A state that is one of the only four "commonwealths" in the United States. It was the first western state, being settled in the 1770s, and becoming a state in 1792. It currently has the Nation's 16th largest city: Louisville, with around 690,000 people. The Commonwealth is famous for it's bourbon, coal mining, beautiful thoroughbred horses, pretty girls, rich Civil War and frontiers history, The Hatfield-McCoy Feud, Barbecue (in Owensboro), Corvettes, Bluegrass music, some of the country's finest soldiers ever produced, and it's major role in the Underground Railroad.
Following the end of the Civil War, Kentucky began to be corrupted by a handful of pro-Southern Confederate soldiers who returned to Kentucky and somehow got control of the state legislature, the courts, etc. These ex-Confederate Rebel "leaders" manipulated a large portion of the more than one million residents of the Commonwealth into thinking like them, getting involved in their culture, and everything else representative of exclusively The South. These are the same people (Confederates) who led destructive raids through the state that resulted in the destruction of rail lines and bridges, burning and plundering of private property, businesses, barns, etc., and sometimes even the harrassment of the local citizenry. Not to mention that the Southerners and pro-Southern Kentuckians were the ones who started the War in the Bluegrass by first treading upon neutral (and mainly Unionist) soil, and threatening the safety and lives of Kentuckian families.

Yes, harassment of citizens and destruction of property occurred in the Southern states (doesn't include Kentucky), but the difference was that these were Southern, Confederate states, and the majority of the citizens there were against the Union and the North. Kentucky was not like this, so it was rather unethical and wrong for that political and cultural shift to happen.

The southernmost state in The North or Midwest. It is both a state AND a commonwealth. The Bluegrass State (nickname) is slandered and bashed by cynical, judgemental, and ignorant types such as Disabled Dan. What a compassionate, loving human being he really is.

Get the kentucky mug.In order to perform a Kentucky Pickle Jar, one must have access to Churchill Downs on the first Saturday in May. Following the completion of the Kentucky Derby, one must locate the winning horse’s stall. Collection of the winning horse’s fecal matter is mandatory. After aforesaid feces are collected, one then locates a southern belle. Once the requisite southern belle is located, one must take the previously collected fecal matter and smear it nice and thick on the southern belle’s labia. Immediately afterwards, one must locate a frozen pickle; the crunchy variety is highly recommended. Take the frozen pickle and repeatedly plunge the horse fecal matter into the southern belle’s vaginal orifice. Congratulations! You have now created a Kentucky Pickle Jar. Tell your mom; she’s sure to be awfully proud.
Bryan was getting a little bored with Rebecca in bed but he loved her very much. So he decided to spice things up a bit by calling her Norma Sue and having her call him Cletus. That wasn't nearly enough, so he figured he'd perform the Kentucky Pickle Jar on her. She's into some kinky things, so it wasn't surprising that she loved it! Unfortunately, she decided to attempt to snowball him after all was said and done. She missed! Rugh roh!
