Are you a true WVian?

THE RULES OF WEST VIRGINIA ARE AS FOLLOWS:


1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.


2. Turn your cap right, your head isn't crooked.


3. Let's get this straight; it's called a "dirt road." I drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.


4. They are cattle. They're live steaks. That's why they smell funny to you. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? Rt. 50 goes east and west, I-79 goes north and south. Pick one.


5. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $150,000 corn pickers and hay balers that are driven only 3 weeks a year.


6. So every person in West Virginia waves. It's called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.


7. If that cell phone rings while an 8-point buck and 3 does are coming in, we WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.


8. Yeah, we eat catfish & ramps. You really want sushi & caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop.


9. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.


10. We open doors for women. That is applied to all women, regardless of age.


11. No, there's no "vegetarian special" on the menu. Order steak. Or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham & turkey.


12. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup. Oh, yeah.... We don't care what you folks in Cincinnati call that stuff you eat... IT AIN'T REAL CHILI!!


13. You bring "coke" into my house, it better be brown, wet and served over ice.



14. You bring "Mary Jane" into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.


15. College and High School Football is as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.


16. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards -- it spooks the fish.


17. Colleges? We have them all over. We have State Universities, Community Colleges, and Vo-techs. They come outta there with an education plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at everybody when t hey come for the holidays.


18. We have a whole ton of folks in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. So don't mess with us. If you do, you will get whipped by the best.


19. Turn down that blasted car stereo! That thumpity-thump crap ain't music, anyway. We don't want to hear it anymore than we want to see your boxers. Refer back to #1.



20. 4 inches isn't a blizzard - it's a flurry. Drive like you got some sense in it, and DON'T take all our bread, milk, and bleach from the grocery stores. This ain't Alaska, worst case you may have to live a whole day without croissants. The pickups with snow blades will have you out the next day.

Feeding the hungry by playing an online game

I found something yesterday that is amazing!!

How would you like to help feed the world's hungry while playing a game, while learning?

I found a way to have fun, and affect the world at the same time...

www.freerice.com

At FreeRice, you can play a vocabulary game. For each correct answer, 20 grains of rice are donated to the World Food Program. The rice is then distributed to those in need.

This might not sound like a lot of rice. However, the vocabulary game is fun and addictive. Your contributions will quickly add up.

Wondering where FreeRice gets the food to donate? The site is supported by advertisers. The advertising generates money to buy the rice. FreeRice is a non-profit organization. All money from advertising goes to help feed the world. You can learn more by reading the Frequently Asked Questions. www.freerice.com/faq.html

Now, the thing I like most about FreeRice is that it’s a win-win situation. In exchange for helping the hungry, you’re helping yourself. The questions can be quite challenging, so they'll improve your word power!

So, go there, see what level you can get to... I was up to level 40 yesterday, try to beat that!
