Redneck Hillbilly Winter Olympics

My brother teaches high school art and sent me this list of contests his students came up with for a “Hillbilly Olympics”. Unfortunately I only have the list of events. These were the captions that went under the pictures they drew of their “games”. Whoever came up with the six pack symbol - should get an A for the class.


I haven’t decided my favorite yet- I’m torn between the girlfriend jump and riding the recliner on wheels.

Hooooo-eee now ain’t that a list!

Art Linkletter coined the phrase and he was right-

Kids say the darndest things.

But I’m whinin’ to him, because I was to see the art work that went with these.

well, at least most of THESE I understand and can get why someone does it (unlike curling)…

And there are quite a few I’ve already participated in!!! :smiley:

I could not and would not whack a possum with a stick; likewise I would never tip over a cow or toss or chase a squirrel, or fight cocks.

Whackin’ a possum with a stick would be too easy. I say make it “Whack a skunk with a stick.” :smiling_imp:

Jeff Foxworthy did a bit years ago about Redneck Olympics when the Summer Games were in Atlanta. My favorite part was the bit about the guys in the parking lot shooting the ceremonial doves!

(Sorry, Cran…I would never shoot them myself either but it was very funny)

One does Curling because it is sublime.

No bronze medal for you then!



Cowtime, (ROTFLMAO) you just made my whole day!!!
Thanks!

I gotta send this to a bunch of folks at the office here!

DH says y’all forgot one:

12 oz. Curls

and the heavyweight version…
40 oz. Curling!

You’re totally missing out on the fun.

They left out “Sail Kitties,” too. There’s a cat tossin’ contest, but it’s not the same thing. Sail kitties are to cat tossing as the discus is to the shotput – a good sail kitty will go lots farther.

Sail dogs go farther then sail kitties…

Just don’t try sail skunk!!!


( a dear friend and great storyteller, who passed away 2 years ago, had a wonderful story concerning “Sail Dogs”… RIP Chuck Larkin)

WeeeeeeeHawwwwwww!

An if’n it don’t snow none, we’ve got the 'hind of the 4X4 ski in the mud competition!

Bless you Cran…

Though if you find in your bed repeatedly in the middle of the night, you will likely change your mind!! :astonished:

Oh… and the more and harder you whack them, the more they remember where to come back to the next night!!!


(they discovered that the kitty door not only let them into a warm spot, but there was cat food!!!)
