Texas is a sticky? Vermont I could understand, but Texas?
In any case, the one Texan I know is a gentleman amongst gentleman. Compassionate, generous, and anyone would be proud to have him as a friend.
So to my friend Bill in Rockwall, I say "Live free, live well, live long." :sunny:
Dude, I'm at Uni right now. I should be back on the 16-17th.Quote:

obviously it should have a stereotypical style/history/features forTexas, as opposed to the stereotypical style of the above region-and in the Texan Accent. :clown:
besides, its not as if they are that differenet; they are both considered "unique' by their respective countries standards.
Is Chuck Norris from Texas?
Texas has had a State Anthem for quite a while now: Texas, Our Texas.
Brings a tear to the eye, it does.
Texas is the reason we get no snow in the south.
Yes?
It snowed when I was there last December, but it didn't pile up. It suddenly got warm a few days later.Quote:

What about Minnesotta? All that Scandinavian blood?
Never been to Minnesota, but even the guys who hate Texas are always quick to point out the massive numbers of 'hot chicks' we have. I think it might be true cuz for the second time I'm living in a foreign state(I'm in the Army) and have a hard time understanding what dudes mean when they call so many women here 'hot'. Geeze Colorado's got a lot of ugly chicks. Or at least Colorado Springs does.Quote:

That's the Latino blood.
hey, Colorado can be hot too. i was there a few years ago in June and it was around 104F.Quote:

And in Colorado Springs the girls wear mini-skirts and the like to bars/clubs even in the dead of winter. And it's not just me saying that Texas has a lot of hot chicks. I'll say again: even the non-Texans who hate Texas say that Texas has a lot of hot chicks as compared to where they are from.
i dont hate Texas, i just doing like its weather.
I think this belongs right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sar5RX-BaZc

I'm starting to like Texas. I moved near the border and have been skirmishing across the state line to obtain high point beer, meet hawt Latino women and visit Dallas nudie bar. And also, erm, work.
Another convert.Quote:

I ask because The Miz (WWE) was on australian TV tonight and he just reinforces the stereotypes of all americans... Thankfully some 'merican members here sway me in the direction of thinking there may be some hope for ameriland.
I ask because I wouldnt want people to think I'm British. Would they want me to say such things as "shrimp" and possibly "on the barbie" in the same sentence?
An Australian? You kidding me? We'd expect you to party and to party hard. As far as expectations on anything else it would all be on an individual basis.
EDIT: and maybe the party hard thing is only just my own individual expectation.
Oh we party hard. Just the other day I finished of half a quiche and three glasses of viognier in a single afternoon (don't know what came over me, I was watching the Sunday Arts program and the Adelaide Ballet came on).
Yeah, well we know what Melbourne is the capital of.Quote:

The few Texans I have met have been charming, understated, generally well educated and with a liberal tolerant attitude. Of course I met them in London and Istanbul. Haven't met a real live rootin' tootin' (which means different things in Australian slang than it does in U.S., let me tell you) Texan on his home patch, although I did see that film about the Permian gridiron team.
Yep I know.Quote:

Some people equate Queensland with Texas, but really WA is a better western state analogue. Qld is more like Florida (schoolies, retirees, corruption) with a slice of Texas (ranching, mining, corruption) thrown in.
Well at least they have the Pev, that counts for a lot in my book.
Dear SFTS,
My girlfriend will be vacationing in San Antonio this week. Please try not to seduce her with your Texan masculinity. I can't compete with it. Also, recommendations for things to do in San Antonio for someone who is under 21 and allergic to peppers would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry about the late reply man, I just saw this.
Hmmmmm
If you are one for history you can go to the Alamo and the missons those are actually kind of cool esp the Alamo.
The rvierwak is a must for anyone
A trip to the hill country would be really nice, its very pretty
Enough muesuems to choke a horse
Market Square has alot of cool Mexican/cowboy stuff. Kind of a trap but still a nice taste of SA
I mean is there a specific thing you want to do? For first timers I would reccomend the river walk then a swing by the alamo and a day trip into the hill country but there is allot else to do to
As for food what's your posion? I can give you a few place.....however while the riverwalk is nice most of the food there isnt and the stuff that is costs milions
Only my girlfriend and her family are visiting. I'm unfortunately stuck in Wisconsin. They've already been to the Alamo and the Riverwalk but I'll pass on the market square and the hill country suggestions. Thank you very much.
Looks like China is getting hip to the Texas way of life. From Beijing:

