Apparently there isn't.

Hillbillies can't tafford putahs, and mostun dun have pow'r to run one less'n theys can 'ford one o' them thar gen'rator thingiemabobs. :grin:

Most of the ones I see on here are from California and Pennsylvania.

First I gotta figure how the pronunciation of putahs. Would that be poo tahs? or peeyew tahs? Either way they 'prolly can't afford them thar gen'rator thingiemabobs. lol

Dun youse know nuttin bout us Wes by God Virginians? It's poot'uhs. Kinda liken poontang widdout the tang. An iffen youse gonna sez it, sez it right. It's cantafford...one wud.

Man, I hope if any West Virginians actually do come here, they don't think I'm poking fun at em. I am, but being as I'm one of em, if they get offended, I'll have to get offended at myself and I just don't think I'm ready to do that. :grin:

LOL this just cracked me up.

I am from New York, but live in Ohio now.. and i am only 10 minutes from West Virginia, right over the bridge. I can go into a store and they mock me so bad on how i talk ( I still have a pretty bad NY accent), that when i hear them, its hard for me to want to not say anything.. all i say is.. "I'd love it if you went to NY and talked the way you did, you would't be making fun of us then" LOL

Well I'm in NH now. You New Yawkahs don't have nothing on these he'ah New Hampshah northernah's.

I did a temp job at a local college when I first moved here. I'd do a deep southern accent just to crack this one girl up who'd never heard "us" talk. LOL!

LOL!

When I first moved to Virginia from New York in 1990, we had gotten lost in this little town, so we stopped at a convenience store to ask for directions, and as soon as I opened my mouth, he said "y'eh I cin tell ya'll ain't from 'round here"

SO he proceeded to tell me directions, i wasn't far from where we were headed, but his directions were like, "y'all jus' go down that tree a yonder", and i had to stop him in the middle there, and ask with my stupidity, "How far is a yonder?" LOL

I didn't know it was like a saying there lol

That's sounds like my grandpa taking notes on how to spell "u-ie" when getting directions and the guy said "You just drive your ca'h down the'ah and take a u-ie."

I am so rolling here lol

Since there ain't no West by God Virgineeeans on this here board, or anywhere a yonder....

LOL! We may as well make this our own personal stomping ground for a bit.

So what part of OH? I was born and raised a bit in Columbus myself, and my bro lives in Southpoint. But we were basically raised for too many years in West Virginia that we consider ourselves hillbillies moreso than buckeyes. I've been in NH since 1997 and don't even know if they have a name for themselves here. I was in NC for a year, and I know they're the tarheels and in VA with the cavaliers for a year. I don't think NH has a name. They're too busy living free or dying up he'ah. :grin:

I'm actually gonna be back in WV for a week the first week of September. Met a home girl up here in Bangor, ME during a Stephen King Green Mile meeting weekend before last. She and I will probably get together again while I'm down there.

It's a world of laughter a world of tears
It's a world of hope and a world of fears
There's so much that we share that it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all

Everybody!

It's a small world..... :p

OoOooo I love Stephen King! have you met him?

I'm actually from New York, and moved to Virginia in 1990, and met hubby there, we moved back to his hometown of Columbus since his brother got him a real good job, with benefits, etc, and I lived in Columbus for a year, before we bought this property here in Middleport, Ohio, (Southeast..is around the Pomeroy/Gallipolis area).and right across the bridge from us, over the Ohio River, just 13 miles away is Point Pleasant (OoOoOoOo... Mothman lol)

NH seems like a beautiful state..(I been wondering also when someone from WV was going to come to this board and yell at us for implying they talk "a lil fun-nay" lol

Nope, haven't met the King. Hubby sold him a word processor once. LOL All I got was my pic taken in front of his house a few dozen times. :grin:

A lot of my family is from Columbus. My aunt retired from Schottensteins there and then moved out of the state. Another aunt and uncle sold a car dealership they had. You ever see Cars2NV and Denny Motors out on Morse Road? Then they moved to FL. So no one left in Columbus but one cousin. Got an aunt in Lancaster and then my bro, but everyone else has kinda scattered across the states now. One cous in AL, an aunt in CA/IL (depending on which business she's running at the time LOL), a few in FL, a few in NC, one in SC. Kinda all over the road.

NH isn't really much different than WV in looks of the state...all mountains, lotsa leaves. The big difference here though is that you don't see a lot of cars up on cinderblocks in people's front yards. LOL!

