Nice idea, but when I get like this, I could drag the most exciting and titillating thread down.

We all know this....

But there are folks who read this board that don't know....so here is Texas in a nutshell. (also posting this on "What Makes Your Home State Unique" thread)
*******************************************

When you're from Texas, people that you meet ask you questions like,
Do you have any cows? Do you have horses? Bet you got a bunch of guns,
eh? They all want to know if you've been to Southfork; They watched
“Dallas“.

Have you ever looked at a map of the world? Look at Texas with me just
for a second. That picture, with the Panhandle and the Gulf Coast, and
the Red River and the Rio Grande is as much a part of you as anything ever
will be. As soon as anyone anywhere in the world looks at it they know what it
is. It's Texas.

Pick any kid off the street in Japan and draw him a picture of Texas
in the dirt and he'll know what it is. What happens if I show you a picture
of any other state? You'll get it maybe after a second, but who else would?
And even if you do, does it ever stir any feelings in you?

In every man, woman and child on this little rock the Good Lord put us
on, there is a person who wishes just once he could be a real live Texan
and get up on a horse or ride in a pickup. There is some bit of Texas in
everyone. Did you ever hear anyone in a bar go, “Wow...so you're from
Iowa?
Cool, tell me about it“! Do you know why? Because there's no place like
Texas.

Texas is the Alamo. Texas is 183 men standing in a church, facing
thousands of Mexican nationals, fighting for freedom, who had the chance
to walk out and save themselves, but stayed instead to fight and die for the
cause of freedom.

We send our kids to schools named William B. Travis and James Bowie
and Crockett and do you know why? Because those men saw a line in the sand
and they decided to cross it and be heroes. John Wayne paid to do the movie
himself. That is the Spirit of Texas.

Texas is Sam Houston capturing Santa Ana at San Jacinto.
Texas has the Texas Independence Day.
Texas is huge forests of Piney Woods like the Davy Crockett National
Forest.
Texas is breathtaking mountains in Big Bend.
Texas is shiny skyscrapers in Houston and Dallas.
Texas is world record bass from places like Lake Fork.
Texas is Mexican food like nowhere in the world, even Mexico.
Texas is the Fort Worth Stockyards, Bass Hall, and the Astrodome.
Texas is larger-than-life legends like Willie Nelson, Buddy Holly,
Waylon Jennings, Janis Joplin, ZZ Top, Eric Dickerson, Earl Campbell,
Nolan Ryan, Denton Cooley and Michael DeBakey, Sam Rayburn, George Bush, Lyndon B. Johnson, and George W. Bush.

Texas is great companies like Dell Computer, Texas Instruments and
Compaq.
Texas is huge herds of cattle and miles of crops.
Texas is skies blackened with doves, and fields full of deer.
Texas is a place where cities shut down for the Cowboys on Monday
Night Football.
Texas is the River Parade in San Antonio.
Texas is ocean beaches, deserts, lakes and rivers, mountains and
prairies, and modern cities.
If it isn't in Texas, you don't need it. No one does anything bigger
or better than it's done in Texas.

By federal law, Texas is the only state in the U.S. that can fly its
flag at the same height as the U.S. flag. Think about that for a second.
You fly the Stars and Stripes at 20 feet in Maryland, or California, or
Maine, and your state flag, whatever it is, goes at 17. You fly the Stars
and Stripes in front of Pine Tree High in Longview at 20 feet,
the Lone Star flies at the same height - 20 feet. Do you know why?
Because we place being a Texan as high as being an American down here.

Our capitol is the only one in the country that is taller than the
capitol building in Washington, D.C. and we can divide our state into
five states if we want to! We included these things in as part of the deal
when we came on. That's the best part right there.

YEE HAW!! I'M FROM TEXAS AND PROUD OF IT!!!!!

AMEN Sister!

I'm with you girl. I have lived in Texas my entire life. I was born in Huntsville, and have lived in several communities throughout most of this magnificient state, includeing but not limited to : Huntsville, Brenham, Tyler, Bridge City, Little Cyprus Mariecville, Reisel, Hewitt, Temple, Flint, and finally my favorites to this point, Bryan and College Station. Me and my wife are about to move to El Campo in Wharton county. One day we hope to buy a couple hundred acres in or around Wharton. She will be working on the second largest tree farm in the USA as the head grower in charge of propogation in the greenhouses, producing as of yet never before seen strains of trees! I'm so proud to call the incredible state home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sure, we may move away one day for a better oportunity, but the day the Texas declares it's independance, we will be back, work or no work. And did you know that Texas is the only state in the union that has all of the natural resources necessary to support itself? The only natural resource that we don't have is gold, and I betcha if someone really went looking for it, they would find it, not that we really need it, we've got the black gold. Everytime I think of all the men and women who have died in the service of our great state and our great country who came from the state of Texas it brings tears to my eyes. Did you know that the high schools and colleges of Texas are the most heavily recruited schools in the country for professional football and baseball? Watch a couple of college football games and you will notice about half of the players on those teams are from Texas, even the teams outside this state.


Sorry about the rant guys, I kinda get carried away sometimes... See you guys later.

Wow! what a great post. Thanks for sharing that. I hope your wife enjoys her new job. Sorry for truncating your post; trying to save space. Yeah, like I pay for it or something! lol

You ought to take that post to the "home state" thread!

And on behalf of all the men and women in the military who are from Texas...I thank you. My husband is in the Air Force.

Just popping in to say hello! Haven't stopped by in quite a while...Im in West Texas. Hope you all have happy Holidays!

 

[TxBelle]

OK we have way too many Texans here to not have a massive party. Comeon ya'll we have a bunch of bright, thoughtful, caring, and horney people right here in the Lone Star State and there's no reson we shouldn't get raunchy together. I vote we find a little bar in the middle of the state and show up there wet and ready! We could do prizes for the most scantly dressed, the biggest boobs, the longest hair, the longest sustained hardon and we can never forget the "who can suck the coconut cream out of the condom the fastest" contest.

We would have oooodles of fun. Comeon/cumon! Who's with me?
