Get the lemming mug.Lexington, VA is a small town in southwestern Virginia. It basically survives because of it's historical background and the two schools there : Washington and Lee University and Virinia Military Institute.
W&L is a small, prestegious liberal arts school that boasts a remarkably homegenous student body which is overwhelmingly white, middle to upper class, polo-short-popped-collar wearing preps. Stores such as Pumpkinseeds and Alvin-Dennis survive BECAUSE the W&L students are there to buy their designer clothes.
VMI is home to the poor "veemies" who have horrible rules and curfews to live by and can only watch in longing as hundreds of w&l students skip between cocktail and frat parties, and comme home shwaysted at any hour of the day/night.
"Townies" are everyone else. They are often wierd.

The Tesco Value Lemming is the natural evolution of the ordinary lemming, sped up by the effect of nuclear radiation from Tesco's main power source. The Tesco Value Lemming is blue and white, and leaps off doorsteps and low shelves.
Occasionally more daring ones can be bred which will jump off fences, windowsills or use tiny bikes to leap over pits of spikes or flames. They are generally taken as the alpha males of the group, or "shop floor", until the mis-judge a jump and plummet to their death in the frozen foods section.

Get the lexington mug.One of the greatest party towns in the nation. Home to some of the hottest college girls (most in a sorority) found anywhere, the University of Kentucky is one of the best in the nation, from my experience.
Lexington is home to some awesome places to hang out, ranging from Tolly Ho (best food in town) to clubs like Avio and The Dame, which have live music. I live just off campus, and attend UK. There is always something to do, especially on campus.
While Kentucky as a whole is considered the capitol of hillbillies, this references a 1800's-1900's stereotype that devolved to myth (except for supremely rural towns) in the early 60's at latest.
