I just finished watching Jerry Springer and now thinking about my family back in Tx. My cousins are some of the craziest guys I have ever met. My older cousin, Anthony, has this Chevy 4x4 pu. It is a 3/4 long bed regular cab. His wife just had another kid, his 2nd her 4th. Well he needs a bigger truck now so he finds a 4x2 crew cab that had no powertrain in it. While he was in the junkyard he found four 44 inch tires and gets them too. Since he has the tires a 4x4 is a must. So out comes his torches and tools. He takes the cab off of his 4x4 and put the 4 door cab on. Now the bed is to long so he cuts 4 or 5 feet off of it and puts it back on. Now he rips out his chainlink fence so he can make a body lift for the tires. No kidding here but his lift is atleast nine inches of fence post welded to the frame. I wish I had a picture of this thing, it was butt ugly.
His yonger brother, Rodney, is worse. His friends and him was watching something on tv and got an ideal. They take a plasic milk jug and put about an inch of gun powder in the bottom of it. They then get a blasting cap and put it in the gun powder, and filled up rest of the jug with pebbles. The top had the wires from the blasting caps sticking out and hooked up to a spool of speaker wire, then they put the lid on and melted wax all over it.
Now they are ready to do some fishing. They call Anthony to come fishing with them, Anthony never passes up a chance to fishing. So he meets them at the river. Anthony comes walking up with his fishing pole and tackle. He sees Rodney and about 20 other people there at the river, and no one has a pole. He walks up to Rodney still not knowing what was planned. Rodney tells Anthony there plan and that they would be eating fish for a month after this. Anthoney thinks Rodney is just kidding and sticks around to watch. Well Rodney throws the bomb into the water where it started to sink. Now this is in the summertime in South Texas, Victoria. There was not must water in that river at the time, and the lid of the jug was sticking out of the river. Rodney walks back to his truck unrolling his speaker wire and raises the hood on his truck.
You can picture these 20 something guys standing on the side of this river that isn't no more than 15 feet across. Well Anthony decides he has seen enough and starts to leave. Rodney stops him asking where are you going? Anthony tells him he is going to go on and call 911 and get the ambulances started in the direction. Well, Anthony manage to talk Rodney out of it saying if that thing does blow up, all those little rocks are going to be flying like a shotgun pellets.
I don't know what would have happened if that thing did go off. It would still be talked about to this day in Victoria, Tx. I could go on and on about my family with stories like this. Do any of you have crazy rednecks running loose? I have to watch Jerry Springer just so I feel like my family is not to bad.
