Merry Christmas!
Slow down and appreciate the reason for the season.
Pray for our troops.
Most networks have 5 ex-jocks and/or ex-coaches in the studio for NFL broadcasts. Most of them add nothing of value and are not even entertaining. Get rid of them!

<li>Merry Christmas!</li>
<li>Slow down and appreciate the reason for the season.</li>
<li>Pray for our troops.</li>
<li>Most networks have 5 ex-jocks and/or ex-coaches in the studio for NFL broadcasts. Most of them add nothing of value and are not even entertaining. Get rid of them!</li>
<li>How do you steal $50 billion in a ponzi scheme that lasted for years and years? The SEC must have overseers that are as blind as SEC refs.</li>
<li>How do you steal $50 billion and only get home detention? A normal person would be under the jail.</li>
<li>Of course the largest ponzi scheme ever known to man is call the Social Security System.</li>
<li>We bailed out the entire financial, mortgage, and banking industries and people still cannot get credit? What good did that do? Can anyone tell me where all that money went?</li>
<li>Hey Charles Barkley. Syracuse interviewed Turner Gill first and then hired another coach before Auburn did. Why are they not racist? Auburn didn’t deserve him. He is too good a person and coaches for the right reason.</li>
<li>Ever notice that restaurant and store employees park right next to the front door so that their customers have to walk a long way. Back in the day that didn’t happen, but back in the day there was a thing called customer service.</li>
<li>Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Christ, but it was His death that really saved us. He took all of our debts to the cross with him and gave us the ultimate bailout. Thank you, Jesus!!</li>

<h2>You Can’t Make This Stuff Up</h2>
<blockquote><p><strong>Nagging wife, sausage help man win $4.2M lottery </strong><br />
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) &#8212; A &#8220;nagging&#8221; wife who pushed her husband to buy a lottery ticket helped scoop the $4.2 million ($7.7 million New Zealand dollar) first prize &#8211; with only minutes to spare. The man from New Zealand&#8217;s biggest city, Auckland, bought his ticket just two minutes before ticket sales closed Saturday night.</p>
<p>&#8220;My wife had been nagging me all week to get a ticket, so I when saw the Lotto sign &#8230; I sprinted in to get the ticket before they closed,&#8221; said the man, who asked not to be identified &#8211; normal practice among lottery winners in New Zealand .</p>
<p>&#8220;I must have been their last customer of the night,&#8221; he said, adding that the young married couple had had a &#8220;rough&#8221; couple of years, reduced to one income after having children.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have never been so glad to listen to my wife&#8217;s nagging,&#8221; the man said Tuesday.</p>
<p>He discovered their newly won fortune Sunday thanks to his wife&#8217;s request for a barbecued sausage.</p>
<p>Out shopping for bargains, the man said he didn&#8217;t have enough money to buy his wife the sausage she&#8217;d asked him for. So he decided to check his Saturday lottery ticket in case he&#8217;d won a small prize.</p>
<p>&#8220;I could not believe it when they said I was actually the big winner,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>When he showed the printout to his wife, she initially thought they had won $4,200 (NZ$7,700).</p>
<p>&#8220;When she realized how much it really was, she fell to the floor, and then said: &#8216;but all I wanted was a sausage.&#8217;&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>I guess nagging wives are good for something………………Not that Mrs. Redneck is a nagger. No way!!</strong></p>

<h2>Racin’</h2>
<p>Mrs. Redneck thinks that I am nuts, but I found the ’96 Michigan race on some sports network and I watched the whole race. It was cool seeing the old cars, drivers, and sponsors. And it helped the withdrawal symptoms too!</p>

<h2>Ain’t True</h2>
<blockquote><p><strong>Actor cuts his own throat in scene after fake knife replaced</strong><br />
Imagine watching an actor on stage performing a suicide scene, only to have the fake knife turn out to be a real one and the blood you see squirting from his neck is real, too.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s what happened in Vienna, Austria, recently to actor Daniel Hoevels who cut his own throat with what was supposed to be a blunt stage knife. It wasn&#8217;t. Police say somehow the fake knife was replaced with a real one and Hoevels, his neck slashed and bleeding, was taken to a hospital.</p>
<p>It all happened in front of a thrilled audience that didn&#8217;t know what they were watching was real.</p>
<p>Police are investigating whether the switch was intentional. Could another actor have taken jealousy to an almost murderous pitch?</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Ain’t true that acting bidness is that cut throat ……………….</strong></p>

<h2>Redneck Education Tip of the Week: Poetry</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>A NASCAR CHRISTMAS…</strong></p>
<p>I’m not sure who wrote this, it is rather dated.<br />
But I thought I’d still share since it’s Nascar related.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Twas the Race before Christmas and all through the track<br />
Each driver was ready to make his attack.<br />
The tires had been stacked by the pit crew with care<br />
With hopes none of them would run out of air.</em><em><br />
The drivers were belted all snug in their seats<br />
Where visions of checkered flags looked mighty sweet.</p>
<p>When out of the infield there rose such a clatter<br />
The crowd sprang to their feet to see what was the matter.<br />
What sight met their wondering eyes as they rose<br />
Twas Mike Wallace punching somebody’s nose.</p>
<p>With eyes like the eagles the spotters they came<br />
And they turned on their headsets and called them by name<br />
“On Spencer! On Petty! On Rudd and Jarrett! &#8220;On Cope! On Speed! On Ward and Jeff Burton! At the top of the curve ran ’em into the wall!</p>
<p>More rapid than lightning the drivers they flew<br />
With a sack full of cash and the Winston Cup too.<br />
And then in a twinkling there came to the front<br />
The bright rainbow colors of Gordon’s DuPont.</p>
<p>Then Bobby Labonte flew by in a flash<br />
While Martin had a breakdown and Spencer a crash.<br />
Then all at once with a rush and a roar<br />
There came a new car they had not seen before.</p>
<p>From bumper to bumper it was painted all red<br />
North Pole Toy Co. was the sponsor they read.<br />
With a little old driver so lively and quick<br />
They all said at once, “Hey, this must be a trick!”</p>
<p>“A geezer like that shouldn’t be driving here!”<br />
“And why does his pit crew all have pointed ears?”<br />
The next scheduled pit stop went kinda slow<br />
For the old fellow stopped at each pit in the row.</p>
<p>He spent no time at all, but left gas and oil<br />
A new set of tires, new tools for their toil.<br />
He asked no endorsement, demanded no fee<br />
And left only coal for the black #3.</p>
<p>Childress got on the com and said “Hey Intimidator …<br />
Want to chew him up now, or save him for later?”<br />
Dale spoke not a word, but went straight to his work<br />
He gave him a nudge, then broadsided the jerk.</p>
<p>But the old guy escaped with a zig and a zag<br />
And crossed over the finish line, right at the flag.<br />
The old man drove straight up to victory lane<br />
Grabbed up the trophy and drank some champagne.</p>
<p>Thanked all his sponsors and took the cash too<br />
Stole a kiss from the trophy girl, and then off he flew<br />
As he sped out of sight, one last cry did they hear.<br />
“Merry Christmas to all, better luck next year!”</em></p>
