Duck Pond Redneckery


In addition to awesome garlic summer sausage, Menard's has polyethylene sheets.

All the "boat people" say I needed "marine grade plywood" and $100 worth of fiberglass resin and a ton of elbow grease and itchy shit sticking to my sweaty skin.

F* all that.

Plastic.

Bam. Done. Going fishing this weekend.

Polyethylene is what they make car gas tanks and kayaks out of.
Immune to ultraviolet. Immune to water and moisture. Immune to chemical spills.

And 3M makes a glue that'll stick to it if I decide to put carpet on it.

Shag!
 
I don't think there's anyone out there who didn't experience booger green shag carpeting at some point growing up 🤢🤮😄
I've actually never seen booger green carpet before. Just cars and appliances.

Lots and lots of cars were booger green in the 60's or 70's. What in the hell were they thinking?

But what can possibly be worse than the 70's hippy earth tones but the boring, soulless shades of gray and dark drab colors that today's cars are painted.. :mad:
 
Actually the carpet in my grandma's house was booger green if you rubbed it in one direction and a darker pine tree green if you rubbed it the other direction. That was weird.

Vacuuming the carpet left lines in it. And walking across it left footprints.

I'm sorry, you were deprived!! Maybe it was just in the town I grew up in not far from here. We had that shitty green shag carpet before my dad built an addition on our house, neighbors had it too, either on the floors or the walls somewhere in their house. Maybe there was a special on it back then, or some carpet salesman roamed the neighborhood selling it as the next new trend. 🤔

Yep!! And the high traffic areas of it wore horribly like old civil war bodies were dragged across it or something.. lol 😆💣

My parents house had orange shag carpet. Two different shades of orange. It was gross.

Then in like 1994 my sister hooked up with some "rich" boyfriend whose parents had a "normal" house with "normal" carpet and she was too embarrassed to have him over so my parents ripped it up and replaced it with boring gray carpet. :thumbsup:
