| Felt like we were in 'Deliverance'... |
| 07.27.05 (11:21 am) [edit] |
Along side a road not far from my aunt's house in North Carolina is the most hillbilly-looking 'home' I've ever seen. I've never seen so much crap in one spot. There's a small house (or is it a trailer?), an ugly rotting barn, two or three rusty old pickup trucks, and every single piece of rusty junk you can imagine.The first time my aunt and uncle took us by to see it, the guy who lived there was sitting in the front yard (if you can call it a "yard") in a moldy recliner, with a fire next to him inside a little iron stove, and a TV on in front of him. He looked... not nice. We didn't slow down too much, just to get a glimpse and continue on our way; I'm sure there's one or two shotguns in that yard somewhere... We drove by again a couple days later; thankfully the guy was nowhere in sight, so we were able to snap a few photos. Pictures don't even begin to do it justice. They just can't capture the magnitude of so much stuff surrounding this home. It truly was a sight to behold... I wish we could have gotten closer, but Lord knows who or what was lurking nearby, so we didn't really want to leave the safety of the car... Let it be known that I am a proud redneck, but I am NOT a hillbilly. The two are not to be confused, and I think only true Southerners understand the difference. Rednecks are the likes of Jeff Foxworthy, with a "glorious absence of sofistication". Hillbillies are just plain scary! Driving by this home, I could just hear the Dueling Banjos of Deliverance playing in my head...  |

Probably eaten... although he could quite possibly have a rusty old weedwhacker in that mess somewhere!

HEY! That's MY house! Do you have any idea how long it took me to get it to look like that???
Young lady, I'll see you in court!! How dare you insult my life's work!
Christo himself pronounced it a 'masterpiece of stunning uselessness and stupidity'.
hmff!

I don't think they cut the lawn, I think the lawn died under all that crap. And yes, there is a difference between a hillbilly and a redneck! Thank you for pointing that out.
