July 16, 2007: Bellyflop 2007

It's Neatorama Collaboration Monday!



"They happened," says jinx of the 2007 Summer Redneck Games, which gave us several previous IotDs of a bellyflop contest in which the diver lands in a pit of mud.



Apparently they have several hawt chix in confederate flag bikinis to help divers regain their footing.

A fine development, there's a fine gallery at the official summer games website, which features less of the game itself, and more of the aftermath:



Be sure to visit our friends at Neatorama for more neato items all the time!

Hey, I like dirty girls.

I wish they'd ban the confederate flag, just like the Nazi salute is banned in Germany. My opinion.

I suppose the girls are there to ensure the South shall rise again (in more ways than one).

No, no banning.

I do wish they'd voluntarily stop using it, though.

I especially wish they'd remove those particular flags.

Ya know, that first picture looks like Jinx.

I like that the hawt girl is all muddy, but, damn it, she kept her ciggy clean.

I think redneck dude is going to grab her ass. Let's watch and see.

You know, when a girl can retrieve the potbellied redneck from the mud hole, without putting down her cigarette...now that's a REAL lady...And yes, I AM a pot bellied redneck. Y'all.

Hell, that's easy, she just crooks her finger and calls him out of the puddle.
Silvia...
Yes Mickey?
How do you call your potbellied redneck?
Come 'ere loverboy!!
And if he doesnt answer?
Ohh loverboy!
And if he STILL doesnt answer?
I simply say
Baby,
Oohh baby
My sweet baby
You're the one

Too bad we can't get our confederate flag decision from South Park.

This........







to this......

While you're at it why not ban Mexican flags and Puerto Rican flags and Canadian flags and Scottish flags and all those little flags people put on their cars.... Oh, don't forget all those subversive Grateful Dead stickers.

Throw in, "Remember Pearl Harbor" stickers, those marijuana leaves and those damn yellow ribbons. And the flying spaghetti monster must go.
We can all pretend we're Amish.

I'm offended by those Malcolm X shirts that were popular a few years ago, did I complain, no, I didn't. As for me personally, the "Confederate Flag" is a way of tying into my ancestors who fought in the Civil War (on both sides). How about this: You wear your 'X', I'll wear mine, and we'll respect each other's point of view...Nah, that'll never work...

Yeah I'd ban the confederate flag because well, I don't think it's a very good symbol of America. I mean the Nazi's didn't keep the Swastika on retail shelves as T shirts.
Those other emblems don't represent hate and the currently popular word of intolerance. I'd gladly ban it but I'll never be president. But I'm just a north state Yankee I guess.

But none of those come even close to the slavery. There is a difference between being offended about Christmas lights and being offended about a symbol (supposedly) of one of the worst human rights crimes in history.

That's the god damn point. It's only a symbol of slavery to those that are offended, nobody else. It's only a symbol of slavery to those that choose to make it so. It's their problem.... and one of their own making.

Bruce do you think it represents slavery? Just wondering. If not, then what does it represent.

For the record, it wasn't "one of the worst human rights crimes in history" it was about par for the course, that is to say: atrocious, mind-numbing, and unforgivable. Yet, more or less typical of human behavior. Africans enslaved Africans, Native Americans enslaved Native Americans, etc. etc.

I'd look to Christopher Columbus, and the native Arawak people of Haiti, as one quick example of a more shocking human rights crime.

The Stars and Bars, the Rebel Flag, represents different things to different people. As for what it represents, in an accurate historical sense, almost nothing about the history of this country is dealt with in an honset, scholarly way. We basically assign meanings to historical events and symbols based on what our current political beliefs are. The past is rewritten on a regular basis, to suit our short-term purposes.

The rebel flag is NOT a symbol of slavery , it was a flag when slavery Was , it was a flag of folks that didn't like they way things were going and desided to do something about it , they lost , but they still exist ( or their ansesters still exist ) , every body dissagrees about something , Black , White , Brown , Tan , Yellow , etc,,,, ( if these are the correct term now a days , if I ain't being to UN PC ! )
I beleve the saying goes if you forget history you are doomed to relive it ,
Fucking skin heads are RAMPENT in germany now a days , Hows THAT for swasticas !!!
The French Hate every body that ain't french , But no body cares , we could take them with a can of lighter fluid and a Zipo lighter !!!
the Chinese Hate the Koreans , etc,,,,,,
In other countrys folks are cutting the heads off of other folks Just because they are from another country , or are another religion !!

so SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT BANNING THE REBEL FLAG !!!!!!

There is a feeling of Southern Pride, which is independent of the more inflammatory aspects of the...
...hey I just did a Google search for "euphemisms + Civil War" and I found this:

No, slavery was not a footnote. Slavery was one of the primary political issues of the day. A state couldn't join the Union if there wasn't another state with the opposite stance on slavery available to join at the same time. There were massacres in Kansas to decide whether it would be a slave state or a free state.

Slavery wasn't the only issue, but it is just as silly to pretend it wasn't a major one.

