Have you been to Grafton? What is a dog-bottom? Where is nowhere? You sure lump a lot of pejoratives into a single post.

You imply that since Grafton isn't in your neighborhood, it is nowhere. I would imagine that the fine folks that call it home there may disagree. Big cities don't all have sky scrapers. I live in Martinsburg, WV most of the year. It qualifies as "big" to most of the folk from Grafton.

I used to live in a small NC town. I always heard the Burgaw (NC) was an Indian word meaning "mud hole". It was a standing joke among locals. But, don't let a stranger say anything about it.

It's sort of like racial name-calling and epithets. It's always easy to call a kettle black! But, glass bowls reveal what's inside, like glass houses. Most of us would rather soot things up.

I am not as much of a conspiracy theorist. If I was, I would speculate that the President of the United States was in cahoots with the interests of another country!

You clearly misunderstood my comment, which was in response to the idea that a "big city guy" would travel to Grafton, WV to stock up on pre-paid cell phones for his big city corner business.

From the perspective of any person from a big city, Grafton, WV really is in the middle of nowhere -- there are no big cities close to there. (BTW, "dog-bottom nowhere" is just my way to emphasize remoteness -- no perjorative intended.)
