That would explain why I want to reach up and touch your ears. Are they real?
 
Kindness of Strangers

I wouldn't mind your company, much less anyone else's. Houston has always struck me as a boring place, considering most of the fun things involve indoors; seeing as how this searing heat could turn us to shriveled, prune-looking candevers.
 
:rose:Just another gal saying " Howdy Folks!" from DFW area, specifically North Dallas/Addison. Figured I let this be my first post to the forums. :rose:

Often the company we keep determine the pleasure gained and sustained. Wondering just what kind of company you'd like to keep. Me? I live in Disneyland and love every minute of it!
I agree with you. It's a state of mind, that determines how yu feel, what you enjoy or don't enjoy.:devil:
 
Before You Enter TEXAS

Rules for Entering Texas. God Bless Texas!!!

The following list of rules apply to each person as they enter Texas:

* Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.



*Remember where you came from - so you can go back. We're not particular, you can even go back a different way . . . just go back.
Let's get this straight. We have one stoplight in town. We stop when it's red. We may even stop when it's yellow.

* It's called a 'gravel road.' I drive a pickup truck because I need to. No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.

* They are pigs, cattle, and oil wells. That's what they smell like to you. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-40 and I-10 go east and west, I-35 goes north and south. Pick one.

* So you have a sixty-thousand dollar car. We're real impressed. We have> quarter-million dollar cotton strippers that we drive three weeks a year.

* So every person in every pickup waves. It's called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.

* Trucks are made to get dirty. Don't bring your Eddie Bauer Limited Edition to my huntin' camp and expect to leave clean on Sunday. It won't happen.

* We all started hunting and fishing when we were nine years old. Yeah, we saw "Bambi," too. We got over it.
* If that cell phone rings while a bunch of doves are coming in, we will shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.

* Go ahead and bring your $800 Orvis Fly Rod. Don't cry to us if a flathead breaks it off at the handle. We have a name for that little 13-inch trout you fish for---bait.* Yeah, we eat catfish, carp, and crawdads. You really want sushi and caviar? It's available at the corner
bait shop.

* The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first ! of November.

* Any references to "corn fed" when talking about our women will get you jack-slapped, by
our women.

* Our women hunt, fish, and drive trucks - because they want to. Our women are some of the best looking in the country.

* We open doors for women. That applies to everyone regardless of age!

* No, there's no "Vegetarian Special" on the menu. Order steak. Order it rare. Or, you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the two pounds of ham and turkey.

* When we fill out a table there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices- salt, pepper, and Tabasco sauce!

* You bring "Coke" into my house it better be brown, wet, served over ice, and plenty of it!

* You bring "Mary Jane" to my house she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.

* Yeah, we have sweet tea. It comes in a g! lass with two packets of sugar, some lemon, and a long spoon.

* That's right. Whiskey is only two bucks. We can buy a fifth for what you paid for that shot in the airport at New York, Boston, Chicago, or L.A.

* High School Football is as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.

* Yeah, we have golf courses. Don't hit in the water hazards - it spooks the fish. If you get in the trees - watch out for the Rattlesnakes and we're not talking sports (unless you try to out run them!).

* Colleges? Try UT, Texas Tech, A&M, Abilene Christian. They come outa there with an education and a love for God and country, and they still wave at passing pickups when they come home for the holidays.

* We have more Navy, Army, Marines, and Air Force than any other state, so,> "Don't Mess With Texas". If you do it will get your butt kicked by the best!

* Our military! is only used as a back up. Per capita, each man, woman, and child owns at least two firearms and has taken a NRA Certified Shooter Education Course.

* Also, remember what Governor Sam Houston once said, "Texas can make it without the United States, but the United States can't make it without Texas.
 
Wolllllllllfffffffffffieeeeeeee

Are you guys home now????????????? We missed you!

The stars at night

Hey Ladies and Gents,

I am in the Houston area yet have been just about every where in East and Southern Texas. I love SA and really enjoy myself in Austin. Glad to know that there are others here from the Lone Star state. Anybody else from Houston?

I am originally from New Orleans.

Texans aren't all rednecks

While I loved the Texan rules, and we Texans often resemble those remarks, don't forget one of the top schools in the world is in Texas... Rice.

Not great football wise, but the Village and Montrose (two of the fun places in Houston outside Six Flags) are within walking distance of Rice... that is if the sun hasn't risen yet because then it is too hot to walk anywhere. That's why Texans always have wheels... that, and for Texans to have a place to put their bumper stickers...

Born on one end of Texas, grew up on the other, now splitting the difference.

Who cares? But I digress.

Actually, Rice has become decent since I graduated in 1991, although it is a greatly diminished conference compared to the SWC of yesteryear. Last year I believe they were 8-3 or in that ballpark. (Pardon the mixed metaphor.)
