It's really interesting that so many cultures have the same or equivalent stereotypes. When I had the chance to go to Italy, I made some friends who were trying to explain to me some of their stereotypes. So funny. That’s funny.

The <em>redneck</em> is so funny because it reminds me on a joke told by my English teacher, which went something like: "A psychology teacher started the subject about a dreams of having a sex with a ghosts. He wondered if anyone from the classroom had some experience regarding the subject: - Has anyone ever had a dream about having a sex with a ghost? - he asked. A redneck student from behind raised his hand and said: - Yea, Mr. Teacher, I had it! - Oh, great! Come here and share it with the rest of us - teacher replied. A little bit insecurely and shrugging all the way down, the redneck student approached the teacher's table. - So, you had a dream about having a sex with a ghost, young man? - the teacher asked... The redneck looked at the teacher, eyes wide open, left in disbelief: - Ghost?!! I thought you said goat!!!" It’s “seljačina” [selyacheena] in Croatian, which is metaphor derived from “seljak” [selyack], which literally translated is a person who lives in a village (“selo” in Croatian), but its’ true meaning is a farmer (in occupational sense).

Every web developer wants to come up with a great idea for a web app...not every web developer wants to spend their time digging holes in the ground though. :) Excellent idea Ryan! I'm up for any solution to a problem that involves explosions. <a href="http://blogs.acceleration.net/birdman/" rel="nofollow">The Birdman</a> recommended that I rent one of those big <a href="http://www.outdoorlife.com/outdoor/diy/article/0,19912,780983,00.html" rel="nofollow">stump grinder things</a> to get the rest of the stumps out of the yard. I personally think I'd rather go the redneck route: <ol><li>Get a 55 gallon drum and remove the top and bottom.</li><li>Make a small hole near the bottom of the drum to allow air in.</li><li>Place drum over stump, insert kindling, and light.</li><li>Cook dinner over burning stump stove</li><li>Repeat until all stumps in yard are gone, or until you've been issued a cease and desist order from the local fire department.</li></ol> Yea, and I envy you too Marko.

Excellent idea Ryan! I’m up for any solution to a problem that involves explosions. The Birdman recommended that I rent one of those big stump grinder things to get the rest of the stumps out of the yard. I personally think I’d rather go the redneck route:

  1. Get a 55 gallon drum and remove the top and bottom.
  2. Make a small hole near the bottom of the drum to allow air in.
  3. Place drum over stump, insert kindling, and light.
  4. Cook dinner over burning stump stove
  5. Repeat until all stumps in yard are gone, or until you’ve been issued a cease and desist order from the local fire department.
