Listen, those Austin folk are definitely weird. No doubt it stems from never getting enough water. Ever tried to get a drink of water out of the faucet there?? It DRIBBLES OUT! Lots of foolishness in that part of Texas.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Hey Pep, I have not read all of the pages of this, but in case no one has told you Kinky has been funning or should I say running for office since the early 70's. So far his record is unblemished <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> , but he keeps trying. I must say the only fun I have had living in CA is having Arnuld for Gov. This state just doesn't have enough sense of humor to have a Kinky Freidmann and his Texas Jewboys running around. If we had a really good sense of humor and focus we would have elected Arnuld, gotten rid of the Lt. Gov. and elected the stripper/porn star. Then we could have a ticket representative of the entertainment this state is famous for. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> Must go. JL PS: Was recently in Mich. There were some long faces when I was introduced as a UT alum. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Surely that thong fella is a yankee or a foreigner?! Probably ITALY! You know he would get beat up any other place in Texas but silly Austin <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> for walking around like a fool in public. How long would he last at Billy Bob's??
And like Bubba told me onct, if you are from north o' the Red River, you might as well be EYE-TALIAN, because foreign is foreign!

OK, here's another one.... Although I am not feeling very jovial right now...started pack my house up for the move - lots of triggering goin' on.... <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" /> YOU KNOW YOU ARE IN TEXAS IN JULY WHEN...... The best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance. Hot water now comes out of both taps. You can make instant sun tea. You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron. The temperature drops below 95 and you feel a little chilly. You discover that in July it only takes 2 fingers to steer your car. You discover that you can get sunburned through your car window. You actually burn your hand opening the car door. You break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m. Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?" You realize that asphalt has a liquid state. The birds have to use pot holders to pull worms out of the ground. The potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out and add butter, salt, and pepper. Farmers feed their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs. The cows are giving evaporated milk. TM

You Texan's sure do carry on. TM - do you think you can come up with a little more Texan propaganda? You've been a bit lacking in that department. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> Ark - I can't think of that Neil Young song you are referring to. The only song I can think of about Texas is Glen Campbel's "Galvanston". That was a purdy song. Drucilla - you're name alone is enough to intimidate me. What is up with that name???? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> Look at Dalson coming out of the woodwork just because his beloved Texas is mentioned. As Pepperband would say "WAHWAHWAH". I do love John Wayne movies though..."Giant" oh yes. Too bad John Wayne wasn't really from Texas, was he?

Do ya Missy? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> Oh well I'ld love to stay here all day acting silly, but hiho hiho it's off to work I go.

You know you are in Texas when one day you see 5 inches of snow on the ground (which it hasn't snowed here in 100 + years) and the next day it is 65 degrees! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> Now that's TEXAS! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

mel- ease up on the north of the red river jab, some of us are north of the red river and still in texas- and noway nohow am i e-taliyun or anything but TEXAN! weaver-your just jealous dealan-d i remember when i was a kid and visited my mom in your fair city for x-mas i think in like the early 80's, it got so cold that the canal behind her house froze. the heater was acting goofy (hadnt been on in years) the people next door had been out on the bay and gathered like 3 55 gallon drums full of trout and reds, that the cold had killed. i had looked forward to that trip for a month and this stinkin panhandle weather followed me! i think ill post a west texas sunset on the photo thread. no i better not there is too many outsiders moving in already. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Anyone knows ... when 'someone' has to brag about how BIG their state is ... well, it's obvious they are 'compensating' for something small. Pep <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
