John, rednecks do trick or treat from pickup trucks---but those clowns that showed up don't really qualify! I grew up a redneck, partying with rednecks in the San Juoaquin Valley of California. I also lived for eight years just about an hour north of Cincinnati. Real rednecks know how to have fun on Halloween night. Haunted orange groves, or haunted barns---either way you're likely to have some guy running around with a live, running chain saw (don't worry, there's no chain on it).

Heck, one year some buds and I put on a little exhibition where we were sawing limbs off with blood bags concealed under the clothes---while the guy was alive and screaming! We had somewhere around a dozen folks hit the dirt on that one! Then there was the night we hung a dummy from the town water tower. And in high school, we'd be trick or treating from the backs of pickup trucks, which were also loaded down with water ballons. There was a running water ballon fight among kids in three counties from the backs of pickup trucks. And, before all the Halloween fun began (or sometimes after) there'd be a bonfire and weanie roast down in a dry wash in the middle of nowhere.

Nah, yankees don't have anything on real redenecks when it comes to a little fun.....

Fair enough; sounds like you hung out in a fun crowd.. It was just funny to me because I swear that everyone who came out of the bed of that truck looked like Ope from Andy Griffith!

It was unique!
