Texas

[Shaka_Khan]

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

It snowed when I was there last December, but it didn't pile up. It suddenly got warm a few days later.

I think Texas has the most attractive women in the US after South Carolina. By most I mean most likely you'll see an attractive women, not the most in total numbers since I don't know about that. I'm saying this from a neutral perspective. I'm from neither Texas or SC.

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.

[Subotan]

I guess that since Texas is physically warmer than, say, Colorado, girls are more likely to be wearing more revealing clothing, at least giving the impression that Texas has more Hot Chicks.

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

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.

[Snite]

No matter how revealing or unrevealing the clothes, the face never lies.

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.

[Hooahguy]

i dont hate Texas, i just doing like its weather.

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

Brings a tear to the eye, it does.

Nice.

Here's the real Australian National Anthem ftw.

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.

TX has always been my favorite state in the Union

[Yoyoma1910]

How D peoples of Texas. I drank a Shiner the other night.

So if I went to Texas, would I be welcome?

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?

[Snite]

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.

[Cyclops]

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.

No, not Victora, nor the greeks.

[A Nerd]

Never been to Texas, don't know much about it. Being a New Englander and all. Do know its a red state though! :D

[Cyclops]

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.

Australia.

Uh huh, you know it.

Definately the capital of AFL. and the arts and all that. But you know what i mean.

Plus you're the closest to Tassie and well...

[Cyclops]

Well I can only go from the people I have met and from them Texas must be a beaut place.

Yep, it looks like a spadge. That makes Melbourne the navel of the world.

As for having gays, we have tons and like all the other groups in this diverse tolerant (if somewhat gloomy) state, they're quietly happy (in a dressed-in-black kind of way). We're the King Gee state, we don't try to look good so we do.

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.

[Strike For The South]

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

[woad&fangs]

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:

[Hannibal Khan the Great]

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!

Looks like China is getting hip to the Texas way of life. From Beijing:

The world's love affair with Texas continues! Does the US even realise it is dependent on the Texas brand for its exports?

In our hearts, the entire world wishes it was Texas. Even if we can but dream, at least we can get a little taste of Texas culture and greatness:

Gaelic Cowboy seconds the Texas love and is most likely the only member of the .org with a few steers.
