Yes, there actually is something called the Redneck Games, which I just discovered through this LIFE photo gallery here. Quite the even to get LIFE photographers to show up I must say, and some of these pictures are downright amazing.

So what events might you expect in the games here? Well I’ll tell y’all right now!

• The cigarette flip
• Bobbing for pig’s trotters
• Seed spitting
• Toilet seat throwing
• Mud pit belly flop
• Big-hair contest
• Wet T-shirt contest
• Armpit serenade
• Bug zapping by spitball
• Dumpster diving
• Hubcap hurling

Armpit serenade? Delicious. Bug zapping by spitball? Now that’ just impressive. The one you see above is clearly the mud pit belly flop. I would have to imagine that the fatter you are, the more props you get from your fellow rednecks. God bless America.
