Description Yes, I know it is blurry, but since Killian's mom has had people run after her with shotguns for taking pictures of houses that they are trying to sell through her, and since Kil and I have been driven after and screamed at for walking too close to "MAH PROPERTY!"...we didn't really want to slow down the car too much.

So, I grew up in northern and western parts of the US, and several other countries. I didn't live in the South until recently. I never understood why horror movies set in the remote areas of the South scared people. Alternatively, Killian has lived in the deep and poor areas of the South all of his life (and that's not knocking the dirt poor, Kil grew up in a laundry room on someone else's farm). He is incredibly freaked out by such films. After living here, so am I. This is a tame example of the things you run into.

The person is obviously a collector. A falling down wooden fence contains five trailers, and baskets, cages, assorted crap, random lights, etc. that are piled up all higher than the trailers and in them. There is a random banner that flies high and reads "Hospital Family Birth". No, I don't know what that means. This particular sign reads (in the original context mind you):

"NoTiS!
Trespassers Will B. Persecuted To The full EXTENT oF 2 MungrREL Dogs Which NEver WAS OVER SocHiBLE To STRAgERS & 1 duBBLE BrL. SHoT guN WHiCH ainT LodeD WiTH SODA PiLLERS. DAM iF I aiNT giTTEN TiRED OF THiS HELL RAiSiN ON MY PLACE"

So there you have it. 1ntRnet spe4k st4rtd B4 teh N3t!!!11!!


Ten points to whoever draws the best Hell Raisin.

*dies* I've driven through areas just like that in the Ok-Ark-La-Tex region, and we never stopped for anything...And people there definitely use their front yards as their billboards and soapboxes; one guy had a loooong rant (anti-government, paranoid, conspiracy theory sorta-stuff) painted on a huge sign that he kept in his front lawn year-round (he lived next to the road), but we never dared stop in front of his house long enough to actually read it all. XD

Haha, probably a good thing you didn't slow down to read. It definitely makes for some interesting, er, scenery though! My favorite are the dead squirrels nailed to trees, or the hand painted signs with rants so long that the owners have to nail more and more wood to them, and the letters get smaller and smaller to fit it all on. XD

ALL the south isn't that bad though. I grew up both in that type of thing and in Atlanta. But, I get a good laugh because they are either: a) Meth lab, or b) tired of tax/money collectors and survey people showing up at the door at mealtime or naptime. In the south I know, those -times do exist, lol. Meanwhile, hope you had fun ;]

So i'd say something about how offensive and stereotypical this is for south texas, but hell-i live here. And honestly, there are roads that i've been down that scare me senseless; my favorite of which includes a mobile home with busted out windows that was pushed into the woods to hide, a scarecrow in front of a trailer house in the middle of nowhere *in the woods as well* and most importantly, hand written road signs. Like...sharpie on cardboard nailed to trees. Haven't been down those particular roads, as i am scared i might become the victim of some hungry biohazard family.

Oh my word. Lol! My father-in-law was just telling me about this really nice house he passed years ago, Waaaaaay out in the boonies- it apparently was a large, nice house with a white fence. Oh, and headless dolls at tables in the yard.The heads were nailed to the fence. That was in Oklahoma, though-thank god.

Well I'm late to the party, but I thought I'd share.

Heh, there are some rather infamous people like that around here.
Next to my friend's grandparents place, just across and down the road a bit, there's this old couple who seem convinced that everything they see is their property. Along their fence line, there's a sign every 10 feet or so saying things like "Privit property" and the like. Oh, and "Bewar, bear traps" too. Yeah, they set up bear traps to keep trespassers off. And then, they've called the police or threatened to a number of times, or brandished a shotgun, when my friends and I were walking or fourwheeling on the public road by their house. For all that time I had been under the impression that one couldn't "own" a municipal road. And then there was the time they called the police because my friend's grandpa was building a woodshed "on their property." The best part: the woodshed was being built right off the side of the grandpa's house.

So yeah, crazy rednecks aren't exclusive to the South, or even the US.

Seriously? Huh, I thought that was a US phenomenon. XD

Man, that story sounds waaaayyyy too familiar. They didn't have (to my knowledge) bear traps in our area, just dead animals creepily tacked over the 'keep out' signs. Your crazy rednecks should come hang out with ours. Think of all the gun fights and hollerin' to be had!