The area around Austin just looks awesome, but the liberal tendencies of many people some there tend to collide with my philosophies. I went to Barton Springs one time, and it is AMAZING. Best place I've ever swam. You can see at least 15 feet down!
The world's love affair with Texas continues! Does the US even realise it is dependent on the Texas brand for its exports?Quote:

What's up Texas?
Sooo. I had some questions in this other thread....
Two people from Texas came up for a conference I went to for my job. They were here for two days, and it was some of the most beautiful weather this summer - 75 degrees and sunny on the ocean shore. They left, and the rains will probably come back tomorrow.
CR
The stars at night, are big and bright, deep in the heart of Texas!
I'd rather be a fence post in Texas than the king of Tennesse
The Alamo is, and always will be, near and dear to my heart! :)
Winter in Texas can change drastically. It could snow one day and then be warm enough to wear a t-shirt the next.
My car broke down in Texas.
In my rockin' '80s, REBEL REBEL's club tours included some Texas venues, including the Roxy in El Paso and The Upstairs Club in Abilene. We also played a club in Odessa, but I can't recall the name of it.
Aside from babes-a-licious and one particularly strange and delightful date, what I remember the most about the Roxy was the mechanical, coin-operated "bull" you could try and ride. I didn't try it, but I observed some buckaroos go for it and it was quite entertaining to watch.
In Abilene, they drank their beer out of gigantic mason jars. We got chased out of town by the police on our last night, which will always stick in my mind as one of the most memorable of my road trip experiences. Drinks were on the house, singer got plastered on JD, proceeded to rebuke the annoyed motel manager and destroy the place a bit, etc.. We escaped, but it was a bit of a tight dodge, with Barry (the singer) tucked away passed out in the back of our 17-foot truck.
Texas sucks, Washington would whip it any day.:whip:

Populus, you are definitely not acting like a Washingtonian. Why the hostility? It's not cool.

That was 3 weeks ago, though.:shame:Quote:

Why oh why is this a "sticky" thread?
I thought there would be some hidden gem of meaning, some relevant issue or urgent request...
No, it is just a discussion of your favorite Texan city. :rolleyes:
Theres a history here, as the OP has grown up a big strong Texas macho from a snivelling little coot, and crowned many honarary Texans in the process. I think he may be the offspring of a previous .Org Texan, or perhaps just an envious Frenchman who poses online as a Texan on the weekend much as I pose as an tween emo girl on Steam. It's roleplay, dude

Hey I'm off for a holiday to a big beautiful state where the stars at night are big and bright, full of miners and cactus (did I mention it was big) and the highways go forever, and there's some desert (big desert actually) and some sports teams and some cattle (big cattle) and famous for miners and resources and millionaires etc.
Anyway its a pretty big ol' state, about a million square miles, in fact its soooo big you could lose Texas in there and no-one would notice. Srsly. I mean its not that much bigger than Texas, maybe only three or four times as big. Little place called Western Australia.
If you like I can scope some camp sites in case the whole of Texas wanted to come over, always welcome boys and girls!

For the time being, this thread has been unstickied; Texas, while a great state in it's own right, doesn't need a pinned topic.
Hooray for equality!
"In 1845, Texas annexed the United States. About fifteen years later, through a total misunderstanding, several states had a sharp disagreement with Texas. If not for the clumsy 'assistance' of some other states, Texas, naturally, would have prevailed, as she always does. At any rate, things were cleared up and all the Other States were allowed to rejoin Texas.
Which is as it should be." :P
Only someone not from Texas would think this. ~DQuote:

The org hates women and holiday

Don't forget that their beer (Lone Star) is awful. Also the Dairy Queen and Whataburger must have been the worst restaurants I've ever been to. YUCK!
