So America is insisting that they keep the State of Texas when it's really a country

[Dixon Carter Lee]

I can't believe those Americans. Texas should immediately be admitted to the United Nations and adopt "El Paso" as its national anthem. Wait, that's New Mexico. Isn't it? Never mind. Say, why doesn't oldMexico invade the U.S. again? They should. America bad.

I'm not making fun of Texas. I'm makng fun of p p man. Don't you open all his threads like the rest of us? He's a riot, Alice. A regular riot.

Sheesh, middle aged men today.

On behalf of middle-aged men everywhere, I am presently wearing my "Don't Mess with Texas" T-shirt and making no boomer cultural references...

Ralph Cramden wrote the lyrics to Alice's Restaurant and the Guthrie guy just sang it. I'm always having to educate you people.

I am so lost. Do I really have to look up a p_p_man thread just to find out what this thread is about? Is there really a song called El Paso?

And on to other interesting Texas trivia, did you know that The Eyes of Texas is the most downloaded college song for cell phone rings? Now that's something to be proud about.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

I thought Linda Lavin wrote that at Mel's Diner while starring in "American Graffiti"?

You never have to look up a p p man thread.

And "El Paso" is a great song.

No she wrote that Eyes Of Texas song at the American Diner before she starred in the ill fated porn movie Mellon Graffiti.

DISCLAIMER:

This thread is nothing to do with me.

As far as I can see it's a vehicle for DCL to either test the breaking strain of his wit or to increase his Post total...

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Oh shush, Boo-Boo.

*softly sings off key*
'Down in the West Texas town of El Paso...'

Oh now it makes more sense... in my mind I was hearing,
"Pass the old El Paso"
and imagining an anthem based on salsa.

This parody assumes the sane would care if Texas ceased to exist. The reader must be allowed to believe in order to draw a laugh.

Thank you William F. Buckley. LOL

If I've said it once, I'll say it again, we should keep Austin and sell the rest back to Mexico at thirty cents an acre. And keep the mineral rights. What? I'm not stupid.

 

[Cherry]

OH! oh oh ohhhhh ....

~backing out of the thread~

Thought you meant that SOUTH America was trying to steal Texas!

Phew!

 

[Aussie Worm]

Heres something I heard that I can't back up right now; About 70% of Mexicans living in California and Texas believe they are in Mexico, under foreign occupation.

Hey Aussie..... that comment makes me think of something we really do have in abundance here in Texas...... Bullshit....

j/k

Actually what you heard is that 70% of New Yorkers think America ends halfway across the George Washington Bridge, and that this whole "Midwest" thing is a myth.
