Nice to see my home state featured in a positive light. I grew up there but have lived most of my life in Maryland which I also love.
I'm here to tell ya, I went up to KY once and there wasn't no gals like the ones I saw in this movie. All were big and or hard to look at. Every one.
Welfare has ruined their figures.
When America was actually great.
Yeah, through those rose tinted glasses. I for one am QUITE glad I don't have to dress in a full suit and tie just to eat my own dinner.
@@MarioMastar ok, well then don’t. No problems
I like Kentucky just fine but I like Tenn. better, I got some people there.
Kentucky is nice, but Tennessee is better. :D
@keith moore lol. I'm over here in Morgan Co. Nothing here very noteworthy except a bunch of Amish that relocated about 10 year ago. I stay the hell away from them snobby ass tourists over there to the extreme east. Knoxville is about as far east as I can tolerate lol.
@keith moore yes they can. They are some of the most sneaky people
Was this before KFC was invented?