They didn't fire on Ft Sumter to protect slavery. The majority of the northern politicians were moderates that wanted to see the spread of slavery stemmed, but were willing to accept a 50/50 split on new states. The handful of abolitionists didn't have the power to put an end to slavery in all the new states, let alone the south.

Slavery wasn't a prime cause for the civil war? Ay chihauhau. That in itself should be a new thread, and it probably already has been.

Also zippy it's just my opinion to ban the flag, that's all. I didn't mean to get anyone riled up.
edit: better yet, I didn't intend to get anyone riled up. But like Bruce said, everyone's offended by something. In my case its the confederate flag and I would like to see it banned. In zippy's case it's my opinion on the confederate flag being banned.

I personally don't want to ban the flag even though I don't agree with the heavy use it has today. It is not a government's job to ban symbols.

This thread took a wrong turn somewhere. I thought it was about some girl with nice, muddy tits.

Just trying to get the coverings off those nice muddy tits.

Especially when it brews up racism, hate, intolerance and violence which are such unsophisticated problems in society.

Just an observation .....

The attitude from anyone.... "I don't like it, therefore it should be banned".... is just another example of why our overly political correct country is going to hell in a hurry. Just who the hell are you to determine what should be banned? Your imaginary personal feelings are more important than the history of our country?

The Confederate Flag ~
Over time the flag has acquired a wide range of meanings, some apparently contradicting others. Since the C.S.A. were fighting for independence during the American Civil War, much as the United States did during the U.S. War of Independence, the Confederate flag has always had connotations of rebellion, patriotism, self-determination, dissent, freedom, and liberty.

The flag traditionally represented the South's resistance to Northern political dominance.

It only became racially charged during the Civil Rights Movement, when fighting against desegregation suddenly became the focal point of that resistance.

These same people want to ban books they don't like, movies, music et cetera...The world should only be as they see it in their narrow minded, perfectly controlled world.

Michael Yon today

Since this thread took a wrong turn somewhere anyway, lets quit beating around the bush and spit out that wee stone.

In the beginning someone said “ban”, “Germany” and “opinion” in one sentence, the contradictory word they forgot to use was “free”. Being so we look forward not backward. The Stars and Bars was the official Confederate flag and it doesn’t mean anything more or less. Now it is a banner and it or the “rebel” battle flag can wave wherever it’s wanted, just not as high as our counties flag. Unless of course you show it disrespect, and we have a history of killing people who disrespect our flag.

We are an inherently free people, all people; and someday we will be that way, an inch at a time. No government, King or legislature gave us that freedom, and we didn’t win it in the Revolution. It is “self-evident” that we are “endowed” by the “laws of nature” as inherently free.

The Civil War was about principals, and the power to control them. The agricultural South was slowly dieing and loosing power, states, votes, electoral votes. The North, politically divided, still elected Lincoln over the South. Most Southern States could not muster enough individual votes to secede, but politically overrode the popular vote with their legislature. Kentucky and Maryland, although Southern could not muster enough support to secede. Much of Tennessee and other “Southern states” were lost because there just wasn’t enough rebellious support to hold on. Slavery was just an outside issue that turned on political control. Yes it was “states rights”, as opposed to “individual rights”, and our Constitution did give our Government the right to preserve those individual rights from all comers, including states.

Call it hat you will, slavery was part of that desire to have control over others, that is slowly lost it’s grip on humanity, again an inch at a time. To “ban” this or that is another effort to control others.

So then which is most important, individual rights or a minorities feelings?, even a Majorities feelings?

You know my vote.

Speaking of minorities, I’m a Nordic WASP, damn small minority these days, few and far between, but do you hear me complain? That’s not “white” cause I’m not white, and it’s not Caucasian, cause my genetic chain has never been anywhere near Caucasia.

Mostly I just want to be belly up at the bottom of that mud hole.

Next book please?

This is a very interesting thread. I am curious, how many in this discussion are native southerners?

I do realize the discussion is more about history and freedom, but I am am just curious.

I don't think vBulletin has a filter to keep them out.

American by birth ,
Southern by the grace of GOD !!!

You know what they say FNC ,
"Opinions are like Assholes ,
Everybody has one and they ALL STINK !!!"

Think I'll just keep my to myself. Thank you

If slavery was the primary issue, more free slaves would not have fought for the south and Europe would not have backed the South.

If you want to ban things go ahead and wear a swastika t-shirt, be sure not to ban that.

on the first picture.. it looks like it is going to hurt!

Welcome to the Cellar, Anada.
When they interviewed the 17 year old from PA, after he got his trophy, he said, "...it still stings a little".

Funny how this thread drifted. You'll get your ass kicked by some down here if you try to screw with the flag. It has become a symbol for them of attempts at political correctness and attempts to re-write history through the eradication of all symbols confederate in the South by blacks and white apologists.

The redneck games took place about an hour and a half drive from here. They have some other weird festivals down here. The Rattlesnake Round-up, Laurel and Hardy Days, Peanut Fest, Vidalia Onion Fest and some others.

All in your area...hmmmm.
