Hey that is okay I don't really want to see a picture of WARNYOU.

Nice Christmas Tree, sorry need to be correct, holiday tree. But when I went to Wal-Mart to ask for my holiday tree on the 4th of July they thought that I was nuts.

Take care and keep posting up these funny pictures. They may be from you city folks and not the rednecks.

I thought all the rednecks were city folks that just didn’t know any better way of life?

Some of them even has indoor plumbing.

Great news to hear that some of us are finally getting indoor plumbing. The corn cob wipe was getting bad and this last winter with all of the lost power my electric heated seat was real cold. Had to use the Sears picture book to start the fire to stay warm.

Glad you have a sense of humor.

ehenningson,

Funny but, I don't see any #1 rankings in the stats you posted.

Is Omaha a second rate town also? You are proving it to be true.

WARNYOU, yes there are cities that are ranked #1 in any given catagory, but rarely is any metro rated so highly in all categories.... What this shows is that the City focuses on all aspects of living and not just one or two... A very telling and good sign..

Well WARNYOU you can have your opinion about Omaha. All I want to know is have you gone to the gas station to help them take down those terrible offensive Christmas decorations yet that have you all upset over? Then maybe you can help make Omaha #1 in all of the statical data that for one I really don't care about. Now you have a very nice Omaha Nebraska Redneck day and go visit one of our 94 counties, maybe go to Holt County this time.

Life is too short not to have some humor and enjoy a laugh no matter where we live in the city, state, or elsewhere. I just don’t understand why WARNYOU is so focused on the topic?

Well, folks think its funny and 438 views keep it on the top of the list for the Omaha forum. I do like this town, being a UPS driver keeps me out and about quite a bit, but you have to lighten up.

Thanks for relpying on this topic also you are also keeping it on the top.

I'll be focusing on more "REDNECK" photos through out the City and posting the pics.

I'll bet ya "Larry the Cable Guy" from Nebraska and Ron White, Jeff Foxworthy,and Bill Engall will sell out the Q-West Center any time they do a show there.

I kind of feel sorry you guys. Remeber this is not real, it's cyberspace.

Oh and by the way I spent a week in Waveland, MS Helping build Houses for the Katrina victoms in 2006. I seen first hand what the Salvation Army did to help down there... almost nothing except collect money. P.M. me if you want to discuss this I bet I don't here from anyone.
