Default Hill Billy, Red Neck Canadian style

Hey Gene, here it is, finally got the little guy finished, he's 6 inches tall. Thank you so much Gene, I've been floundering around for three months and with the aid of your little fella tutorials I'm off and running. Being an old man, it takes a while for things to sink in, thank God, I'm finally off and running (only to improve). Happy New Year to all.
Cliff

Cliff, he is funny! I chuckled at the mustache, really out loud sitting at my computer.

A Canadian Red Neck... perfect!

Cliff,
Really well done sir. Redneck Canadains check this out.


Unfortunately this is so funny because it is true!




Forget Rednecks, here is what Jeff Foxworthy has
to say about Canucks
If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September
through May, you
may live in Canada.

If someone in a Home Depot store offers you
assistance and they don't
work there, you may live in Canada.

If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same
time, you may live in
Canada
If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation
with someone who dialed
a wrong number, you may live in Canada

If "Vacation" means going anywhere south of Muncie
for the weekend,
you may live in Canada.

If you measure distance in hours, you may live in
Canada

If you know several people who have hit a deer
more than once, you may
live in Canada

If you have switched from "heat" to "A/C" in the
same day and back
again, you may live in Canada

If you can drive 90 kms/hr through 2 feet of snow
during a raging
blizzard without flinching, you may live in Canada

If you install security lights on your house and
garage, but leave
both unlocked, you may live in Canada

If you carry jumpers in your car and your wife
knows how to use them,
you may live in Canada

If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit
over a snowsuit, you
may live in Canada

If the speed limit on the highway is 80km --
you're going 90 and
everybody is passing you, you may live in Canada

If driving is better in the winter because the
potholes are filled
with snow, you may live in Canada

If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter,
still winter and
road construction, you may live in Canada

If you have more miles on your snow blower than
your car, you may live
in Canada.

If you find 2 degrees "a little chilly", you may
live in Canada

If you actually understand these jokes, and
forward them to all your
Canadian friends & others, you definitely live in
Canada

When I first read these I thought they were so funny but then realized that they all pertain to me it the absolute truth.
Colin

Hey Colin, Jeff happens to be my new best friend and if he says it, then it must be true. By the way, the carving I showed is meant to be a self portrait, I'm just off a little bit. Nice to hear from you.

Well done Cliff. You did a great job. I'll try to give one of Gene's little fellows a try. The main reason I haven't is I don't know if I could come up with as nice a result as yours and the others.. Tom H
