West Virginia (WTF?)

Post by EarlJam » June 17th, 2009, 3:06 pm

Looks very similar to Afghanistan. Was John Denver in on this? Mountain Mamas or Mountain Mullahs. You decide.

Dude, I've totally been saying this since 1996. I mentioned it to my 9th grade worldwide geography teacher, and have been pointing it out ever after.
I'm completely serious.

What was his/her reaction? Was the observation appreciated? It should have been.

Also, notice how most of the large islands in the world are located just off the southeast part of the continents? Oh sure, there are exceptions, but as a general rule they are. Madagascar, Sri Lanka, Cuba and New Zealand are a few good examples. I guess that's not as odd though since it's likely more of a matter of physics, but the West Virginia thing, that's just down right scary.

If your geography teacher did not appreciate the observation, or acted the least bit suspicious, he/she is likely a terrorist.

Uh, John Denver wrote the song "Take Me Home, Country Roads." The first line is "Almost heaven, West Virginia. . ."

Wanna hear something sicker? My first concert was Huey Lewis with Stevie Ray Vaughn. I couldn't give a rat's behind about Stevie. I wanted to see the MAN! HUEY! That's just wrong. If Vaughn were still alive today, my approach to that concert would be the exact opposite. Stevie was "The Man" between those two (though I have nothing against Huey.

I'm still really comfortable with John Denver as my first concert. I think the man was an amazing songwriter, and I like his earnest musical style as well. I still listen to him roughly three times a month. I contend that if the right person would cover a few of his songs today, they could definitely be hits again.
And if you tell me that the John Denver/Muppets Christmas special and album are anything less than brilliant, then off with your head. Right, Lavabe?

Wow! Not even walk the plank, straight to "off with your head."

I played Annie's Song with John Denver. Well, the record was playing and I tooted my flute along with the record. I say it counts. ;)
