WV

We watched "We are Marshall" the other day. It's a fine movie. Matthew McConaughey does a fine job of playing a somewhat weird guy. But our favorite part was the 5 minute long West Virginia commercial at the beginning of the DVD. It details the wonderful mountains, outdoors, and whatnot that WV has to offer. I've never been to WV, but I'm sure there are some beautiful places. But someone apparently didn't think through the line that went something like this: "West Virginia's mountains, valleys and rivers were made for golfing." I kid you not. They said that. (Well, I wrote down the line word for word, but then accidentally threw out the scrap of paper. But that's really quite close to what they said.) So next time you're in WV, grab a 9-iron, wade out into a river and hit a bucket of balls. It's what the river was made for, after all.
