Redneck Olympics




So today I stumbled across this here article and I can't decide which is weirder that there is actually a Redneck Games or that last year a boy lost his arm at the Redneck Games (there's a tasteless Jeff Foxworthy joke in there somewhere). Apparently the Games have been somewhat of a yearly event started back in 1996 to coincide with the Summer Olympics in Atlanta and it caught on faster than a greased pig in heat on a slip n' slide (or something to that effect).


Past games have featured such down south events as cigarette tossing, mud pit belly flop, dumpster diving, bobbing for pigs feet, redneck horseshoes (that involve toilet seats) and something called armpit serenade. However might I suggest some other potential events:

-Duelin' Banjos

-Hooch Off

-You Might Be A Redneck If... Competition

-Pig Beauty Pageant

-Shit Kick-A-Thon

-Hoedown Throwdown

-Kissin' Cousins Booth


And those are just off the top of my head! On a positive note all proceeds go to charity, so that kind of justifies having a stereotypical redneck version of the Olympics since it goes to a good cause. If you want more information, want to watch a Redneck Games video or want proof that this is a real thing you can go here.
