Yep, every last one of them with no exception. I hear there are no cars there either since hillbillies can't read to take the driving test, they rely completely on horse and wagon for transportation.












Your sister needs to get out more.

First, your sister must be an uneducated individual.

A- The actual "hillbilly" term was derived from the folks in upper Michigan, not West Virginia.

B- The Hatfields and McCoys' border WV but also Kentucky. So there is more than one state involved in this situation

C- WV is not very racist at all, we love everyone equally, just ask any of the family, there are 1.8 million in the state and another million across the country.

So, before coming here and attempting to "flame" a thread which is against the terms of the board agreement. Try to create general conversation instead of insulting many members on the board.

Now, please be nice.

Tip: Select all of your text, copy into a word document, AND USE SPELL CHECK!!! Perhaps finishing the 3rd grade would have enabled you to use proper grammar and punctuation to imply the WV-ians are inbred hillbilly racists.

PS. My sister/wife agrees with me.

HB,

Ain't she your second cousin, too? Or is that your daughter I'm thinking of.

Hillbillies are too busy enjoying their lives to bother with that silliness. They won't always know what fork to use in a 5 course meal, but they'd never leave you stranded on the side of the road.
Fork? Y'all use forks? Sometimes I use the one they put in the bag, because the last few french fries are totally covered in ketchup. But I ain't braggin', just statin' fact.

Forks do help in keeping the crawdads from squirmin' too much. Makes it a lot easier to hit 'em with the Tabasco sauce.

There are only two types of people: West Virginians and people who want to be West Virginians.
Remember the slogan from about 30 years ago: Almost Heaven; West Virginia

Priceless comeback!

I am 51% 'Yuppie' (Smooth Jazz fan) and 49% 'Hippie/Redneck' (pickup truck)------and, the latter percentage is growing despite my Wash DC area education.
