I live in Kentucky.

[Sukhoi]

Went out with some friends in a limo. The driver had a MAC-10. Some other guy was carrying under a flacket. And the main topic of convo was how this other dude's girlfriend was involved with her brother. That's all. But it was fun! :laugh:

 

[toolboxolio]

My life doesn't seem so bad now. Thanks for the pick-me-up.

j/k... don't get shot.

 

[theprodigalrebel]

I just looked up what a flacket is. Woo-hoo, I already own one!

i hate kentucky... louisville, however, is pretty sweet. i don't consider louisville as part of kentucky... it's its own entity, in my opinion.

i lived in kentucky for three years...

Louisville is the shining beacon of coolness in KY.

We separated from the state in 1943. Something about cousins forced some changes.

A child born in Kentucky is less likely to succeed in life. (PDF)

A child born in Kentucky is significantly less likely to experience success in life than children born in most other states. That was the finding of analysis released Wednesdayby themagazineEducationWeek. ?From Cradle to Career: Connecting American Education From Birth Through Childhood? based its findings on 13 indicators that highlight whether young children get off to a good start, succeed in elementary and secondary school, and hit crucial educational and economic benchmarks as adults. States gained or lost points based on how they performed compared with the national average. Virginia, Connecticut andMinnesota all scored high. Kentucky ranked 41st, Ohio was 27th and Indiana was 30th. Kentucky scored either at or below the national average for all but one of the 13 indicators, with the report finding the state weak in middle school math, postsecondary participation and adult educational attainment. Kentucky also was hurt by high poverty rates and its low parental education and employment. ?There?s definitely a relationship between education and poverty levels,? said Pam Hatton, supervisor of the Boone County Adult Education Center. The center serves more than 2,000 adult students each year. Classes are free and can range from one course to improve skills for a particular job (suchas a basic computer class) to enough courses to take the GED test. Hatton has seen the negative power of poverty on a student?s education. ?Those in poverty ? everything that happens to them is overwhelming,? Hatton said. ?We have people who come in with every intention of making a better life, but poverty brings them down.? A Kentucky Department of Education official said the department doesn?t disagree with the report. ?We recognize these are issues that we need to focus on,? said spokeswoman Lisa Gross. ?But there are also things in the report that are not fixable by elementary and secondary education,? such as poverty, employment issues and adult educational attainment.

Well, Lexington is not so bad. I actually love it here. Now about Eastern Kentucky, where I was born and grew up.....well, that's another story. And as far as I'm concerned, the Ohio river should be moved to the othe side (South) of Louisville and it can become a part of Indiana!

But then kentucky would be devoid of any decent college sports teams? Doesn't seem to make sense.

Reminds me of the shirt

"Kentucky..... home of 300,000 people and 3 last names."

And other than football come lately (nevermind the lost coach Petrino), what does Louisville have to do with that?

 

[eits]

everyone in kentucky tells people where they're from by telling them one of 120-something counties...

"i'm from grayson county"... "i'm from meade county"...

frigging ridiculous to me that people live in areas that are so damn small that they just say their county rather than their town... they don't even say "i live in a town that's a half an hour south of lexington" or anything... they just say "_________ county"

Heh, too funny. I worked with a guy in Lexington who moved here from Mass (Boston area), and he said the same thing. He found it funny and odd that we referred to counties, not cities.

And Kentucky has 120 counties on the nose. The reason for so many? Back in the "day", it was mandated that county seats should be placed only far enough apart that one could travel by horseback and carraige from sun-up to sun-down.

The University of Kentucky went to a bowl game with Rich Brooks as the head coach. Brooks built up the University of Oregon program and took them to a Rose Bowl. Kentucky has also been great in basketball.

Louisville has been really good in basketball.

Muhammed Ali is from Louisville, although I don't like mentioning him. Ali is one of those guys that everyone seems to love, but I can't get passed him being an arrogant thug who loved himself way too much. He's no better than Terrell Owens' personality.

LOL you're right! I had not noticed that before but it's completely true.

And as amazing as it sounds Mapquest has a town of some sort listed as Double Culvert. Yes, Double Culvert.
