This is the kind of religious news that I like

Hold up, Mothman statue?

It's along the dirt road at the old quarry. I've only ever been able to find it at night, and it seems to be in different places for some reason. Well crafted though, almost feels like it follows you.

Point Pleasant, OH. Never been but it sounds cool. TLDR; Mothman is a cryptid capable of telepathy and flight. Stands 7ft tall with a 10ft wingspan. He is a harbinger of doom when he was sighted on a bridge before it collapsed. Supposedly a mutant born around an abandoned military facility.

Well, I for one, welcome our new overlord

That might be the best looking statue I've ever seen in the genre of local cryptid statues

I see we skipped right on by the elusive tradition of WV'ers burning fucking couches.
PostalHeathen
I think that's specifically a WVU thing.

WV had a region specific pepperoni roll they are known for? I had no idea! I need to go to WV.

Think of it as the Cornish pasty of Appalachia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepperoni_roll

I went to a meeting in WV once. Bunch of dudes in suits sitting in a conference room with fucking handguns on their belts. Weirdest shit I've ever seen.
ClutterMonkey
Bet it was a very civil meeting.
PostalHeathen
That's unusual even by WV standards.

So far as I know, the pepperoni roll is itself a West Virginia invention, and is about the closest thing to a state food you'll find here. It started out as something coal miners' wives made for their husband's lunches. Made properly, it's simple, tasty, and filling.

I’m reading about it now. It reminds me of what I used to eat in Philly during holidays and big games. If mayo is unacceptable is ranch acceptable?
PostalHeathen
Personally, I'd say eat it any way you like. For me, the simplicity of the pepperoni roll is what I like. The more you add to it, the less you end up with.

Those are some terrible looking pepperoni rolls. The ones I grew up on (northern panhandle area) were little loafs of bread with pep and cheese. Very soft and pillowy....
PostalHeathen
Also, a proper pepperoni roll shouldn't be cut in half prior to serving like that.
PostalHeathen
I thought the same thing. The ratio of bread to pepperoni is way off on those.
KungofBees
Starting to wonder if these are just strombolis or something. Never saw pizza sauce served with a pepperoni roll either.

If so, then whichever intern at the local news station picked the photo needs to spend more time at DiCarlo's.
