It's funny as he!! and quite true from my experiences.

My bil won't drink in front of his parents. He's in his mid 30s. My sister hides the beer when the visit...and they live 'round the corner.

(btw: everything is "'round the corner" or "up the road" in Texas....even Dallas is just up the road from me)


I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

O'hana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

Kimmy,

My brother in SAT says that if you want company, you open the garage door...if not, leave it closed.

And that everyone wants to talk about the grass in SAT.

"What you got in there?"

you would then reply as to the seed you used

"Oh yes, I tried that last year, didn't grow worth beans for me. This fall I'm going to try this other kind..."

And so on and so forth.

All about the grass seed.

I thought that was very funny, that people have conversations entirely about grass seed.

Yeah. Have HAD those convos.

You start out with ryegrass, btw....then you graduate to something more permanent....Ryegrass is just "starter lawn".

(hehe)

Hi Mel.

I always thought if I ever did a road house, I'd do cement floors, cement walls, and cement benches and tables. Then at closing time, you could just bring in a fire hose, and wash up. Wouldn't even need a bouncer.

Hi Dru -
Oh no, wait.......... she's not even here.

Hi Kimmy.

Howdy Folks,

When Dru gets here tell her that I laughed and laughed at her joke...and that I got it right away...

ALL BAPTISTS DO NOT READ THE NEXT SENTENCE...

I drink alcoholic beverages from time to time. Shhhhh...

Like to see one of those - it could be interesting.

Teasing aside, glad it's mostly good.

Hey Weaver...

I was just telling someone how that I had to be educated about exactly what a "Spring Jacket" was when I first moved here...and "Winter Break"...Um, huh? I also brag that in the 10 years that I have been FORCED to live here as a POW of "The War of Northern Aggression" that I have NEVER owned a pair of snow boots-I've never fallen either...We are moving back as soon as we sell our house, so I just may make it too! I have, however, gotten stuck in my own driveway more than a few times...grrr! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Mrs. W<~~~You can take the girl outta the South...yada, yada, yada...

Still true,dat! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I spent seven hours a week at church till I was 16! S. Baptist <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Five on Sunday, and two more on Wednesdays, just so it sticks! Sometimes I could get out of it if I slept over with one of my Catholic friends and went to church with their family. They always looked like they were having so much more fun. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

Belly-up, ladies, gents. It's Friday <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

[color:"blue"] Texans in Heaven

Gabriel came to the Lord and said " I have to talk to you. We have some Texans up here in Heaven who are causing problems!

They're swinging on the pearly gates, my horn is missing, barbecue sauce is all over their robes, their dogs are riding in the chariots, and their wearing baseball caps and cowboy hats instead of their halos. They refuse to keep the stairway to Heaven clean. There are watermelon seeds and pig feet bones all over the place. Some of them are walking around with just one wing."

The Lord said, "I made them special, Gabriel. Heaven is Home to all my children. If you really want to know about real problems, let's call the Devil."

The Devil answered the phone, " Hello? Damn, hold on a minute."

The Devil returned to the phone, "O.K., I'm back. What can I do for you?"

The Lord replied, "I just want to know what kind of problems you're having down there."

The Devil said, "Hold on again. I need to check on something."

After about 5 minutes the Devil returned to the phone and said, "I'm back. Now what was the question?"

The Lord said, "What kind of problems are you having down there?"

The Devil said, "Man, I don't believe this....Hold on, Lord."

This time the Devil was gone 15 minutes. The Devil returned and said , "I'm sorry Lord, I can't talk right now. Them damn Texans done put out the fire and are trying to install air conditioning." [/color] <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[color:"blue"]Survivor Texas Style


Due to the popularity of the Survivor shows, Texas is planning to do its own, entitled Survivor - Texas Style. The contestants will start in Dallas, travel to Waco, Austin, San Antonio, over to Houston and down to Brownsville. They will then proceed up to Del Rio, on to El Paso, then to Midland, Odessa, Lubbock and Amarillo. From there, they'll proceed to Abilene, Ft. Worth and finally back to Dallas.

Each will be driving a pink Volvo with a bumper sticker that reads, "I'm gay, I'm a vegetarian, I voted for Al Gore, George Strait Sucks, Hillary in 2008, and I'm here to confiscate your beer and guns!"

The first one to make it back to Dallas alive wins.[/color] <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Funny!

I hope Mel gets the "voted for Al Gore" and "Hillary 2008"...oh my, way too funny!

I'm making Garbage Can cookies tonight Dru, that is my big Friday night.

I have been soaking the cherry flavored, dried cranberries in a dry red wine for a few days though!...that is my Friday night twist on the cookies.

The Texans probably don't understand that, but no matter...making them that way anyway.

Mrs. W - I hope your feet get stuck in a big snow bank this year, and your shoe falls off inside the snowbank!

That'll teach you to be Southern way up here! LOL

[color:"blue"]Tall Tales
Three cowboys are sitting around a campfire, out on a lonesome Texas prarie, each with the bravado for which cowboys are famous. A night of tall tales begins.

The first one says, "I must be the meanest, toughest cowboy there is. Why, just the other day a bull got loose in the corral and gored six men before I wrestled it to the ground by the horns with my bare hands."

The second cowboy can't stand to be bested. "Why that's nothing. I was walking down the trail yesterday and a fifteen-foot rattlesnake slid out from under a rock and made a move for me. I grabbed that snake with my bare hands, bit its head off and sucked the poison down in one gulp. And I'm still here today."

The third cowboy remained silent, quietly stirring the coals with his penis. [/color]
