Texas

[Subotan]

0. Texans don't die

Ohh. What about if you're just passing through, on your way to Arizona or something?

Is Texas the Bavaria of the US or is it the other way round?

I worked that Bavaria is the Yorkshire of Germany, since Yorkshire likes nobody, and vice versa.

I'm telling you: watch out for those jackelopes. At first you out-of-staters are all "Aww, how cool!" And then you find out what those antlers are really for. 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?

I wish I had something to say that's good about Texas.

*think's for a moment*

Ah yes! the Houston Museum of Natural History.

STFS and Csargo. They may be obnoxious Texans, but they're our obnoxious Texans.

El paso Texas!

That and Ciudad Juarez is where i am from :)

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.

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

Yes. Also, there are a lot of similarities. Compare:

- both people occupy a relatively large state to the south
- 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.

thing is, Texas doesn't have all the attractions other states have.

the only things going for it in fact are in fact a single president-not a popular one*-and peopled with humans possessing the ego of a small planet each. the last one I do admit is an amusing-and perhaps great-trait. and don't get me started on the Alamo-I read the history back and forth, and I came to the conclusion that Colonel Travis was either mad or on something. then again, so was Santa Anna.

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

[Subotan]

If I wasn't Ugandan, I'd be Scottish.

[Snite]

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.

I'll be in San Antonio 'till late December. Been here since June, pretty sure i've hit up most of the major drinking establishments. Where do you usually drink at? I can be found along the Riverwalk or up at Cowboys most weekends, depending on what I'm looking for (booz, women, or both).

Dang, I come back on the 16th. We should hang out brah.

I usually drink at any place that doenst check ID Im sure as a forigener you're still getting a kick out of downtown and thats great Im glad your liking it. I have spent many a friday night at cowboys they usually have half decent music.

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)

[Scienter]

San Antonio, I love Tex Mex!! (Why is there no "drool" smiley?!) It's also the only place in Texas I've ever been.

Houston.

'cause I was born there. That's right, I'm technically a Texan.

I believe this is the only place I've ever seen you admit it!

[Subotan]

I like how you name your eateries/watering holes after things in Texas.

[Strike For The South]

Actually the White Rabbit has been recommended to me several times, but I haven't gone yet.

Honestly, Cowboys is awful. Only reason I go there is because my girlfriend loves to dance. Like, seriously.. it's not natural.

For straight drinking I like the Riverwalk though. Especially since I can get drunk and be bad at Coyote Ugly's, then go chill at Mad Dogs, then go eat at one of the many Mexican Eateries, all within like fifteen feet. 'tis great.

Supposedly it's a good time, I've never been not really my scene.

hehehe. Please tell me your g/f can 2step and square dance.

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

Another question about Texas.

If Texas is so awesome, why did they surrender their independence and be annexed by the USA?

Pity

I'd have to say my favorite town in Texas is Dallas...though I was born in Austin, I just don't remember anything about it.

Also, Hello!

[Snite]

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!

Welcome friendo!

[Beirut]

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."

[Strike For The South]

Where you gonna be drinking at this weekend, strike? Might have to make an appearance.

Dude, I'm at Uni right now. I should be back on the 16-17th.

I would love to meet up though if our time overlaps, would be cool to meet an Orgah

[Strike For The South]

Yeah i'll be in town 'till the 20th. Shoot me a PM some time.

Will do buddy.

[Ibrahim]

I just realized what Texas is missing: Texas needs a song that celebrates its uniquenee, along the lines of this song.

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.

besides, its not as if they are that differenet; they are both considered "unique' by their respective countries standards.

[Subotan]

Right Here

[Ja'chyra]

Is Chuck Norris from Texas?

[Snite]

Texas has had a State Anthem for quite a while now: Texas, Our Texas.

Brings a tear to the eye, it does.

[Hooahguy]

Texas is the reason we get no snow in the south.

[Subotan]

Oh, wow. Thank You Wikipedia.

[Snite]

Yes?
