I was reading some Italian (WHY?? I don’t know italian) news paper on the web the other day, and I saw all the canidates. The one that won was in my top 10, but far from prettiest. But I also notised that all of them looked pretty 80’s compared to European Misses. And they all looked 10 years older..huh…In Norway and other countries I have seen around here they are usualy 18-24, not 34 with 3 kids..:D

Hi Matt
And I thought that there are only green blinking neons in Kentucky. Now how come you forgot to tell us that there are gorgeous Kentuckian “Taras” too. And now I understand better why you keep traveling back to Kentucky so often

So …. do you know this girl and can you hook us (and by us I really mean just me) up?
I’m in NYC at the moment but I’m happy to find a map, then Kentucky, then an airport!

Russel Springs huh, so would that make her a Hawks fan or a KU fan?
I keep forgetting to blog about that x-spammer out in the hall handing out phone cards at webmasterworld Boston, I’ll make a note and get it up this week.
Missed you at PUBCON were you there?

Shhhhh, Matt. Don’t draw so much attention. Let us KY boys keep that whole Ky-girls thing to ourselves. We need to just let everyone keep believing the Hee-Haw thing. Yep folks… nothing to see here. Move along…

What a group of teeth on her, if she came out of the water at a pool party some might mistake her for a shark feeding on baitfish and run!
Observation: Her eye lids are dark and her skin complexion does not match her hair color, she must have had and extremely good personality yes?

Ben, that’s a common mistake to assume that everyone knows everyone else. I often get asked: “Oh, you’re from Kentucky? Do you know Bob/Larry/Tom Somebody?”
Neat site, Kentucky Redneck. I know of a really neat hidden waterfall in Elliot County, but I’m saving that as a secret.
Aaron Pratt, my eyes!! It burns!

Just to say I enjoyed your site and the wonderful waterfall of Kentucky. Very relaxing.

Why do all women have the same look on their face when they win a “miss whatever”?
Unrelated, but whatever Aaron posted, is that Sergey HIMSELF? :O

I’ve been reading your blog off and on for a while, suspecting you were the one from Kentucky and now i know! I believe you came and did a talk at UK a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to attend but was really impressed with what I heard about you and the presentation.
Kentucky Redneck Said,
April 26, 2006 @ 6:44 am
Elliott County…. Im gonna load the Jeep up and go look for this one. Hidden that makes it even better lol. If you feel inclined to share more details that would be great or I will have to resort to riding around asking does anyone know where the hidden waterfall is……

Hi Matt
Would you be kind when do you expect the next Grab bag thread?
Have some few Googling questions about the new infrastructure that might need some Googling-Deluxe answers
Thanks.

Surely next stop would be Miss World.
Or is this competition like the World League of Rounders etc you have in the states
Matt Cutts Said,

Kentucky Redneck, suffice it to say that it’s in the boonies. Only the weirdest of circumstances led to us finding it. If you’re driving around and see a chimney with no house to go with it, that’s the starting point to go looking. Good luck!
Susan Said,

Meh. She’s not that great-looking. Anyone could accomplish that look with enough peroxide and self-tanning lotion. But then, I suppose after spending so much time with NoCA girls, something like Miss Kentucky looks *really* good, comparitavely.

Hi Devdive,
Good question, Because beauty empower same way to every women, atleast they are alike in some qualities or abilities, hence the expression are same.

I am in the tanning industry and I still hate to see the “fake tans” that most of these contestants have. I think it hurts business more than it helps.

I believe that Donald Trump’s decision to let Tara (Miss USA) keep her crown is the best choice. This gives her an opportunity that most “Beauty Queens” are usually not giving, to actually be a REAL ROLE MODEL. After that two hour pageant no one idolizes or even remembers the queen. However now that she’s in the spotlight she can show EVERYONE that “WE” all make mistakes and it’s true courage to overcome our problems. Thus makes her a REALISTIC ROLE MODEL (emphasis on REALISTIC) to girls that face the EXACT PROBLEMS. HOWEVER if they were to fire her that would TRULY be a BAD EXAMPLE to young girls, that gives teenagers the idea that if they were to make a mistake WE the public are not going to HELP them. We are only going to ridicule, mock and outcast them the same way as Miss USA.
EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON—this is my personal belief and this is truly reflection on this situation

I think that the contest is fair and that Donald Trump tries to do everything in his power to make it fun and fair. I don’t think that people give him enough credit.

I’d love to chime in on the Miss Universe, being a female. Don’t see many ladies in here. I’d like to find the original thread so I can put in my 2 cents without sounding like I just walked in a room.

I just stumbled on this post: I didn’t realize you’re from KY. I saw you wearing an Ale 8 shirt in a video awhile back, but I never considered that you were actually from KY.
Kentucky is horribly stereotyped. I, like most Kentuckians, know that KY is no different than anywhere else: There’s the good and the bad. You’re doing a great job at Google: The results get better and better all the time. You are representing this great state well and I really appreciate that!
