Well, we're just guessing about the "Aww, how cool!" part cuz none of you tourists live long enough to tell us what went through their minds.
The Jackalope's antlers?Quote:

Ah yes! the Houston Museum of Natural History.
STFS and Csargo. They may be obnoxious Texans, but they're our obnoxious Texans.Quote:

No, it is not. This is for the simple reason that everybody dislikes Bavaria and Texas because they are jealous of them. Nobody could possibly be jealous of Yorkshire.Quote:

- both people are iconic to there respective countries
- both people are thought to wear funny cloth and hats
- both people are famous for fancying cattle more than others
- both people feature a distinct dialect (tho the Bavarians have the advantage in this case)
maybe.Quote:

I might be severely biased though-I did practically rot under the weather there for 3 1/2 years (Brazoria county, south of Houston).

If I wasn't Scottish I'd be Texan
If I wasn't Ugandan, I'd be Scottish.
Idi Amin
So basically all Ugandans want to be Texan. I see. You peel back the layers and eventually you realize that everyone wishes they were born in Texas.
Dang, I come back on the 16th. We should hang out brah.Quote:

Have you been around to the area around St.Marys street? I know there are allot of places there they cater to college age students (including the White Rabbit which is the place to go for some rock n roll...and meth)
San Antonio, I love Tex Mex!! (Why is there no "drool" smiley?!) It's also the only place in Texas I've ever been.
I believe this is the only place I've ever seen you admit it! :laugh4:Quote:

The riverwalk is kind of pricey man, I know being at Sam means you're close but there are much cheaper dives.
Have you been to Liberty Bar? That's a treat. Also if you even need some good eateries ask me, I know this city like the back of my hand.
You don't know the half of it ~:)Quote:

Also, Hello!~:wave:
There were two political camps(they never formed parties) in Texas: Those that wanted to be Independent and those that wanted annexation from the very get go. It is interesting to note that none of the original Tejanos or Texians who had been in Texas long before the War for Texas Independence wanted annexation but were out-numbered by the huge migrations that took place directly before and after the war. So in the end the numericaly superior newcomers swayed the politics to annexation. It's one of the reasons that Texian families still identify themselves as such, to identify themselves as a more respected(though not necessarily wealthier or influential or powerful) and seperate class within Texas.
We had to help those poor sods some way. Have you seen Americans? They need all the help they can get!Quote:

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?
