I was channel surfing, and came across a programme called "The Redneck Games."

Frankly it was quite shocking, apparently each year in East Dublin Georgia they hold this event, that includes such activities as horseshoe pitching using toilet seats, and the discus using a hubcap.

It's supposedly like the olympics for white trash, but most of the time the people just seemed to be rolling around in the mud and making vulgar noises with their armpits.

Bulldog lives in Georgia, maybe she knows more about these strange goings on.

Dear Jat,
Let it be known that Redneck Games are held regularly in the Southern States. Yes they are a bunch of rednecks doing crazy stuff that most folks would never dream of (I was always good at the chewing tobacco spitting contest till I gave up Tobacco products for an occasional good cigar) but rest assured that this is not a White Trash only party. I have seen bankers, lawyers, college proffesors, and all sorts engage in these activities. Most of the stuff is all in good fun, especially the beer drinking.

Thanks for the tip, I'm definitively thinking about it, but I've read that it can be quite hard, and that you have to stear both brothers at the same time and such..

My current list over games I want (alphabetical):
Available:
42 All-time Classics (maybe, but it has to be cheap)
Animal Crossing: Wild World
Lego Star Wars II
New Super Mario Bros
Sega Casino (also needs to be cheaper)
Shamu's Deep sea Adventure
Super Princess Peach
The Sims 2
The Sims 2: Pets
Trauma Center: Under the Knife
Urbz: Sims in the city

And a Wi-fi Connector..

Announced:
Hotel Dusk: Room 215
Phoenix Wright: Justice for All
Touch Detective


Feel free to tell me what I should add, and cross out from my list..

Select the text you want to strikeout, go to the Format menu and select Font. It should list a strikethrough option.

That's how sick I am of every other thread at the moment.
As I never post here anymore, a least this goes to show that I can't be blamed for this.

Trep's gone? Damn.
I've been meaning to play Monkey Island 1 for a long time, but haven't got round to it. Otherwise recently I've been exceptionally well.

Without going into too much detail, he has taken a break from AG.com.

He does still check his PMs though, so he can be reached that way if you like.

I sent him a PM to get his little booty back here but to no avail. He sent me a PM to E-mail him but I don't have his damn e-mail addy! I have no IM on my computers due to the fact that I have young daughters that I will not let IM. I do not believe in the 'Do as I say not as I do' thing, I lead by example

Not at the same time. You have to control them separately sometimes, in that the babies can seperate from the adults and wander around separately, but you're only ever controlling one group at a time. You only have one D-Pad after all

Ah, I must have misunderstood then.. That makes it more likely that I'll get it..
I'm really bad at fighting/sneaking and timed sequences, thats why I tend to only play ags.. But, you never get anywhere with never trying...

I still think I'll pick up super mario bros first though..

Did you just call me white trash? I have heard of the games in Dublin…… although I would never go, it’s just not my cup of tea. I have watched things on TV and laughed my ass off at some of the things that are going on…… but I have never partaken in such games.

I would never do karate on you unless you tried to take advantage of me......

As long as I'm your treasure then woo-hoo
