Montana Goes Nuts!

Montana Goes Nuts! The Rock Creek Lodge, outside Clinton, Montana, invites you for a four-day celebration of Pabst, prairie fries, and... well... pud: "Have a Ball at the Testicle Festival!" [via Blowfish.com's newsletter, 1st page = SFW].

Anyone here been to a "hicks-gone-wild" type of event? I've heard of backwoods "show us your tits" type festivals before, and I would tend to generalize them as isolated outbursts of the repressed (and very sexist toward women). This one seems to have a slightly different... um... bent.

You know any event that prominently features "Welcome Hustler magazine" on its site is going to be chock-full of rednecky goodness.

Reggae-on-the-River in Northern California is an archetypal "hicks-gone-wild", "backwoods show-us-your-tits" festival. I have heard some complaints about sexism in that subculture, but I don't think they'll be welcoming Hustler nor Maxim anytime soon. Ah, brand identity, the true currency of our civilization.

Well, I think we've solved the question of Quality versus Quantity.

Jeez, Chef, a little warning would be nice. I will admit to having partaken (partook?) at one point in the Okeene, Oklahoma Rattlesnake Roundup (warning: comes with lots of pop-ups, but also with dancing hillbilly frog), which is basically just an excuse for drinking beer and bothering rattlesnakes. Hmm. Drinking beer and bothering rattlesnakes. Amazing they've been able to do it for 63 years in a row so far and haven't run out of rednecks yet, doesn't it?

doesn't = isn't. I should have stuck with my first instinct and went with "don't".

Heh...about 3 weeks ago, driving through a *different* part of Montana, I passed through the little town of Ryegate, which proudly sponsors a similar event...(click for full view)...

Forgot to mention - notice the two different spellings of the key word.

My first instinct was that this is pretty much the usual "show us your tits" day out for the local bikers and rednecks but, if you look through the photos (those that don't throw up 404s anyway), it is more like a bunch of people getting drunk and letting their hair down without really hurting anyone, with just as many male bits as female ones hanging out, so it seems somehow better than the usual fare. It's a fine line, though. If I happened upon this event and was in the right mood, I might even join in, something I would never consider doing at this type of event normally.

"I've heard of backwoods "show us your tits" type festivals before" Let's leave Burning Man out of this.

I work a block down from a restaurant that serves Turkey Nuts (deep-fried turkey testicles) every day, as an appetizer. The sign out front reads "Ya'll Gobble Up Some Turkey Nuts!"
