My Neck.....It isn't Red Is it?

Here is a list of the top fifteen events at the Ruskosky/Gray Fourth of July Celebration. I couldn't narrow it down to 10, there were too many

15. The competition included who could light off the most firecrackers/bottle rockets at the same time.

14. Another family game was who could kick start the 4 wheeler with the fewest attempts. The competition was riveting.

13. Off Flame throwers.

12. The boys demonstrating for Kelly that farts really do start on fire. And the boys having to continue performing the act because Matt and Brad kept missing it.

11. Sitting around the shop comparing farmer's tans......I lost!

10. Offering Betsy $150 to stick 2 bottle rockets up her nose and lighting them off. I think that she would have seriously considered it.

9. Hearing that Kelly's Uncle Tim confused the little black boy's fishing pole with something else. He even commented on the size of it. Note:Our little black boy is a little different than the one pictured.

8. Jerry scaring the shit out of Danny by throwing a firecracker at him.

7. Lighting smoke bombs making the little black boy look like he is peeing or farting. They also replaced his fishing pole with a bottle rocket.

6. Andy and Danny flying through the bush in the front yard while wrestling. Andy was caught administering an illegal choke hold. They weren't even drinking.

5. "Hey Betsy, did you hear Michael Jackson is in the hospital again?" "No Why?" "He got ahold of an eight year old wiener....." "I don't get it!!!"

4. The main argument of the evening was what year a series of tractors came out and how much horsepower one of them had.

3. Matt's drunkass falling over backwards in the lawnchair after telling Betsy not to do it. He got yelled at because he broke a new chair.

2. Hearing that Grandpa Gene said "Once you go black, you'll never go back."

1. Learning that no matter how awful it is to be labeled a redneck being labeled a hillbilly is even worse. Jerry's cousin Jim is a testament to that.
