Front Royal Funks

Can anyone out there provide information on a family in Front Royal named Funk? I've heard stories of inbreeding and general nastiness. What can I say--I'm fascinated.

i think the stories you heard are false because a) it's rather fantastic b) i think they would be arrested for incest if that kind of shit happened.

I've hung out at the Royal Oak Tavern in Front Royal a few times. Go hang out there for an evening and you'll either:

a) meet these Funk people
b) meet people who are friends with the Funk's
or c) meet people with the same unintentionally-hilarious social qualities as the Funk's

It's a scary trip down redneck lane every time I've been in there, you're bound to find exactly what you're lookin' for. If these Funk people are real they probably hang out there.

And Fairfax is a dull, boring, pile of plastic vinyl sided houses with strip malls and vanilla flavor, along with dull, boring , vanilla people whos idea of a good time is watching the Washington Redskins on TV, or getting in their SUV and dining at TGIFRIDAY'S.

FYI:

There are 5 TGI Friday's in Fairfax county. Our population is about 1,100,000.

On the other hand, Richmond has 4 locations, and a population of less than 200,000. If you included the Richmond suburbs, the ratio would be even higher.

I was just using that as an example. Folks in Fairfax go to any of those places- Outback Steakhouse, Applebee's, etc. They're all the same. Or maybe if they're feeling more adventerous they go to Panera Bread after a rousing night at Barnes and Noble looking through the best seller sections after they slurp down their Starbucks coffee...

You can call Front Royal people "rednecks' But at least Front Royal isnt soft serve vanilla and has some culture and the beauty of the blue ridge behind it.

For the record, I wasn't calling the people of Front Royal rednecks. I was calling the clientele of the Royal Oak Tavern rednecks. I'm guessing you've never been in there, and that means you are not qualified to discuss the subject any further.


As far as your other points, they are too stupid to argue about.

Well, I was sorta curious so I checked....

Outback Steakhouse

FFX (pop. 1.1M) has 7 locations, one location for every 157K people.
Richmond (pop. 200K) has 2, that is 1 location for every 100K people.


Guess that example was wrong, too. Just like your first one.


So let's see, how about Applebee's....


Applebee's
FFX has 4 locations, or one for every 275K people.
Richmond has 5 locations- that is 1 Applebee's for every 40,000 people. 40K! You guys must love Applebees (and that's like the lamest one of any of those places!)


Hmmmm... something about your argument just isn't adding up. So let's check another....


Olive Garden
FFX, 3 locations, or one for every 366K people
Richmond, 2 locations, or one for every 100K people


Nope, you lose there too...

Front Royal was also known as "Helltown" in the 18th century, due to the supposed readiness of its residents to fight at the slightest provocation. This was possibly due to the abundance of rough and wild mountaineers and river travelers in the area who came into town looking for alcohol and women.

Richmond is a city. Fairfax is a county. I dont think you need even a 5th grade education to understand that.

My point is, Fairfax really has no culture outside of strip malls and Barnes and Nobles.

FFX county has 5 Barnes and Noble locations. That is one per every 220,000 people.

Richmond, on the other hand, has 4 B&N locations, or one for every 50,000.

There's a few other families in that area where inbreeding has occurred.

From what my folks have told me, the Funks and these other families are descended from families kicked out of the mountains when they built Shenandoah National Park.

There is another Funk family in and around Strasburg (a few went to Warren County). They are not inbred though and are occasionally called the 'mutant Funks.'

I also suspect the Royal Oak Tavern is a bit too high-class for the Funks of which we speak. As for Front Royal culture, I left there before meth really started being an issue. Parts of eastern Warren, though, are pretty much like PWC in terms of demographics, etc.

Yes, and again, Richmond is a city! Fairfax is just a county. Oh and a city too. But remember we live in a Commonwealth?


Also- my point is going to B and N and Starbucks would appeal more to people in Fairfax, than Richmond folk. Richmonders would rather go to an art gallery or a museum, followed by dinner at the Tobacco Company

Fairfax people like to hang out at the bookstore after watching the Redskins game on their "big screen" tv and driving around in their SUV on Old Ox Rd.

If those types of places didn't appeal to Richmond folks, they wouldn't be building so many of them down there. There are way more chain restaraunts per capita in Richmond than in NoVa. And don't give me this city/county bullshit, it would be just as easy for me to calculate the ratios per square mile, which I think would show an even higher saturation of lackluster chain restaurants across Richmond.

