JUMP! FOR MY LOVE. JUMP IN!
One magnificent thing about blogging is qualifying exactly how deranged the behavior of fans reveling in the name of sport truly can be. In a feat of redneck excess–department of redundant redundancy in the phrasing there, but humor us–a South Carolina fan meshes several different southern obsessions in a single, fluid motion, encompassing the disciplines of public drunkenness, professional wrestling, and college football foolishness in one move. There’s no sound, but in our own sideways tribute to the late, great June Pointer we present one Gamecocks fan truly jumping for his love. (Feel free to grab your copy of Neutron Dance and play it since the clip itself has no sound.)
Remember: when jumping off a van, a lifejacket is essential gear.

It’s typically told as:
“Hold my beer and watch this”
of course a true redneck would never hand off his beer just before popping a whellie in his airboat.

Reminds of the old joke: “What were the last words of the redneck? (pause…pause…) ‘Hey!!! Whas me do theeis?’”

Wrastlin’, Jake the Snake Roberts, Part II
If you stepped into the squared circle with Jake, you knew you were in for a hell of a fight. He had that icy look in his eyes that begged you to try to take him on.

In one notorious 1999 PPV show, Heroes of Wrestling, he cut a rambling, incoherent promo in which he heavily slurred his words. Minutes later, he staggered toward the ring, apparently drunk, for his scheduled match with Jim Neidhart. During the match, when his snake wriggled free from the bag, he waved the snake toward the audience while it was protruding from his crotch.

“He who imitates evil always goes beyond the example that is set. On the contrary, he who imitates good always falls a little bit short.”

Further proof that 9 out of 10 visits to the emergency room in the South begin with a six-pack and this statement: “Hey guys, watch this!!”

Moose,
How dare you insult Jake the Snake Roberts. Everyone knows he wasn’t a drunk. Jake was/is a crackhead.
