Redneck Wine Glasses

Note: If you actually came here looking for how to make Redneck Wine Glasses… scroll all the way to the bottom.

Being part of a community is kinda cool.  If I don’t post for a while folks like Greybeard over a PitchPull will send me a reminder that I need to get on the ball.  Which… he did this week.

In truth, I’ve been really busy at work (yah yah yah) and have been living it up when I’m not working.  But, more importantly, I haven’t been able to find anything to write about.  I mean, since I last posted on July 9th I’ve been to the beach for the first time in years, I’ve been to India (Mumbai AND Delhi), I’ve been to Singapore, I’ve been to New Jersey (hey, it made a list!) and I’ll soon be off to Toronto and then NYC… just completely boring.

Anywho… When I can’t find something to write about I sometimes I read through all of my old posts to help generate ideas for new ones or I’ll look through the list of “draft” posts that I use to store ideas for later.  There are some actual “drafts” in there that are almost complete posts but there are others that are just a title and while some of them are cute double entendre’s (“Hunting for Suburbanites” anyone?) I can’t really recall what they were meant to be about.  Nothing there.

While clicking around the admin portion of the site I noticed a statistics package that I haven’t looked at in ages.  I clicked over and remembered that this package will tell me what search terms people used before they landed on my page.  Some of them make no sense at all but a few are expected.  “Ladies Handguns” is always a big hit and it usually finds my series on the same topic.  However, the largest number of hits come from my “Redneck Wine Makin’ Guide” which strangely (to me) is one of the post popular pages on the site… and it’s not even a blog post! 

The second most popular search phrase is “How to Make Redneck Wine Glasses” which, appears nowhere on this site.  And, we’re not talking about one or two here.  We’re talking about literally hundreds of hits.  That’s hundreds of people that were disappointed by my website and that just makes me sad.  Ok, not really… but “redneck wine glasses”?  I consider myself a fairly well practiced redneck in most areas but even I had never heard of these things so off I go to question Google on the topic.  What I found is a completely weird phenomenon that, well, honestly, the Redneck in me finds pretty darn cool.  So, after hours and hours of research and as a public service to those wayward souls who get marooned on my part of the interwebs here’s what yah gotta do:

Making Redneck Wine Glasses

1) Get you a glass candlestick holder
2) Get you a Mason jar (ok, Ball works too for non-purists)
3) Hotglue 1 to 2
4) Enjoy.

You’re welcome.