The Tobacco Company... that goddamn tourist trap. Those amateurs think they can set up shop in an old warehouse and pawn it off as some kind of historical experience. Well some of us aren't fooled. No wonder they have so many Shoney's down your way.

For a proper comparison, we have to compare apples to apples: i.e. Henrico/Hanover/Chesterfield with Fairfax/Arlington/Alexandria/PWC/Loudoun. If we include Richmond and all its 'goodness,' we would have to include DC.

Richmond, by and large, is more cultured. The irony is the DC area is extremely provinical trying to be Cosmopolitan, while Richmonders simply have a natural sophistication they dont have to try as hard.

You try seeing what a DC person would do at the Historic Museums in Richmond or art galleries here. Theyd probably ask where they could watch the "Skins" on tv, or where the nearest brewery was.

The Funks are definitely real. Most of them suffer from a condition called cleidocranial dysostosis. You can look it up on-line, but the condition consists of being born with no collar bones, frontal skull bossing (pronounced forehead), extra teeth and short stature. Most of the people from this family are decent family-oriented people when not partaking alcohol. Most of the bad rep is from alcohol -related incidents.

I live in Front Royal, and I am pretty sure the story of the Funks is accurate..there was even a special done on them on the discovery channel or something like that. I have yet to see it, I just know it was done.

and as far as this town being filled with rednecks...it is. Face it. the majority of the population are a bunch of rednecks..some decent people, others are nasty, racist bastards that I cannot wait to get away from after I graduate.

There are alcoholic, intolerant jackasses, which tend to be nasty hickish hillbillies. They make this town intolerable, even though it is a pretty decent down to live in with that exception. Seeing as how I actually live here, I can post my observations without being attacked and taking it seriously, like some of the other people have.

Hahaha reading these caustic comments has amused me to no end. Thank you so much.

Fairfax is a complete and utter shithole currently occupied by the Yuppie Ground Troop Clone Army and covered by a thin veneer of luxury that soon flakes off like a bad paint job. McMansions, gated apartment complexes, and big box shopping to satisfy the empty, soulless beings trapped in this limbo.

Front Royal is the east coast capital of retarded fuglies who couldn't make a proper right-turn to save the life of the drunken redneck slattern who conceived them.

Anyone engaged in the Battle of Fairfax vs. Front Royal, time out. You need to get out of VA and see the world a bit. And no, by "see the world" I don't mean retreat to your Outer Banks vacation spot where you can be surrounded by other Virginians doing the same damn thing that your are. And don't forget the sticker for your car so that everyone can see how well-traveled you are.

I like Front Royal. I'm not sure how Front Royal is "the nastiest armpit in the state" when you have places like Annandale and Bailey's Crossroads.

You must not get around much. There are places near Newport News/Virginia Beach, Richmond and many other places that are worse by FAR.

the stories about the funks in warren county are legit. i live in fauquier, one of their boys from front royal went to school here at fauquier high. they dont have collar bones, and i saw him touch his shoulders together in the front. weird stuff. he was a real small muscular kid, and i think his family owned a tree trimming business.

Okay they are for sure real. They use to be my neighbor's. All I really remember is that the cops were always over there for something. I haven't seen any of them for a few years though. If you want to meet them they apparently go into game stop

One of my best friends in high school in the 80s was a Funk from Front Royal and a fine person, and most of you should be ashamed for not looking in the mirror and engaging in some self criticism first!

Richmond, with all its apparent intellectual qualities, is nevertheless without any true culture, especially without a culture of its own. For the sham culture which Richmond possesses today is the property of others, and is mostly spoiled in their hands. When judging Richmond in its attitude towards the question of culture, one has to keep before one's eye as an essential characteristic that there never has been and consequently that today also there is no Richmond art; that above all the two queens of all arts, architecture and music, owe nothing original to Richmond. What it achieves in the field of art is either bowdlerization or intellectual theft.

Newport News has some rather nice areas. Shame on you for hating on the 757!

