Seventeen-year-old Domonique Ramirez claimed pageant officials in Texas had told her to "get off the tacos".
Only in San Antonio :laugh4:
Granted She is cute, but beauty queen material?....then again it is San Antonio :laugh4:

If you're in business of promoting your own beauty, I think it is justified for your employers (I guess this boils down to some kind of employment contract?) to expect that you take reasonable steps to stay that way.
You know what, she is "queen" for a year. Unless it is something extreme, deal with it, you'll have a new one next year.
Obviously the judge agreed in the end that she had not violated the contract, as it was written. The contract is everything, and I have seen many poorly written contracts...what you want to bet it is changed next year?
Ms Woods described the verdict as an "injustice for the city of San Antonio".
Oh, get over yourself. These people think the universe revolves around them.
During the week-long trial, pageant director Linda Woods said...
I don't care what she said...a week long trial?!? That is just absurd. There is the real injustice for the city of San Antonio...that the taxpayers had to pay for a judge & court staff to preside over this for a week.

They would have had more luck taking her title by accusing her of eating too many "fish tacos".

At least she had sufficient intelligence to decipher a contract, a thing alone that makes her deserve the title for a little longer. (After all, how many people can with a hand on their heart say they “understand” the fine print of many contracts they're basically forced to accept for lack of options, day to day?)

How is this "business" different to prostitution?

So is prostitution :clown:
At least in a lot of the world...
All this fighting over crowns and whatnot reminds me of medieval Europe

You must be confused, this is a thread about Texas. When you are in Texas, there is no such thing as a place that is not Texas. Well, I suppose there's everything that's outside of Texas (aka Negatexas), but that place is filled with boiling oceans of blood which are infested by rabid sharkeels. It's not the kind of place you want to raise a family, or shop for hookers.

I think you may be on to something...the former colonies all have crown-envy.

First laugh I've had all week. :bow:

Maybe they could sate it by crowing their President?

Hey Texas people, can anyone tell me some interesting stuff to do in Waco? Or give me some recommendations for good places to eat? Work is sending me there for a week. They all tell me it's super boring and to put lots of games on my iPad to keep me occupied.

I heard that in some spots in Texas (and Oklahoma, as I heard this from oil industry folks) there's a pretty girl (or guy) behind every tree.
The trick is finding a tree.

Shirley there must be a good barbeque place or something in Waco. When/if I do visit Texas or Oklahoma, trying some barbeque ribs is on my to-do list.

It's not so bad, it'll definitely help my chances of getting promoted at work. :D From what I understand, it's really bad form to ask about David Koresh, so I guess I shouldn't do that.
Hopefully my hotel will have a gym so that at least I can work out.
Never been to Waco myself, but there might be stuff near the Baylor campus.

The one I've heard is, "All the pretty girls that aren't in California are still in Texas."
