College towns are exempt.

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

There's probably exceptions to this (e.g., Ed's Rule), but for the most part, I would say that's a fair assumption.

Clinchfield had at least one F-Unit that had a Hancock Airwhistle (ex-L&N?), and I believe NH also used these on their modified Fs. :)

Cheers!

WV hands down, I live in PA and family sprawled across the state, and they are screwed up, but....WV, oh man..

Top 5th crazest night of my life was down in WV. (I blacked out on the top 4 so maybe they don't count?)


That night included:
Drinking in a converted tractor dealer, called oddly enough..the 'Tractor Bar', yet only setting us back a grand total of $5 for 4 hours between the 3 of us, oh and my friends dog, but he just sat on the floor drinking water.

Having all three women at the bar (one being the bartender) flash us (since we were a bunch of nice outta town-ers.) But sadly not wanted to see any of them any less naked as even beer goggles were of no help.

Sampling moonshine in the same said bar from the friendliest one eyed bootlegger you'd ever meet, which we later found out had only one leg too, when my friend borrowed my truck to follow him back to his house to buy a couple mason jars. He rode this 3 wheeled motorcycle that looked like it had a V6 engine stuffed in the middle. When he proceeded to dismount this 'bike' at his home he crashed to the ground, and off came his leg, with my friend grabbing it and not knowing how on earth to help the poor guy out. Later he accused him of being with the AFT, but sold him the goods anyway.

Meanwhile back at the bar my other friend and I get offers for some 'hillbilly herion', no thanks. When my friend returns we get talked into going back to one of the girls house who was having a 'Boat' party. At the house we later find out that a boat party in WV is when you pull off the tarp of the boat in the front yard jump in and start drinking  ( or keep drinking as the case maybe)

After leaving the boat party, mostly over fear that she might have a husband and he just might show up, we stop at a more contemporary bar, since why did we want to call it a night at that point. More drinks later and a brief visit by the WV finest while in the parking lot calling home to my then finance, we watched 4 random (if there such a thing in WV) girls do the most bazaar stunts with hula hoops while the band played.

Somehow we make back to where we were camping at 3am.
