Redneck Ice Sculpture

This is a redneck ice sculpture.

Any ideas what it is?

The negative space in the center... oh, wait, this is a redneck ice sculpture.

The hole in the middle was actually it's own piece of ice, but unfortunately I tossed it against a rock to watch it shatter before I thought of taking pictures. This picture is more interesting anyway.

What the photo doesn't give you is any sense of scale. Is that an inch across, or a foot?

Here's some other objects that will help clarify.

I had the oil pan stashed under Gina's car, but she came home and took her car, so the oil pan filled up with rain. The funnel was upside down inside the pan. (And apparently centered quite nicely.)

When it froze, ice poked up out of the top of the funnel, and all the pieces separated like they'd been greased, which seems entirely reasonable.

Yeah, I know. There's damn lots of fun up in the hills. Diane's column this week is about a bunch of Troglodyte high school coaches who want the school board to update the 1970 policy on the appropriate length of hair for high school athletes. Keep it, but update it to allow hair to reach the bottom of a standard shirt collar instead of the top.

Wow.

I'm stumped, although I'm of the opinion that it has something to do with a beer bottle.

No beer bottles involved.

Looks like a bike seat with a can on top of it.

Wow. You guys have some excitement.

The bottom of a shirt collar? Isn't that, I dunno, a little avant garde for the hills?

Also, to truly qualify as "redneck", I believe the sculpture should've had something to do with beer, or been of an outhouse seat or possibly antlers.

Doesn't the dead moth frozen into the ice count for nothin'?

It counts in Frankie's book, I'm sure.
