I used to teach in this town: LOGGERS' JUBILEE INVITATIONAL LAWNMOWER RACELocal legend is that the races started with a drunken bet on who was the better driver and they couldn't settle it in cars because they were drunk. So they went home and got their mowers.

I have always wondered if it was possible to get a DUI while riding a horse. My farmer grandpa got a DUI on a bicycle after his license was taken away. I wonder if he wracked up some tractor DUIs before that. "Don’t drink and ride. A Kentucky man was charged with DUI after he was busted allegedly riding a horse while drunk, police said. State troopers were called to Betsy Lane, in Floyd County, on Tuesday to reports that an intoxicated man was atop a horse, the Floyd County Times reported. They found a shirtless Michael Kimmel astride a mare. He was wearing just boots, jeans and a cowboy hat." Pony keg cowboy! Kentucky man arrested after riding drunk on horseback: copsInteresting. It sounds like you can be charged if you are on top of the horse, but not if the horse is pulling you.

That is just stupid and the cops should be fired. if the police chief didnt fire them he should be fired also. If you are drunk on a horse causing problems then arrest for public intox. If you are on the road endangering others, arrest for endangering others. DUI is driving. It is not clever it is stupid. It is one of the reasons cops are thought so poorly of. They do idiotic stupid things then brag about it like it was smart.

Nope too far north and too many Yankees living in the Research Triangle for the state to be southern anymore.
Now South Carolina - yep.
NC is kind of like Florida, only instead of scientists and geeks, Florida has little blue haired Yankee grannies.
NW FL is still full of rednecks so it's a 50/50 state. North FL is Southern and South Fl is either Northern or foreign. I was born and raised in S FL to parents from the northeast. I tell everyone I am a geographic southerner now that I live in the real South.

I kid you not-there is a person in this town with a large red and white motorized Igloo cooler. It can only be full of beer. Why else would they be driving down the sidewalks in the summer.

Don't worry, we won't claim you. I barely give North Carolina credit for being southern. Nope too far north and too many Yankees living in the Research Triangle for the state to be southern anymore.
Now South Carolina - yep.

Most important, Florida has FLorida Man: www.esquire.com/news-politics/news/a40729/year-in-florida-man-2015/see #11.