What's fun about this sign is that it has such rustic redneck charm to it, I could see it being mass-produced and sold to be posted by people who just thought it was plain funny.
Heck, I used to have a sign that said Never Mind the Dog, Beware of Owner!

I am sooo glad we don't really have people like that in Vegas. :3 All we have is: worst drivers in the nation, meanest drivers in the nation, about the second worst education in the nation, and the most [i]recorded[/i] homicides in the nation. But seeing this sign kind of makes me second guess that... But hey, worst weather we get are flash floods.

Very interesting, didn't think people would really be like that. Please be careful at least.

I am so very close to Vegas now (living in Utah rather than Virginia), and I am sooooo much happier. I can actually...walk around outside with out being threatened. Sweet!

Between the rednecks and the DC suburbanites, people are freaking crazy out where we just moved from. I think if I stayed there much longer I'd have gone nuts myself.

Keep safe yourself! Used to live in Nevada and one of the people in my old class was recently murdered in Vegas. Granted, she was the type of person to be heavily involved in drugs, gangs, and other kinds of crime making her a prime target for homicide, but still. The only time I visited Vegas, I found baggies of drugs under my hotel pillow...so definitely there are safer places to be.

LOL Glad to know you won't be threatened for just existing. I just didn't think people were actually LIKE that. But I guess, the more you know. O.o

But thank you so much for the warning! It's really sweet of you. Luckily I live on the outskirts of the town, near the mountains. But I'm really sorry to hear that about your classmate. And my mom works in the hotel housekeeping industry. Hearing about that is unfortunately not surprising, as it happens A LOT. Sucks to hear you found THAT during your visit. X.x

Absolutely love it! We get to go hiking every day, and the wildlife is just amazing here. I'm a big fan of desert regions, especially where they keep the land protected but accessible to the public.

Yeah, it was an eye opener for me as well! I always thought it was just a stereotype, but apparently it is one that does exist. There were people worse than this guy, but at least he had an amusing sign.

I'm glad you aren't in the thick of things in Vegas. I'm sorry your mom has to deal with things like that! I hear that a lot of nasty stuff can go on in hotels, and I hope your mom works at a safe hotel.

Seriously, all I ask for is a mint on my pillow, I can do without the drugs. XD

Really? Wooow that sounds awesome. And I completely agree with the preservation of the land. We went to Zion not too long ago, and one of my faaavooorite places that I've gone to to hike in is the river at the end of Zion that you can literally walk in. I got soaked to my neck! I really love it there.

Yeah true xD But Jeeeez. You're telling ME to be careful? With what you've said about where you used to live, I'm glad you guys are finally in a more safe place to live. O.o Yeah, a lot of bad things tend to happen. But it's mostly kept really low key, they do an excellent job of weeding out the problem before it gets out of hand. x3 My mom's a tough cookie, so I know she can handle it. Thank you for your concern.

LMAO.

Don't hate on the southren people.
I'm from the south.
Yes, there is allot of strange people down here, but most of them are extremely mean. This person that probably wrote this isn't retarded, and probably know way more about like than anyone else, but just not know how to write too well.
No horror movies scare me about the south. I love the south. People down here are meaner, but think about it, us southreners had slaves and all. What do you expect? The women are normally really polite, but others are old mean ass whores.
If you find any of the back woods people (Seems like you have) And actually listened to the adults and got drunk with them and everything, you'll learn so much stuff it's unbelievable.


I read this one sign before:
"NO TRESPASSING"
"Beware of watch dog."
"I will not be held reliable for any damage done from the dogs."

Another one says,
"WARNING! Trespassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again."

xD
And most beware of watch dogs signs, you better listen. There is loads of pits and white englishs that will rip you to shreds on the owner's command. Why? Because they don't want their property messed with, and they are just that damn mean.

My boyfrien'd family is that way. I love em to death.

They are to a point of being crazy because of how mean they are. Instead of calling the law(Which does nothing) They rather take justice into their own hands. And they don't want people they don't know plundering and snooping through their stuff. My mom is crazy like that.
