Something funny for those from Fairmont/Marion County

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

Something funny for those from Fairmont/Marion County

Post by J. Fox »

These were taken from a group on the social networking site Facebook. The group is called "You know you're from Fairmont when..." I think a few of these are funny.

You know you're from Fairmont when...

- You've thought about suicide by jumping off the third street bridge.

- When you consider "town".. past the Village Pantry.

- When you count down the days until Dairy Cream Corner opens.

- When going to the Tygart Valley Cinema is considered a date.

- When you drive through the knob you duck for fear of a drive by shooting.

- When you consider Valley Falls a National Park.

- When the only famous person to come out of fairmont was Mary Lou Retton who doesn't even consider it her home town.

- If you remember "Hills".

- When you return from the Middle Town Mall you return with a Taco, A pet lizard, and a shirt from GoodWill.

- When you've been to every bar.. (there's only two.)

- When the biggest event of the year is the east/west football game and you only go to see the band.

- When you make the long loop from west to east to south fairmont counting padiddles and stealing road cones.

- When you want to be a valid member of the burger king car club.

- When its 2 a.m. and your wasted, mom's place karaoke sounds enlightening.

- When whether you break down, your farm animals are sick, or your nose is stuffed up, you go to chik's and find everything you need.

- When at least one part of your vehicle is dangling or fallen off due to jumping the infamous West Side Hump by the bus lot.

- When you know the name of every single person in your school... and half of them are your cousins.

- When you think of wave tech as more of a small scale Disney World.

- When there is a church and a high life lounge by every stop sign.

- You order a dozen Yan dogs with just sauce knowing darn well you'll put ketchup on em when you get home.

- When you drive past Mannington and you actually thank God that your from Fairmont.

- When Murials is considered a 5 Star Restraunt.

- You're gourmet grocery stores are five Shop N' Save's.

- You would literally piss your self just to not go to the bathrooms at the downtown movie theater.

- When the only place you can get a job is at Aegis.

- When you walk out of warehouse grocery with a 35 cent faygo and a birthday card.

- When Gabes is a Department Store.

- When you drive down "Speed Way" and the speed limit is 25 mph and everyone is going atleast 55mph


- When you see your Driver's Ed. teacher out at the bars drinking and driving.

- When you need to go to the hospital but you would rather bleed to death than be caught dead in Fairmont General.

- When you know better than to walk into the "Mountaineer Mart"

- At every corner you either see a hotdog stand or high life lounge and sometimes both

- When the new Wal Mart employs over half the town
