Hat tip to my childhood sweetheart friend, David, who is not a Redneck but a Red Head.

I think the winning truck is a Ford.
Just sayin’
That’s only a fail from the loser’s PoV. The other guy is gonna have an awesome story to tell about his truck for the rest of time.
There can be only one!

This reminds me of a Boy Scout troop tug of war contest when I was a kid. It was the final event in an all-day competition with seven or eight troops. You had to start a fire without matches, send a message with Morse code, get your troop over an eight-foot wall, etc. Points were awarded and it came down to the two leading troops at the tug-o-war.
There were probably 15 kids on each side. The adult in charge couldn’t get them to stop pulling so he could get the center of the rope over the half-court line in the gym where this was taking place. So he finally got frustrated and had them give enough slack so he could put the center of the rope on the floor on the line and then he stood on the rope (about 2″ diameter) to hold it there. He started counting to “three” (I guess he planned to jump off at that point). The kids all gave a mighty heave on about “two” and this guy got launched about six feet in the air. He seemed to survive the event OK, but that was the highlight of the day for me.

Skinbad, I love folksy stories from the Utah outback like that. But someday, maybe you should turn off the TV and read a book. Just a thought.
Book? If it has hot rhino on rhino action I might consider it. I’m also waiting for the hostages to publish their new coffee table book: “Back-Fat Fridays and the Mystery of the Submerged Bra Straps.”
The hostages are never going to publish a book. I’m pretty sure that every one of them, when they read, their lips are moving.
Michael, how do you differentiate between IBers and Hostages?
How would you classify Laura, Dave, Lipstick and Pupster?
Ten bucks the driver on the right said, right before the pull, ‘hey y’all, watch this’
How would you classify Laura, Dave, Lipstick and Pupster?
Hmmm.
Probably somewhere in the middle there.

Who cares, just get us a room.
And by “us” I mean me, Laura and Lipstick.
Michael, how do you differentiate between IBers and Hostages?
IBers are noticeably much smarter, better informed, and funnier than Hostages.
How would you classify Laura, Dave, Lipstick and Pupster?
In my opinion, Laura, Lipstick and Pupster are IBers.
As a lurker at IB and H2: IB makes me feel dumb; H2 makes me feel “slow” on the humor meter.
Reminds me of the carnage i witnessed at 17 between a red-neck in a F350 4WD and a stoner in an AMC Pacer… it was a horrible, horrible site as that poor guy was dragged all around the parking lot hitting the yellow parking bumpers and curbs – and I felt so bad that I could not stop laughing. Poor stoner, if I remember right, we all felt so badly that we gave him some cash.
IBers are noticeably much smarter, better informed, and funnier than Hostages.
Not to mention better looking.
That’s true, Brewfan. I’ve met a bunch of the Hostages and IBers, and the IBers, on average, are obviously much better looking.
I’m not including Dave in this comparison.

nuh uh..
I was curious about what the Flag Counter would do when we hit 1M unique visitors from the U.S., in order to make the columns fit, because there’s not room for more than six digits and a comma.
Turns out, they just add an “M” and round off to the nearest 10K. Good software.
