YouTube - Redneck picture show

 

Good morning all.

In case anyone missed it, you should check out the 'Rick's Weekend Project' thread.

We had a blast!!!

 

I was absorbed in getting a new laptop configured to my tastes, rearranging the desk to accomodate, etc.
I don't think I'll ever buy a desktop computer again. The laptops run circles around whatever I need for it to do and I can carry it with me when I need to go somewhere.
I even installed a copy of UT2004 on one of them, cranked every feature up on the detail and it didn't lag.
Devin, (oldest grandson) was drooling over it, his computer can only run the same game with everything turned down to the lowest setting.
But I am beyond that now, no interest in gaming anymore.
I use it for photography editing now and it does great at that.

 

Never heard of this game until now.
I am going to introduce it to the family next time we G2G.

 

LOL.
Here is another one that was linked when the first one finished.
YouTube - Redneck

 

Thanks for the laugh Ron. lol

 

I'd be a redneck for redneck limo 3!!!!

 

Yeah -- let us know, Pop!! I'm just a lil bit up the road from Arlington!! Maybe we could do a mini-G2G...

 

I guess I are/am a redneck too......here's my mailbox

 

ha ha thing is that ive done some of that on that lil video ha ha

 

Just went & read it all, Joe. Great job, and naturally, I'm jealous as hell!! I can't wait to fill a trash can with Miller Lites!!

 

That's what I used to drink a LOT of. Today the garbage man actually asked me where all the cans are going. I guess he had the huge amount of them he was getting every week figured into his household budget.

 

I enjoy it, however we play it a little differently than what that first website I sent.

We have portable washer boxes, not pits, that are quite a bit smaller than those pits. They are roughly 16" x 16" made of 2x4 with a plywood bottom and a PVC pipe in the center for the can (or cup at they called it). Our washers are probably 2" diameter or so, 3 washers per team, and we've painted them separate colors to help keep track of scoring. Here's a couple pics like the boxes that we typically use:






As for how we play it, that varies a bit from their rules as well. We typically play on grass and set the boxes roughly 20' apart. Two teams of two people each, one person from each team by each box, so you're across from your teammate.

Scoring works like this. 1 point = one washer in the box. 2 points = a washer balanced on the 2x4 edge of the box. 3 points = a washer in the can. Washers outside the box do not score any points, even if they're leaning on the box. We like to play to 15 and you must win by 2 points or more. I'll cover scoring a bit more after I explain how we play.

To actually play, the one person will start and toss all three of their washers (usually one at a time, but I've seen all 3 thrown at once) to the other end, toward the box, trying to score points. Leave those washers in place until the second person throws their turn. Then the other person, on the other team, but on the same end as the first person, they throw their turn. Order of who throws first is determined by whichever team scored the most points on the last toss. High scorse goes first. If it's a tie (we call it a push), you throw right after your teammate.

This is where it can start to get fun and stratgey can come into play...points can be cancelled by the other team. Boxes cancel each other out, and a can is able to cancel all boxes out if the other team doesn't have a can. Can's also cancel each other out. Confusing, maybe. Here's a few scenerios that may help to explain -- 1) Let's say the blue team goes first, and gets 2 in the box. Red team goes second and get's only 1 in the box. That cancells one of blue team's points, so blue only scores one point. 2) Blue scores 2 in the box, red get's only a single can. Red's single can cancels all of blue's box scores, so red scores 3 points. 3) Blue has 2 in the box, one in the can. Red has one can, one box. In this case, both cans cancel out and one of the boxes cancel out, so blue actually scores one point in this case. 4) Red and Blue both have a box and a can. Scoring is cancelled completely for that round, and it's called a push.

Washers should remain in place until both teams have gone. It can aid in scoring, but it can all add an element to the game. I've seen washers from the first team get bounced completely out of the box on the second team's throw...on the flip side, I've seen washers that were outside of the box get knocked into the box as well.

It's a fun game, I think. We have a few sets of washer boxes, and it seem like one of us almost always has a set in our trucks. If we ever get bored somewhere, we'll break out the washer boxes and start playing. It's easy enough to toss em on the ground and pick them up in a hurry. A couple years ago, Jeff and I were trying to leave a race one night when there was a big pileup that completely blocked the parking lot exit. We only sat there about 15 minutes until we realized nobody was moving, so out came the washer boxes. There we were, on the shoulder of the track's exit road, playing washers to pass the time.

I hope that helps to explain it a little on how we do it. If you have questions about it, let me know.

 

The boxes Travis had for it look alittle different, his had 3 holes in it. Here is a pic of what his look like.

 

Jeremy, had I Known that you played washers I would have broken out the set at Smokin. I have a set that travels with the camper.

BTW the clean cut mug shot makes you look more sophisticated, but we still know your just a good ol boy at heart.

Scott, the brats looked great, have a wonderful lunch today.
I smoked a whole boneless pork loin Sunday, and we had that for dinner last night and I am hearing a chop call my name now. Pork, potato salad, slaw, and beans, yeah its all good.
