Help.. My father's from KENTUCKY!

[Endlessly]

Hey there, boys and girls. As is obvious by this post, I'm back from my family reunion, and oddly enough, I had a genuine blast.. Well, apart from the time my mother got drunk (what else is new) and my sister went off on her. I was as embarassed by my mother as she was, I just didn't know what to say; propriety, however, has never bothered my sister. *dry smile*

At any rate, the reason for this subject heading is, for the first time in my whole entire life, I found myself attracted to a member of my family. EWWWWW! I was fighting serious attraction to my first cousin most of the trip, and vice-versa. It was odd.. The guy's almost twice my age, but mentally, he and I are almost carbon copies. Nothing happened between the two of us, but I was really surprised; I hadn't seen him since I was six and he was, like, in his 20s. He's sort of goofy-looking, so it's not really a physical thing.. It might be the whole academia fetish, since he's a high-powered scientist-turned-attourney.. Or it might be the whole "haven't been on a date since May of '99" thing.

Yeah, that last one.

Anyway, don't think I'll be replying to much tonight.. Not so much because I'm tired, but because I have no idea what the hell most of these threads are about. Ah well, such is life.

I love family reunions and my kids usually have a good time once we are there. It is one of the only ways to keep track of all the branches of the family tree.

We have two really big ones each year, one on my mom's side and one on my dad's. My wife's family has quit having any and I think that it is a sad thing to let family ties die out.

Forgive me if I'm being naive, but is it REALLY true that beastiality is not illegal in Kentucky? I have an online friend that lives there, and he told me that. Coulda been yanking my chain though....I can never be too sure with him.

 

[Expertise]

Patryn i'm really, really hoping that is a "in the interest of science" type question. LOL

 

[Endlessly]

I have no fucking clue. (See the pun? Get it? Ha? Ha?) I honestly don't want to know.. When it comes to my family, I sort of like to pretend the entirety of my father's side of the family doesn't really exist. They're not what you might call 'quality' people. My grandmother and grandfather on that side both had the same last name before they were married, however.

That might explain a lot..

 

[Patryn]

No, it was a "morbid curiosity demands I know" type question.

I don't know about Kentucky, but last I heard, Missouri was redoing it's code book to make bestiality illegal. Apparently, when their laws were revamped in the '70's, this particular one was left off the books! Oops! So they're having to redo it again.

Kentucky? I don't understand. What's up with Kentucky? Im from canada so I don't know alot about the states. And are you not allowed to marry your second or third cousin just not your first?

First of all, I just got back from Kentucky and well, lets just say the young lady I had lunch with made it painfully obvious that she and her friends have absolutely NO sexual hangups. I say this because I would not be surprised if beastiality was a weekend thing.
But I must admit I was impressed with Louisville, they had indoor plumbin' and 'lectricity and that box that the pictures done show on.
Really though, compared to other places (Missouri being one...been there and I am amazed at the sheltered lives these people lead)Kentucky was pretty good. The only time I got concerned was when my new friend quoted the line from "Vacation"..."I kiss great. My Dad says I'm the best in the whole seventh grade." and I couldn't quite tell if she was making a joke or not.

Well Kentucky isn't all bad, they make pretty good fried chicken.

 

[Nexxus]

Which reminds me. I know I saw this on a post somewhere, but what exactly is "chicken fried chicken?"

[morgainefairy]

nex, i think i'll follow you around so i can laugh all evening. 2 more beers in me and you won't even have to try! (not that you're trying now)
it's like damn chicken fried steak-- only it's not steak inside.

 

[Skibum]

All right people, lay off Kentucky. My kids were all born in Kentucky.

Of course I can think of nothing else to reccommend the state... excuse me, Commonwealth ( they are very anal about that in Kentucky).

 

[Shintani]

Quit your whining! It's not our fault that your family tree does not branch!

To all Non-Americans who don't get the whole Kentucky thing

Kentucky is one of those rampant redneck/hillbilly states, or at least has the reputation of being so. Hillbillies of course, are noted for their incestuous proclivities. They are known for creating and guzzling cheap rotgut moonshine by the barrel and screwing everything that doesn't shoot back. Arkansas, Tennessee and West Virginia also share this dubious honor of being the butt of redneck/hillbilly jokes. Rumor has it that in Arkansas the most commonly asked question of divorce lawyers is "If I divorce her, is she still my sister?" This is, of course, unsubstantiated, but most likely true *giggle*.

 

[April]

Umm, KillerMuffin, I live in Arkansas.

 

[KillerMuffin]

So does about a quarter of my extended relatives. They, unfortunately, fit the stereotype. Three male memembers of my family have done jail time for molesting their daughters/sisters/neices/dogs. There has been serious talk amongst the family of castrating one of them. He lives in misery though.

 

[April]

*sigh* KillerMuffin, whatever will I do with you? Was trying to mess with you. Damn, I won't do that again.

Anyway, yeah, I live in Arkie hell, and I think the stereotype is definitely true! And check this out. The governor of this wacky state will be living in a triple-wide mobile home for the next 2 years while the governor's mansion is remodeled.

*sigh* Somebody get me outta here!!!

 

[KillerMuffin]

NO KIDDING???? A triple wide! WOWZERS!!!!!
*is wildly impressed*

This reminds me of a joke,
A man from(insert your choice of southern state here), left his bride on his wedding night to go back to his folks. The father says to him, so what happened? The son says, She told me she was a virgin. The fatehr then says, so you did the right thing because if she's not good enough for her own family she not good enough for us.


I'm in no way putting down southern sates, I am originally from North Carolina (the backwoods part) so I have no room to talk.
