Are fireworks legal in WV? Fireworks are fun on New Year's and they might mess with the drunken hunters. Heck, I was at a friends party for New Year's and we set off fireworks even though they're illegal in Delaware. Anyway, watch out for drunk redneck hunters, but they shouldn't be too hard to avoid, as you can hear a rusted-out '69 Ford F-150 from a mile away.

WV's cool. I had family come from there. The Apalatia in me. Great stories about that. I love the shape of West Virginia. I always had. Mayland enoyisme but WVA is soo coool.<br><br>All this talk about hunters remindes me when I found a hanycap hunting trail in Indiana. There was a sign ost with both a hunting symbol on the hanycap symbol on it.

Ok, here is the summary of WV.<br>1) there are stray chimineys and outhouses EVERYWHERE! Houses that have been demolished, while leaving one, or both, of those two things are everywhere.<br>2) of you have a neighbor within 1/4 a mile of your house, you live in a 'neighborhood'. (i'm use to the "walk 50 feet" and your on your neighbors front porch" thing)<br>3) cell phones don't work in over 3/4ths of the state. your lucky if you can get any reception at all, let alone good reception<br>4) the landscape is very scenic, but drab when there is no greenery or lively foliage to lifen things up<br>5) it is possible for two parties to trade a jeep for 5 dozen eggs! well ,it wasn't exactly a "trade", persay, but one party gave a second a jeep, and in return the first party recieved 5 dozen eggs!<br>6) "Chicken Parts" factories stink, litterally. <br>7) if any living area has two main roads, it's called a 'city'<br>8) pizza places are everywhere, and it's pretty good. a small one street town had three differant pizza places. Go figure!<br>9) i saw for the very first time a RadioShack that was ACTUALLY A SHACK! the store had everything, and ended up being a social gathering place. You could buy live bait, food, and fishing equipment, as well as everything else at any radioshack elseware.<br>10) there are people with a total of 3 front teeth that think that because they own a moded 84 hotrod car, that they will get married soon, without having a current fiance/girfriend.<br>11) miniature dobermans are absolutely adorable, and at full size are half the size of a miniature dachsund. <br>12) last but not least, holding a front screen door closed at night with giant, humongous rubber band and attatching it to the front wooden door is acceptable practice.<br><br>thats pretty much the trip as a whole... except i saved you all the amount of time driving around that I had to do with my ciblings!

In reaction to #5, one of my friend's father got a rusted out Chevy Vega for a turkey sub once. Not a bad trade, I say.

Norse, thats why i did say it was sceninc. I fully understand that it was because i went in winter! well, i'll be going for summer too at SOME point, although thats a good bit away. some other oddities that i saw in a store in WV that really doesn't have anything to do with the state itself. Everyone knows of the game: Monopoly. Well, most also know that there have been countless takes of this game, such as "star wars" monopoly, "simpsons" monopoly, and "broadway" monopoly. Well, i saw yet another strange take on that game, called "Cat-Opoly". monopoly, but everything dealing in some way or another to cats. An even stranger iteration and continuation of this was "Cat-in-the-Hat-Opoly", where everything was Dr. Sues. just an interesting side note!
