Shoes? What’re those?

Via Pajamas Media, the Dominion Post has a story about the invasion of Atlanta by West Virginia “hillbillies”:

To the surprise of many of the sophisticated big-city slickers — and make no mistake, this a big city; the Yellow Pages need to be broken into two phone books of nearly 2,000 pages — darn near every one of the 25,000 WVU fans expected in this city will be wearing shoes.

They weren’t expecting that here. Truth be told, when they learned that Morgantown’s most famous citizen was Barney Fife … well, you can imagine what they imagined would be invading their town for Monday night’s Sugar Bowl.

Just because they’re wearing shoes doesn’t disqualify them from being hillbillies, does it?

A wise man will desire no more than what he may get justly, use soberly, distribute cheerfully, and leave contentedly.
