Mingo?

[backseatdriver]

For the USAFE guys (or anyone who knows) - where'd this name come from?

[M2]

Who gives a shit? I want to know if he is Rumsfeld's brother-in-law (rumor is their wives are sisters...)

Seriously, he is from Williamson, West Virginia, which is in Mingo county. It is a "tribute" to his home state.

Try not to when you read this...

To borrow from my favorite Abercrombie & Fitch shirt, "It's all relative in West Virginia!"

MINGO CHECK!

Y'all check six and keep up your Mach!

And remember to check three and nine, too!

Anyone know what people from West Virginia do on Halloween?

I can offer up these jokes I suppose since I was born there...

OK, I'll bite, what?

BTW, I have ridden through WVA several times on my motorcycle going to W-P AFB, I found the scenery to be beautiful and the people to be really friendly. As a matter of fact, before I met Mingo, I really had nothing against the state!
