The Top 10 Reasons Not To Stay Morgantown, West Virginia

Contrary to what the lousy song says, Country Roads do NOT always take you home.

You dream of a life that will involve a paved road.

You grow tired of tourists stopping by, asking for directions to the state of "South Virginia", and driving off in a fit of laughter.

You're stuck with AM Radio...AM COUNTRY radio.

You've grown tired of seeing the group "Glass Tiger" at the local Acorn Festival each year.

The sheep won't take your "abuse" anymore and they are planning a revolt.

Hayrides are still limited to just 10 mph.

The local theatre's performance of "Les Miserables" left something, no A LOT, to be desired.

You've had it with those pesky revenuers destroying your stills of "shine".

No matter how hard you try, your cows don't appear receptive to chasing or catching that Frisbee.

**MSiska** · 07-22-2003, 10:02 AM

But the roads are wunderful! Nice and smooth and 70mph....unless you're caravaning behind MDickie!!

MDickie driving down the road...

Kinda like following Stevie Wonder driving down the road!

sconi · 07-22-2003, 12:04 PM

No wonder why stang, BMW, Viper, etc.. guys are laughing at us!!! We actually let a blind guy lead us on our caravan to Bowling Green!!

**mdickie** · 07-22-2003, 01:06 PM

Where's my cane, Siska, he's a dead man, Sconi, dead, now all I need is someone to point in their direction so I can inflict some real albino blind fury on them...

Excuse me waiter, I'm gonna need about a six pack of WhoopAss to open up on these two slobs...

Mike, can you contact Hurricane and set up the lunch thing again, that was great.

Mr Siska, I would expect us to be there between 4:00 and 5:00 pm (junction of 81 and 70), so gather up all the MD and VA folks ya can and line em up in the breakdown lane.

Dragon, we should be pulling into the Morgantown Corutyard around 8:00 pm I think, maybe a little earlier, probably look to leave the next morning around 9:00 so we can be in Chrleston for lunch.

Can't wait guys, this is gonna be a blast...

Mark, I mean Stevie, errr I mean Mark