LOL @ ya pic in front of his house..I read most of his books, I"m a big horror fan


I don't know Morse rd well, I lived off I think it was called Harrisburg Pike? almost near Grove City when we first moved here, i told hubby, if i wanted to live in the city, I would have moved back to New York, i wanted to be out of the city, but it was just a temporary spot till we were able to save once he statrted his job, and all..

my hubby is from Galloway.. his brother and father still live there.. his dad is off West Broad street somewhere..I haven't been back to Columbus since we moved, my hubby works there at Decker Construction, (Highway Construction) its a far drive from us, so he stays at his dads a few days a week then comes home thurs-Sunday, he does get laid off from dec-april though, when it's too cold to do the roads.., (we are on unemployment at that time), but he does like his job. and sometimes they are called back in March.

my family is also scattered, mostly in New York though some have moved to New Jersey (wow big move lol).. Georgia, Virginia, and California.

since living just 10 minutes away from West Virginia, its not much different here either, though we do have a few of those folks who like putting junk cars in their front yards.. dunno why, they just sit there and sit there lol..its actually a beautiful state, and I guess you get certain kind of folks everywhere.. some a lil mo'e redneck then o'thirs LOL

I haven't been in Columbus myself since 1983. Went to Lancaster for the family reunion every year until I moved up here. Just barely missed this years. They have it the last Sunday in August, and I'll be there on 9/2. Sometimes that last Sunday coincides with the first of September, but not this year. :(

Lancaster is about 1 1/2 hour from me, we go to the mall there quite abit, hubby drives through there on his way to work back and forth.. the traffic is so bad there now, its unbearable.. there's lots of road work being done now where they be making an extra way to get down 33...

hubby dreads driving on that main road in Lancaster during working hours and weekends..during christmas season, it was worse, of course, but cant wait for that new road to be built there.

It's been building up. Used to not even BE a mall. Then we go to a reunion one year and they have a mall, then the following year and they've added about a half dozen hotels. Good for us though, cause when the Holiday Inn was just too annoyning (toilet was broken, etc.), we went across the street and booked into the Amerihost. Since all they had left were junior suites, I had to put up with an entire weekend of nothing but a balcony overlooking the indoor pool and our own private hottub in the room. ::sigh::

Did you ever see the movie "Wrong Turn?" it is set in West Virginia, and has things about cannibalism and incest.. omg.. i have friends calling me from NY, because they know i live so close to see if its actually true lol

Of course I saw it! And I suggest it to anyone who wants to know what WV is like? LOLOL!!!! Actually, they were filming that in KY and the director must've taken a wrong turn and thought it was WV. There's not really any incest in WV. There are too many people packed into one trailer there, not enough room to turn around, much less have incest.

LMFAO!! was it really in Kentucky?? shoot...I even thought it was there lol

my "northern" friends seem to think the west va's are like the mountain men in "Deliverence" and those movies.. I swear these movies give the state a bad name LOL

LOL I don't know where they actually shot it. It's just that while the rest of the world thinks incest occurs in WV, West Virginians always blame it on KY.

They actually celebrate the "Mothman" anniversary there in Point Pleasant now, since the movie was released.. back in 2002. A bit of a party there on Main ST. lol

They now have a statues made of steel of the mothman, with big red eyes and all, and they had a book signing by the author of it, i was able to meet him and get my book signed, was pretty cool, they had the props, and outfits and alot of stuff that was used on the mothman set, with lots of mothman "fanatics" who I guess believe this is true.. I never even heard of this until I seen the movie, so when my friends come down now, its "I want to see the mothman statue" now, or "take me to the town where that movie was made" since i live only 20 miles from it.

We didn't have no Mothmen in our neck o' the woods. Just my brother, who was dubbed Aquaman after he rescued a boy who'd been swept into a culvert by the current. He had to finish up high school with that nickname. He was disappointed that no one ever did a movie about it. LOL

LMAO! awww, that poor guy

.

You hear about the Beverly Hillbillies show they wanted to shoot in West Va? and they are suing to stop it from happening because they don't want this kind of reputation? lol

I heard something about a Beverly Hillbillies show awhile back, but didn't know they wanted to do it in WV. Just got back from there Tuesday. Mom sent me home with the WV Visitor's Guide, the Charleston Visitor's Guide and the free Hillbilly Humor paper. LOL!

LOL

looks like they aren't going to do it, since Governor Wise so opposed it.

The Mothman festival is this weekend. I'll be going to it again, I was there last year in Point Pleasant, and got to meet the author, and had him sign my book. It's pretty interesting, seeing folks from all over the states going to this little festival here. I didn't realize how many fanatics were out there to see this, as I only went there to see the statue they made of the mothman, but my husband hasn't seen it yet, and wants to go, so that will be our big weekend in WV lol
