What's up Texas?

Re: Texas
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.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Winter in Texas can change drastically. It could snow one day and then be warm enough to wear a t-shirt the next.

Re: 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.

Re: Texas
No. Clearly this is the truth staring you all in the face. Washington should rightfully claim its place as the greatest of all the states. We have Microsoft, Bill Gates, Boeing, Nintendo, Seattle (and its gigantic port), Apples, agriculture, the Space Needle, logging, fishing, trade, Nirvana, and just about everything else, including smart Asians. Washington will claim its place as the greatest of the States! We will claim for ourselves the leadership of the entire USA! We will march on the District of Columbia and burn it to the ground for stealing our name! We will march on Texas and burn it to the ground for having dumb people! WE will rule the USA! WE will rule the continent! WE will rule the Earth! WE will rule the Org.! WASHINGTONIANS: TO VICTORY AND WORLD DOMINATION!!!

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

That was 3 weeks ago, though.
Are you a Washingtonian?

Yeah, I live on the west side. I thought I had mentioned this earlier.

Re: Texas
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.

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

Re: Texas
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!

Re: Texas
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.
