'Texas Redneck Games' Organizers Face Angry Neighbors, Possible Charges

DALLAS — The way Bobby Williams tells it, his ranch on 100 acres of rural piney hills in East Texas was supposed to be a quiet way to enjoy retirement after a career in the insurance business.

But for years now, he's instead woken up to the roaring engines of all-terrain vehicles, midnight fireworks shows and thousands of drunken revelers who every so often gather across the narrow county road from his property at events like the "Texas Redneck Games" and the "Texas Redneck Muddy Gras."

"We're just a nice calm community and nobody can get any rest, nobody can get any sleep," says Williams, 76. "We've got a problem and I don't know what we're ever going to do to get rid of it. We need something to ban these things."

The latest event ended Sunday with more than 50 arrests and citations, and authorities said Wednesday that they're considering charges against the show's organizer.

[I still care]

It says that a work detail of inmates cleaned up the mess.

I won’t pass judgement on the games, but it seems to me if you are going to have an event you need to clean up after yourself instead of putting it on the county.

Another yuppie that moves into a community and wants to rewrite the rules.

Maybe not
“But for years now, he’s instead woken up to the roaring engines of all-terrain vehicles, midnight fireworks shows and thousands of drunken revelers”

4-PERSON TEAM BUTT-CRACK CONTEST- The same rules as butt-crack contest, but men and women will be able to be on the same team. We will allow no more than five teams for this event. Each team will be required to compete with all four members at the same time.

Nooooo....Do not want....

Another yuppie that moves into a community

At 76 years old he is the oldest yuppie I have ever heard of.

[Dead Corpse]

That'll happen when your neighbors property is a commercial ATV-RV park...

We’re infested with them here. Our neighbors are fighting a lawsuit over their oil well (they say it’s noisy), and down the road some of them are complaining about a cattle operation. (complaints about the manure smell)

Those are real sweethearts though compared to the ones whose teenagers bring their gangsta culture with them. Ug.
