Following Alta's awesome post, I've spent the last three hours listening to Mojo Nixon. What's especially troubling is now I want to see if I can ramp my Chevy over a cow. The music really adds a lot to the experience, but with the commentary I think it'd just be too busy. For the full effect, just go ahead and queue up some kickass tunes and listen to em along with the vids. So how about we work together to compile a list of awesome track recommendations to go with each video, and I'll pick my favourite and post it in the OP next to the graphic? Also I'm officially designating this thread the Shitkicker Appreciation Station Talk to me about music, whiskey, barbecue, and shenanigans. Let's celebrate grown-rear end men and women acting like idiot babies.

This is one of my favorite More-Country-than-"Country" tracks, by none less than Hank Williams, Jr's son: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTk3fGpo2Lk (also song might not be work-safe, just a heads-up)

I saw these guys open up for Deer Tick a few years ago. Hell of a fun show! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=903oVzMObak And speaking of good 'ol boys ramping their muscle cars over cows, let us all remember this classic from Walyon Jennings himself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHB435qJM-M

As a native of Georgia, I would find this LP offensive, if it weren't for the fact that the vulgar stereotypes portrayed within are... largely a result of Southern comedians trying to make a quick buck by mocking the underclass.  Basically what I'm getting at is this LP is loving hilarious and keep doin' whatcha doin', even if y'are a pack of yankee carpetbaggers.

The true southern religious experience involves a 12 pack of beer, a porta-berm made with some plywood, a few 2x4's, some plywood, and an AK-47 you purchased at a gun show 3 hours before. Empty forest-land in recommended, though not essential as you might want your neighbors to join in.

If you haven't played it yet, WET on the PS3/360 has an excellent psycho/rockabilly soundtrack. The game itself is kinda eh, but everything else is top notch.

Instrumental rockabilly cover band The 13 Crimson Ghosts are pretty much the best. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cfAC-gRk4c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD26o1WV12A I also discovered Duke Sedan and the Hi Tones while looking for a different local band. The other band is no good. These guys are good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vlFCLiZ9tg

It was a hit here in Texas as well, based off of anecdotal experience on my part.

The entirety of the Hillfolk/Hillbilly/Redneck experience seems to be able to be summed up as "the Scot-Irish didn't take poo poo from nobody... but also had a bad history of being screwed out of poo poo as well".

  Episode 2: Lumberlands. Recommended listening: Johnny Remember Me by The Meteors (recommended by Juvenalian.Satyr) Hiya, thanks for coming back! Joining me today for a hell of a tough level are the awesome Abby Denton and the equally awesome Anoia Edit: Some thoughts on today's update I keep forgetting that there was a time before plot and pacing in FPS games. Levels are less chapters in a story than simply arenas full of enemies, and for a game ostensibly about Rednecks defending their turf from marauding alien sumbitches, we're surprisingly light on aliens. Here's hoping for a plot development sooner or later. Or at least a new gun. Skippy Granola fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Jul 21, 2014 |

So as a person from New Brunswick, I feel uniquely qualified to state that the "south" of Canada is our east. Like, we have everything you'd expect from a back water: hicks living in trailers in the woods (that they cut out themselves), a disturbing love of guns and light beer, inability to maintain professional sports teams, casual racism, and many more! Also I played the hell out of this game as a kid. Never really understood any of it. But now that I do, I might have to try this again.

Only the games that came on ZIP disks could hold all the extra kilobytes of graphics and text required to convey concepts more complex than "Pick up gun. Shoot man. Eat pork rinds until you poo poo yourself. There is a mailbox here."

The next time I'm down at the lake, I'll take some pictures of the "locals". Oh also here in Saint John, we have a trailer park in the middle of the biggest commercial district in the city. Surrounded by suburbs. It's actually not a bad place to be honest. If you want an accurate example of trailer parks in eastern Canada, though, watch Trailer Park boys. It's funny because it's true. Oh Canada  And this is Ontario, I think.

When you literally only have two options for dealing with everything you don't need a story or reasons. See thing, shoot thing or walk into thing. Repeat until game end.

Personally, they're better than quite a few candy bars but the marshmallow can catch a person off guard.

My kid brother makes flavored "moonshine", and I put it in sarcasm quotes because even by the undemanding standards of moonshine it is the laziest, nastiest poo poo ever. It's more like a hateful, pointlessly time-intensive cocktail. He takes a jug of juice, adds a small assortment of flavorings depending on the flavor of moonshine he's trying to put together, then simmers it all day to reduce it. Then he just adds a bottle of 190-proof grain alcohol because gently caress it. At least the real thing gets brewed.

That's not moonshine that's dumping flavors into Everclear. He's making a mixed drink.

Oh yeah no, the stuff is terrible. Literally the only thing it has going for it compared to actual moonshine, let alone real drinkable booze, is that it won't make you blind.
