*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.

This is far away from Texas, but sounds similar. The thing that freaked me out most were whole, dead animals tacked to trees. Haha, biohazard fun for all!

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 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.

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

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.

Nor do I hate on them. Those overly worried with material possessions and those possessing strong creepy vibes/pseudo macho vibes will be the subject of jest here though.

I don't understand really.
I just know how the south is.
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.

Because if so... yeeeeeesh.
