Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Please take W with you.

Outstanding responses to my pro-Texas rant!

Have you heard the one about Texas being able to fly their flag at the same height as the US Flag? :)
(Actually, I am not sure this is actually true, i think it is an urban myth. We may be allowed to, but I have not seen it - usually the Stars and Stripes is higher)
One of the great things about being a Texan is to be somewhere else, anywhere else (but particularly Oklahoma) and go on a pro-Texas rant and see the immdiate venom that occurs from others - it is a blast. They blame Texas for everything from W. to rattlesnakes, to heat and humidity. It is great fun and works on APC too.

I was in a T-shirt shop on 6th street in Austin, bought a shirt that helps when I do this, it simply says, in big block letters:

"****** Y'ALL, I'm From Texas" - it usually gets a laugh.

Never blamed Texas for anything, I just like doing the same thing you do but against Texas. Just gotta be careful, some people take it better than others! ;) Some people get it and some don't, you obviously do! Your alright Stinsinjr, even if you are a Texan! :D

I'm partial to my T-shirt that says: "I mess with Texas!!!!"

Texas could survive without the U.S. but the U.S. couldn't survive without Texas!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.......whatever lets you sleep at night!

I got one the same evening as my other shirt, had a picture of Willie flipping the bird and said "Don't mess with Texas".

Actually, the place I got these shirts sums up the city of Austin perfectly. I was in town on business, and that evening after dinner I went to 6th Street. I was at a great piano bar and went ourside...next door was the biggest head shop I had ever seen. That is where i got the shirts - those two for me, one for my wife, and a tie-dyed shirt for my nine year old that says "Keep Austin Weird". Austin has politics a little to the left of San Francisco, and is surrounded by the rest of Texas which is more conservative that Atilla's reign. Kind of a fun dynamic.

As long as we can agree that Oklahoma sucks, I think we can all get along!

If you agree that Michigan sucks, i'll buy the first round! :D

hey longbow I'm out here in Jersey by Ft. Dix with the army as well and when the WX bad is here, it's bad for a week. I feel your pain.

These are the reasons I love Texas even though I'm a Seattle girl inside out: San Antonio, Whataburger, Rudy's BBQ, Bill Miller BBQ, Sonic strawberry milkshake and Shiner Bock.

Yes - we can agree, and you can buy the first round. I would suggest at Kruez meats, in Lockhart, TX - best BBQ in the world! Washed down with an ice cold Lone Star!
