What Haven’t I? Redneck edition.

June 11, 2013 by jansenschmidt

Here it is the middle of June already. Can you believe the year is half gone? In honor of the summer solstice, I’m offering ya’ll a chance to win a fabulous prize by simply offering your best guesses to this very special redneck edition of What Haven’t I?

If you’re a follower of my blog, you already know that earlier this year I decided to show my readers a little bit more about who Jansen Schmidt really is. We kicked the year off with a glimpse of my show business experiences and followed that up with a sprinkling of past wickedness.

This month, I’m going to let you take a peek at my redneck side. I look forward to your guesses. I will be awarding prizes and you don’t even have to know a single thing about me to play. All you have to do is record your guesses in the comments section below.

By way of reminder, three of the answers, I’m somewhat ashamed to say, are things that I have actually done. Only one is something I have not done. You can’t win if you don’t play. Have fun and good luck!

My responses will be posted on June 18th. The person with the most correct guesses will win a prize (if they check back and acknowledge that they have won by leaving another comment) AND the first person who responds back, regardless of how many responses they got right, will also receive a prize if they leave a second comment.

So let’s get going with the guessing:

#1 – What haven’t I ridden: a) a Harley Davidson; b) in the pace car at the harness races; c) a corvette; or d) a mechanical bull.

#2 – What haven’t I attempted to sell: a) a car; b) a horse; c) Princess House crystal; or d) make-up.

#3 – What ticket haven’t I received: a) parking; b) speeding; c) jay walking; or d) running a stop sign.

#4 – What haven’t I eaten: a) elk; b) moose; c) bear; or d) bison.

#5 – What haven’t I witnessed in person: a) a Nascar race b) a bull riding event; c) an ultimate cage fight; or d) a monster truck pull.

Word of the Day: Zinnwaldite

Fun fact about me: In detest coffee; smell, taste, everything.

This is awesome! I’m going with: c,d,c,c,a. I had to guess bear on the meat one. I’ve had elk and bison, and I don’t think moose would be too hard to get somewhere. But bear? Hmmm.

  All good guesses, Julie! I guess you’ll have to pop on over on the 18th to see what kill I’ve eaten.
  
  Thanks for playing along. Hope to see you again.

Wow. You detest coffee. I shake my head in disbelief as I take another sip of my steaming hot black elixir. My guesses are b,d,c,c,c.

  I don’t look like a jay walker to you, huh? Interesting. Well, I guess you’ll just have to stop back and see if I am or not. Or maybe I am and just haven’t gotten caught? Hmmmm.
  
  Nope – hate coffee. Tried it lots of times, all different kinds of way. Don’t. Like. It. Not the candy, not the ice cream, not the mochas, nothing. It smells like skunk to me. But you enjoy yours.
  
  Thanks for playing along and for your support.

b,b,c,c,c The only q I could claim more than one answer for is number 3. Oops. So Zinnwaldite is pretty obscure, but got me wondering if it could be used to make jewelry. 🙂 Enjoy the solstice!!

  I suppose zinnwaldite could be used to make jewelry. I’ve never seen or felt the stuff so I have no idea. I think I’ll just stick with gold or platinum just to be on the safe side.
  
  Thanks for the guesses. I think it’s safe to say that you got at least one right.

  Well CJ, it’s not for lack of trying. I’ve tried coffee several times over the years and just never developed a taste for it. Tequila, scotch, gin, beer, no problem, but coffee, just never stuck.
  
  I’m glad you’re not holding it against me though. And for total random guessing, you didn’t do too shabby. I hope you’ll check back on the 18th to see how you did. Maybe you should buy a lottery ticket.

Hmm, there are clues to at least a couple of these in your archives, IIRC! But others I have no idea so what the heck, let’s go with all Cs.

  Ah, a loyal follower. Yes, there are clues in the archives. All “c’s?” Is there some strategy there? Only time will tell.
  
  Thanks for stopping by today, Jennette. I’ll look for you on the 18th for the answers.

  Welcome back, Kitt and good guessing. I hope you’ll check back next week to see how well you did.
  
  I can’t stand the smell of coffee. It smells like skunk to me. Or maybe that’s just the really dark strong stuff my husband likes. I hate it when he brews in the morning. Yuck.

Shoot! I was going to go with all c answers, but Jennette beat me to it. I’m going to go with d, c, c, c, c. While I believe you’ve jaywalked, I don’t think you ever got ticketed for doing so.

Lucky we’re meeting at RWA National In San Antonio for G&T’s and not coffee, huh?

  So, Pat . . . you think I’m a jay-walker, huh? A rule-breaker, a boat-rocker? Always pushing the envelope so to speak? I’m so glad you think so.
  
  And you know, just because someone else guesses the say way you want to doesn’t mean you can’t say the same guesses. You’re silly. But you got more than one right so perhaps that was a good call. I guess you’ll have to stop back next Tuesday to see if your strategy paid off or not.
  
  And if you wanted to meet for coffee anywhere, I’d be there. I would simply refrain from a coffee beverage instead ordering something in the tea department.
  
  Looking forward to San Antonio.

It’s the 18th – time to reveal the answers. I know you all have been waiting very patiently to see if you’re a winner.

#1 – I have never ridden a Harley, though I’d like to some day. Jennette will you give me a ride?
#2 – I have never attempted to sell make-up, nor do I want to.
#3 – I have never been ticketed for jay-walking. Doesn’t mean I haven’t done it.
#4 – I have never eaten moose.
#5 – I have never attended an ultimate cage fight, nor do I want to.

Our winner – with the most correct answers – is Kitt!!! Congratulations. I will award your prize if you leave a comment acknowledging that you’ve won.

Kitt got 3 correct. Everyone else got 2 right. So that means, the first person, besides Kitt, who guessed and leaves another comment, is also a winner. Good luck!

Thanks to everyone for their support and playing along. I hope to see you again here at the Edge of Eternity!

  I’d love to see you riding a Harley, Patricia. Never thought I would and a dear friend got me on one behind him and I held so tight he said he thought his head would pop off. Never again!

  LOL Out of your first two, the only things you haven’t done, are the only things I have! I’ve never carried a passenger on my motorcycle – too chicken. But my hubby would be glad to give you a ride on his if you ever get out to Ohio! His is a much comfier ride than mine, too. 😀

    Believe it or not – there’s a little grill/deli in my hometown that usually has some kind of exotic meat on their menu. Emu burgers were popular for a long time. Elk steaks have been on there. Buffalo burgers, venison sausages. That’s where I had the bear. It’s really gamey tasting.
