A device that tells time; a descendant of the sundial, which was an ancient instrument that was used to tell time, employing the use of shadows and the sun. Today's clocks either come in the form of electronic, digital clocks with alarms; wall clocks powered by batteries that use the classic "hand" design; and watches of many designs and face colors, or has a chain connected to it and a click-closing lid, known as a pocketwatch. These watches are useful when you have to meet someone somewhere at a specific time.
1.) The clock on the wall says its 12:45.
2.) Are you kidding me? this watch is a classic! It's a Romex; they don't make Romex's anymore.

Get the Strom Thurmondmug. A popular cartoon T.V. dad on the FX show King of the Hill. He lives with his family Peggy (wife), Bobby (son), Ladybird (dog), and Luanne (niece) in the fictional Texas city of Arlen. He is a true, hard-working, tell-it-like-it-is American dad. His best friends are Dale Gribble, Bill, and Boomhower. Hank is more conservative and right-leaning, and, as a result, has greater family values and stronger morals than others. His friends tend to do stupid or mean things that often piss him off.
Hank: Dammit Dale! I'm gonna kick yer ass!
Me: Why does it always have to be about you and asses? (laughter)

Get the Hank Hillmug. A real man or woman; a true American patriot. Contrary to popular liberal belief, Red Staters (aka Republicans) are actually more open-minded and tolerant of things than they are given credit for. To begin, the overwhelming majority of them are NOT racist. There are tons of Democrats who are racist, however. (Keep this in mind, it was Democrats in the past who promoted mistreatment of black people, and wanted to keep slavery alive. There are many white democrats today who still despise blacks. Yes, it is TRUE.)
Next, we believe in women's rights. We believe that women have every right to leave the home, get a college degree, become successful and get a job, etc. To say otherwise about our stand on women's rights is BULLSHIT. Also, Red Staters (or Republicans) do NOT go around committing hate crimes on racial minorities, homos, lesbians, or non-Christians. (Just so you know, I have fellow devoutly-Republican friends who are ATHEISTS!!! AND, I don't criticize them for it, either.) You people fail to realize that there are millions of Republicans who are actually racial minorities. These include asians, Native Americans, Hispanics, subcontinient Asian Indians, and even a few black people. There are also Jewish Republicans. Yes, there are; there is plenty of evidence to support the fact that there are people of every single one of those previously-mentioned groups within the Republican Party.

The Red Staters are attacked and accused of things that most of them are not or that they haven't ever done. Don't call us brain-washed; you people all seem to believe the stereotypes about us, without having any evidence to back it up (and you call yourselves free-thinkers.) You all just blindly follow the words and commentary of figures like Ted Kennedy, Diane Feinstein, John Kerry, and Michael Moore.

-Are usually more hospitable, especially in the mountains of the South, or the massed farms of the Midwest.

I went down to eastern Tennessee and saw a bunch of hillbilly-ish people, but they were all nice to me, and they were all wearing shoes. I heard some talking about how stupid the KKK was...

Get the Hicksmug. One of the largest and longest-lengthed rivers on the continent of North America. It runs from the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania all the way to the very southern tip of Illinois at a town called Cairo, whereupon it pours out into the Mighty Mississippi River.
It covers a length of well over 300 miles and creates the northern border for Kentucky and West Virginia, separating them from the rest of Midwest. This major waterway has been the lifesource for the people who have resided in this large Ohio River Valley since the dawn of the 1800s, and the Native Americans who predominantly occupied the region beforehand. The riverboat traffic on the Ohio as well as the major freshwater source was the number one reason for the development of such huge cities and large towns along the Ohio River. See Owensboro, Evansville, Cincinnati, Huntington, and Louisville.

The Ohio River as been used in trafficking supplies of natural resources like coal to other areas, as well as troop transports during the War of 1812 and the Civil War.