Ok I grew up next to a family of funks, there were a mom n a dad and like 6 kids. In front royal there is a whole bunch of funks but there not all related. N e who, the kids who are in there 20's some of them do have deformities as do there dad cuz its ok his side. If I'm not mistaken his name is donald funk and his parents were I thought brother and sister. But the inbreeding doe go back further than that because a few other family members have diformaties. And yea there was a special on the discovery channel, 1 of thr family members sold there
Story to make money. But the kids the ones my age in there 20,s have kids and all look normal and don't have anything wrong with thrm

I KNOW 10 OF THEM AND ONE OF THEM EVEN HAS SEVERLY BOWED LEGS ALONG WITH THE HUGE FOR HEAD AND UPTURNED NOSE. I ALSO HAD A FEW PPL SWEAR 2 ME THAT THEY HAVE READ A NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC WHERE IT STATED THAT THE FRONT ROYAL FUNKS ARE THE MOST SEVERLY AND CONTINOUSLY INBREAD FAMILIY IN THE USA OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. JUST CHECK OUT THE LOCAL CARNIVALS IN FRONT ROYAL AND U WILL C ALOT OF THEM THERE. SOME OF THEM R CARNIES BUT MOST OF THEM R CUSTOMERS.

I like Front Royal. I'm not sure how Front Royal is "the nastiest armpit in the state" when you have places like Annandale and Bailey's Crossroads.


WHAT!? i've lived in both annandale AND FRONT royal- much longer in front royal:

two years high school in annandale but graduated from warren county high and here's what's up:

1) the funks are real. they do suffer from the genetic disorder previously mentioned and yes, as far as everyone in front royal knows, they are inbred.

2) annandale has its faults, sure... but to say it is worse than front royal? HOLY GEEZ....

3) and yes, i can say i've actually seen better than virginia has to offer (and worse) as i've travelled from coast to coast in our great nation as well as abroad in several european countries on several different occasions. holy cow. you guys are really trippin' over all this horse shit.

4) lastly, i've spent time in DC and Richmond and there's no doubt whatsoever DC is the greater city, overall. people are people everywhere and they all appreciate culture (or don't) and all have to eat and yes, we've all eaten at those shit holes. quit being so uppity. some things are just obvious. nations capitol (as a city) > richmond, (capital of virginia)

I know people that know them personally. Definitely an inbred family and has been that way for some generations now. They live in front royal

Interesting posts and topics, been around for years and somehow I missed this.

There are few other family names from western VA that get maligned like that Funks are, one starts with SH and the other T. I am curious if anyone else knows the ones I am talking about.

The weird disorder of being born without a collar bone is something I never officially heard of or suspected as being a sign of inbreeding. I heard a guy being described by another hillbilly as being "slackjawed and goat-shouldered". The guy being described was slack jawed and had shoulders that just dropped off like the pics of people with this disorder.

I thought it was just another funny thing to say, never knew it was an actual physical condition.

It is true. I lived there for years and was in the same grade as one of the kkids in the fam. When you see a Funk you'll know. There is some obvious physical attributes. I think the incest happened for generation after generation.... but not any longer.

I was in the Navy with Frank Funk. He was a cook. His brother was Ronnie. He had a sister named Mary Louise.she dated Darren Beamish. Their cousin was Chris Breeden. He was dating this girl who got pregnant by her daddy. Her sister got pregnant by her daddy too. She tried to say it was Chris' kid but blood test proved who the dad was. They still haven't told the kids who their dad is. Frites was the last name.

Fairfax county has the best schools, better job, economy and style of life. I do love front royal because of the ease of life and open, heart warming people here, however... YOU seem to be very close to proving me wrong... what a shame, your a disgrace!

I love Front Royal and also FFX, no need to insult either. This convo arose due to ONE question regarding the "Front Royal Funks" which I have been interested in learning about WTH happened there and why??? LOL, apparently they are so inbred they cannot get it out of them, even when mating with other families. When did this all start, how long etc, etc, anybody know

To "The Meaper" You have got to be one of the most ignorant, unskilled, un-socialized person I have met her in Front Royal. Fairfax has a very wide variety of individuals with many different skills. I did not like the traffic there, so I moved out this way, however if you had any kind of sense you would know that all the high paying jobs are Fairfax and further east... Front Royal is a wonderful place to live, raise your children, peaceful, however I feel speaking ill of a county that is rated way higher than yours is just showing your ignorance.. Maybe if you got out of F.R, you would have a clue what is going on in the real world.
