Kentucky
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
Famous for Horses, Bourbon, Tobacco, and basketball.
The Kentucky Derby is run in Louisville, KY. on the first Saturday in May. It is a race for 3 year old horses and is run at a distance of 1 1/4 miles. Winners of this race go on to become high priced stud horses and live like kings on the sprawling horse farms of central Kentucky.
Bourbon is a finer form of whiskey produced from a concoction consisting of over 51% corn mash that is stored in 'charred white-oak barrels'. It is the charred wood that gives bourbon its distinctive color and mellow flavor. It may also be responsible for the devestating hangovers that bourbon drinking produces.
Tobacco is the second most important cash crop in Kentucky, the first is marijuana. It is illegal to produce marijuana in Kentucky, but several farmers knowingly and unknowingly have marijuana growing amongst the tobacco and other crops on their farms.
Basketball is religeon in Kentucky. College basketball in particular. The University of Kentucky mens basketball team is the winningest program in history. In Kentucky, a pervert is often described as one who enjoys sex more than basketball.
