4-6 seconds from point A to point B and when you get to point B, be pissed off

Hopefully the fires never reach the stills, because  things could get very ugly.

To err is human. Really sucking requires having yellow stripes on your helmet.

Funny you mention that. I'm going there in December. Read both books on it. I am ridiculously fascinated by that whole event.

New slogan for the United Hillbilly College Fund: "A 27 year-old beer and urine soaked couch is a terrible thing to waste."

It's about time to start up a discount couch emporium in Morgantown.

And in Lexington, KY for basketball season....

People are saying that I'm an alcoholic, and that's not true, because I only drink when I work, and I'm a workaholic.

Painterlad: LOL.

Except, based on my few encounters in Morgantown, it's not usually the offspring of "mountain folk" who light the fires and generally cause the problems. Rather, it's the Jersey Shore/Philadelphia variety - i.e., many of the same types that make the PSU fan base so lovely.

I know, I know, I'm making unfair generalizations . . .

Sometimes generalizations are TRUTH though Fido. I thought the same thing about PSU for many years.

Jesus Christ, the mob brought down a telephone pole that was still electrified and threw it in the fire.  Barbaric.  Although this is the same state that has a roadkill festival.

It's a shame. We are looking for a small apartment sized couch for the mother-in-law. Could have made an offer on one of them. Pre-ignition of course. But then again, thinking about the use of said couches, maybe not.

Watch out for bedbugs dude. I personally would not take any used furniture at this point with how bad they are in Columbus right now.

I was just about to say, "Maybe they did it to get rid of bedbugs."

That's more like it.  Burning only 10 couches last week was weak, they had to step up their game for this week.

Class of 2010.

I hope I never have to set foot in that state again, including just driving through it

One of the most depressing places I've ever been

I have to drive through it every year for school. I-77 is such a bore.

I know someone who was a student at WVU and they would steal couches left at the Salvation Army. Her father (brother...who knows) liked to go help her do this!!!

Anyone that has ever started a fire knows you need good kindling.

I have ZERO interest in ever going to Morgantown.  Obviously, they aren't the only school that has stuff like this happen.  UK did last spring, Ohio State when they clinched the Fiesta Bowl wasn't a nice scene either.  Miami of Ohio and Ohio U usually seem to have some sort of cop car burning ceremony every year or 2.  BUT this seems like a weekly event in Morgantown.

Reminds me of Columbus during the 96 season.

Beat Penn State?  Start a fire.

Lose to Michigan?  Start 2 fires!
