the UPS guy)

And there you have it.

I'm not very familliar with American cars. It looked like a limo to me at a first sight.

Now, when I look again, I think it looks like a mortuary car, like the ones that carry the coffins.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I *think* 18 is Unser, Jr.

And love the Winders (Bubba). Hehe.

Pretty funny, except that you forget one thing: saying "Redneck Horseshoes" is redundant, since only rednecks play horseshoes in the first place.
And you may ask yourself, 'Where does that highway go to?'

Hey! We used to play horeshoes at family reunions all the time. Okay, I see your point. :)

Now the really cool version of "horseshoes" is jarts or lawn darts but they got taken off the market because too many people got hit with them.

Call to ban lawn darts

The slightly smaller European Version

Now these look more like what I remember

Guns held by civilian killed more people than darts. Why not banning them too? Looks like hypocrisy to me.

It's more because these things were supposed to be backyard toys. Used as they are supposed to be, thrown gently underhand, they are pretty safe. However, if you start screwing around or people don't pay attention to what's going on it's very easy to get hit by the things.

Flicking them overhand like a throwing knife comes to mind. :twisted:


Even using them like you are supposed to they can be a bit iffy. As a kid I had one slip out of my hand and go straight up in the air causing a bunch of us to scatter out of the way and my uncle to freak out.

While I understand that this is supposed to be funny, some of us Southerners, in fact the majority of us, do not liked being grouped into the ignorant, raciest, trailer trash category. Please make the distinction as to who you are speaking about in the future, or you may find your post count dropping as I start deleting what is essentially flamebait.

It wasn't intended as flame bait I just thought it was funny, although I suppose I could have worked the title a bit better, but with Confederate flags in so many pictures it seemed to work the best at the time.

The quotes around "The South" were intentional as to suggest something that really doesn't exist because in truth most parts of the country are too diverse to just tag a whole section with lump stereotypes.

The additional horseshoes bit should point out that my family is by no means clear of rednecks even if we are of the Midwestern variety. :)
