At you age, you can always become an eccentric.

I always figured that if I lose too many teeth, I could always move to
the hills in West Virginia where that's more common.

Yes! The bible belt (mountains of several states) are full of super
religious people. If I ever move there, I'll have to pretend to be very
religious.

There's a tiny bible belt in the Netherlands too. Fundamentalist
Reformed Protestants. Scary people. They go by the nickname "Black
Stockings".

A bit like the 'Wee Frees' in Scotland?

I had to look them up. They're Presbyterians. I believe that's the most
doom and gloom branch of Protestantism and they'd have that in common
with the Black Stockings. "We're born sinners and regardless of how we
live our lives, sinners we will always remain." Real party animals.

Fundi Dutch Protestants love schisms. If they disagree about some
religious dogma ("How many angels fit on the tip of a pin?"), they
throw another schism. So they all have their little churches and sub
churches and sub churches of sub churches. Every sub church knows
better than the other sub churches.

Oh and covid vaccinations are frowned upon. It's up to the Lord whether
we get covid, not up to some heathen scientists and their vaccinations.
They still have cases of polio because of those views.

Enjoy!

Why not? That is what most of the rest of them do. You don't drink so
you won't have to drive to another town to buy alcohol.

Hey now... I live close enough that I resent that! Haha I'm a 3 minute
drive to the WV panhandle. I have relatives down south... it's
absolutely beautiful to drive through the Appalachians. In all
seriousness, some of the stereotypes do live on in that area, especially
the southern part of the state. See the Whitakers in the below video...
inbred family living in Odd, WV (actual town name).
