Most Redneck thing you've done

Serious for a post: DO NOT throw a shock absorber into a fire. Every rural father and otherwise should teach their kids about this obscure danger.

Or an empty can of white gas.

We used to drop large rocks on 22 shells in the middle of the street. Lead always gone. Not sure where it ever went.

We use to put push shotgun shell thru cardboard boxes and shoot the primers with BB guns. There were lots of bangs. Let along all the BB guns wars. Couldn't shoot above the waist. Till some thing dumb happened.


There is so many, I could go on for a month.

I shot and shot and shot at shotgun shells and couldn't get them to fire both bb gun and 22. We knew bb gun fights were dangerous but we didn't care. I was the youngest among older cousins and had the least powerful bb gun so I had to be close . I snuck up on my older cousin in a bale pile and poked him in the leg with my bb gun and scared the crap out of him. he begged and threatened don't shoot this close. I should have , I turned around and was walking away and he shot me in the back and damn near dropped me.

I wasn't there but neighbor boy got shot in the eye with a bb gun by his brother and bb was lodged in the eyelid. Their dad was our goto neighborhood veterinarian so he cut it out with a razor blade and no damage done.


I was always making mini cannons that shot bbs. one didn't fire so I used the cutting torch to make it fire but it got so hot that it burned my fingers so I threw it up in the air and the dirty bugger went off in mid air, bb hit the cement floor and ricocheted right into my upper lip and I bled like a stuck hog. I made up a story that I hit my lip on a tree branch snowmobiling. A few years later I was in the dentist for a chipped tooth and dentist took an xray and saw the round white spot in x-ray. I had to fess up and tell him what it was , both him and my dad got a chuckle out of that.


Nother time I loaded up some table salt in something and thought it would be like a sandblaster shot at the painted door in my boycave and it shot right through the door so I put a hanger thing above it and hung an old coat over it. Mom and dad found it many years later when I was in HS and asked about it and we all had a good laugh.

If it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger. There was no such thing as bubble wrap or bubble wrapping your kids in the 60s .

Don't put an old magnesium wheel in the fire either.

In the 1970s there was a western art museum by the refinery exit in Mandan…for some dumb reason the place had a huge fiberglass King Kong statue…we thought Kong was an insult to our fine community, so we shot a few arrows in his chest one night in Bo Duke fashion…I think the gorilla ended by Cooperstown…

Chain saw ran out of gas and needed firewood for the party. Hooked rope to truck..other end of rope to dead tree. Gave it a good yank. Dead tree fell on truck......

Anorher party had a buddy with a small hatchet. He stood on the log and was swinging to hit the wood on the cut end..well he missed and swung it right into his leg...ER we went. Dropped him off and took off as non of us wanted minors.

I have more.....we ran over a buddy one time.....

Got a speeding ticked doing 135 in a 75 by Hillsboro, was doing 80 when a hemi charger flew by me. So I started following him, he would speed up then I would until a state patrol officer in front of him clocked him and me. He thought we knew each other and wanted to get us for drag racing but the state attorney wouldn't let him, luckily I had a clean driving record. 223 dollar fine and 13 points but I took a defensive driving class which didn't help with the ticket since I had no points to deduct so the ended up dropping it down to 115 which was only 11 points. My insurance agent told me that high speed driving is actually worse then a dui when it comes to driving record, luckily they didn't drop me.
When i first bought the car, a 2011 bmw 335i I buried the needle on the speedo which is 160 mph, top speed 175 at 6000 rpm. The crazy thing about the charger is he was on his way to bring his buddy his car but had no drivers license bonded out and got pulled over again with another ticket for not dl.
