I just looked at the caption this thread and made an assumption:

Who are the sheep lovers in your part of the world?

I've been to Centralia before. I think i've seen a few of these "rednecks" you speak of. :lol
But the training facility is in Grapevine, Texas :D

I can confirm that!
A few years back our family made reservations for a train ride on an old steamer in Grapevine. Please mind you these reservations were confirmed one month before the train ride. Showed up on the exact day and time scheduled and they told us, "What train ride?"

Anybody in South Dakota. They usually wear mud boots and have velcro gloves. :D

It's been a few years, but I used to go fishin and drinking at Carlyle lake. I caught a 10lb carp dragging a fishing pole there once. :lol

You know why some men wear kilts? Sheep can hear a zipper from a mile away.

Australians, given their national song is about stealing a sheep, it's known as Waltzing Matilda, and they like to sing it at the beginning of rugby games in Australia, below are the lyrics with translations:
Once a jolly swagman [typical unemployed australian] camped by a billabong [pond]
Under the shade of a coolibah [eucalyptus] tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy [pot of water] boiled
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], with me"
Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance]
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], with me"
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy [pot of water] boiled,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], with me".
Down came a jumbuck [sheep] to drink at that billabong [pond],
Up jumped the swagman [typical unemployed australian] and grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck [sheep] in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], with me".
Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance]
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], with me"
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck [sheep] in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], with me".
Up rode the squatter [farmer], mounted on his thoroughbred [horse],
Down came the troopers [police], one, two, three, [australians can't count beyond 3]
"Where's that jolly jumbuck [sheep] you've got in your tucker bag?"
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], with me".
Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance]
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], with me"
"Where's that jolly jumbuck [sheep] you've got in your tucker bag?",
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], with me".
Up jumped the swagman [typical unemployed australian] and sprang into the billabong [pond],
"You'll never catch me alive", said he,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong [pond],
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], with me".
Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance]
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], with me"
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong [pond],
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], with me."
"Oh, You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], with me."
So there you have it, the Australian national song is basically about an unemployed Aussie who stole a sheep with romantic intentions, was caught by the local cops, and killed himself in a fit of romantic depression and not being able to get his jollies with his beloved sheep.
In New Zealand we have the haka: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQeHErp42CY

Oh and it's worth noting koala's have been suffering an outbreak of chlamydia for a few years now, so it's not just sheep that receive attention from amorous aussies. Now you know why those cute lil koala's hang on to tree's for dear life.
