Rednalsi As A Noun

What is a Rednalsi? I was asked this question recently.

The short answer is a woodchuck prank native to the northwestern corner of the state of Vermont. Almost limited exclusively to the Lake Champlain Islands, but often tinged with irony.

Examples may include, but not be limited to;

Swapping democrat’s and republican’s lawn signs in the middle of the night.

Putting Japanese beetle pheromone traps in your neighbors yard.

Swimming around in Lake Champlain, in scuba gear towing a Champ decoy.

Dropping off free roosters from craigslist in peoples yards in the middle of the night you don’t like.

Launching bars of soap from potato guns into posted property at the start of deer season.

Making cardboard cut outs of whitetail bucks with computer paper tails and put them in the edges of fields the night before deer season.
