You know you live in the middle of Bumfuck when...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

you see two women clomping down the street on horses.

Yep, just happened.

[Haole Girl]

1. *sigh*

I give up.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

2. I doubt they were rednecks though.

The rednecks live further north in town.

[LostinVA]

23. I live smack-dab in the middle of rednecks

Most of them have boats and guns.

Damn.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

25. Fuck you.

On edit: Mods, this is not a personal attack. This is a joking "fuck you" between friends.

[LostinVA]

27. Okay, when?

I have lots of annual leave.

I betcha your post will be deleted!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

28. Whenever.

I edited my post.

:rofl:

[LostinVA]

36. hehehehehe

I saw the edit.

Maybe I cxn come up and go shopping in the City... would you take me to The Strand Bookstore, snookums??? Then you can take me back to NJ and we can not snuggle with scented candles.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

37. Sure I'd take you to the Strand bookstore.

I prefer that we not snuggle with scented candles in a NYC hotel room though.

[LostinVA]

38. I see I'm not allowed in NJ -- FINE

I would looooooooove to go to the Strand. See? I'll make it to NYC for the first time in 20+ years, and that's what I want to do....

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

39. I've actually never been to the Strand bookstore.

[LostinVA]

40. *Thud*

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

42. But I have a four-day pass to the Dodge Poetry Festival this week.

Does that even it out?

[LostinVA]

44. Yes -- forgiven!

Interesting aside: some friends who are also librarian types came over for dinner last night, and a debate ended with us going onto the online OED to settle an argument... we are such geeks. And, I was right.

(It had to do with the word "redneck" -- I swear to God!)

[SammyWinstonJack]

43. Sounds a lot like parts of Texas.

[idgiehkt]

48. my ex always

like to tell the story about buying jalapeno peppers from guy in Sylva NC (the ex was born in San Fran and lived in England for a while) and when he asked for them the guy looked at him and said "they're called 'ja-LOP-pin-nos' son, but that's okay, I can't pronounce it either". He used to crack himself up all the time telling that story.

[skygazer]

3. I'm not sure where Bumfuck is

But I live in Silicon Valley and I see people riding horses down the street pretty regularly. Seems a strange criterion for whatever it is you're articulating.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

8. Bumfuck=middle of nowhere

[Moochy]

4. Is Bumfuck near Bumfight?

That place where they film those Bums Gone Wild videos, the homeless people fighting?

:yoiks:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

9. No.

We don't have bums here. The cops put them on trains heading out of town.

[FoxOnTheRun]

5. But gas prices are down now

[NewWaveChick1981]

6. Well, around here, you usually see FReepermobiles in East

Bumfuck. :P You see people riding horses in Bumfuck Proper. :rofl: :hi:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

7. We have the FReepermobiles in West Bumfuck.

That's where the military base is.

[TimeChaser]

10. I'd prefer riding a horse to driving a Hummer any day

:D

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

12. I don't like horses or Hummers.

:shrug:

[Miss Marmelstein]

16. Obviously.....

you've never had a proper hummer! :blush:

:bounce: :bounce:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

17. Well, I'm female but the proper answer to that...

would still end up getting this thread locked or my post deleted.

[Kat45]

11. I only know East Bumfuck.

Never been to Bumfuck itself.

[REDKING]

13. Bumfuck...good one

I will use that later...excellent:+

[NC_Nurse]

14. Isn't bumfuck short for

bumfuck egypt? or BFE as we at my house call it...

[Miss Marmelstein]

15. We must live in South Bumfuck....

where a young lady drove past me with a baby cradled in one arm
and talking on a cell phone with the other. I guess she was
driving with her knees?

The car behind her had both the front windshield and rear window removed....cheap air-conditioning?

I love living in South Bumfuck, Mexico!

:bounce::bounce:

[BrotherBuzz]

18. You know you're in Bumfuck when the local tavern has a hitching post...

with a nice string of saddled ponies tied up. Weather permitting, it's a daily occurrence in my neck of the woods.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

19. We don't have that...thank God.

The closest we get is the local deli tends to have an even number of cars and ATVs in the parking lot on weekends.

[doc03]

20. Hey we have "Buggy parking only clean up after

your horses" spaces at the Kroger store.

[LostinVA]

24. Amish?

[doc03]

31. Yep we used to drive about 1 1/2 hours to

get to Amish country which was basically Holmes county few years ago. They have 8 or 10 kids and they all have to have their own farm and apparently they are the only people that can afford to buy one today, so they are slowly taking over all of eastern Ohio.

[LostinVA]

41. I grew up around 90 minutes/2 hours from Lancaster, PA

We went there alot with school trips and family trips.

[Telly Savalas]

21. We get that occasionally in Toronto.

However the women are always police officers.

[Xipe Totec]

22. Where they saddled of bareback?

roped, or bridled?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

26. Saddled and bridled.

It's actually very upper-middle class here, just in the middle of the fucking woods.

[petronius]

29. I thought that said "chomping down on horses in the street"

:crazy:

I've been looking at this monitor too long, today...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

30. I've seen a lot of weird shit around here (we have some WeirdNJ notoriety)

but nothing that weird...thank God.

[Random_Australian]

32. What's so weird about that?

[bridgit]

35. maybe they're lesbian horses...

:shrug: :rofl:

[Random_Australian]

47. Nice one! Good to see you again, bridgit.

How are you? :)

[bridgit]

49. doing well, friend, doing just fine...

here's me hoping the same for you :hi: :hug: :kick:

[Random_Australian]

50. Thanks! I'm on vacation right now so I am feeling great. :)

Thanks for the hüg, backatcha! :hug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

51. Well, I did have incestuous lesbian hamsters for awhile...

:rofl:

[Guy Fawkes]

33. Happens in the city, too.

Draft horses... they're like crazy organic Hummers.

[bridgit]

34. eh bullshit, they clip-clop horses down the street outside my place...

on the way to old town everyday, and i live 1.5 blocks from the capitol :rofl:

[driver8]

45. Chomping down on hoes in the street?

I'll take your word for it, but I don't see what that has to do with where you live.

[lost-in-nj]

46. HEY

I have a horse....
but I wouldn't ride him down the road in Rockaway!!!!

:rofl:
