Tex...are you snoozing, is that the alarm clock, or a battery operated personal appliance making that noise?

[texan_rep]

A Stetson? Ohhhh...... :drool:

[Wireline]

Well...sometime its a Stetson, but both of my silverbelly 30X are Larry Mahan/Milano...

IMO a much better build, conservative X rating, and (best part) they were freebies from a gig I had many years ago...such good hats that I still have one that has not been creased yet - the older one is hanging in there right nicely!

[Hadassah]

Cowboys make me drool.......

two of my favorite things to say in Spanish....

"vamos a la biblioteca..."



(not sure about my spellings though. I usually say them. ;) )




of course the number one phrase is still:
"Mas cervesa por favor!!"

I think it is called, crap, Lone Star maybe? The "National" beer of Texas? I admit I really want to try some. I'll all of a sudden want a pickup and a pair of boots.

I really want to see for myself. My brother went there for business and he said he couldn't believe the women. They are so sweet and blonde and gorgeous and know how to take care of a man. My Houston friend says exactly the same thing. I'm sure there are plenty of negatives too but a cute girl is really distracting.

Last time I was in Texas, some clown kept trying to pawn that lone star swill on Me. I was having none of it, of course. I eventually forgave him, since he was living in Beaumont, and I was just visiting.

I've only been to Texas once.. When I was 8 years old... Amarillo... I have family there..

[Darkwind]

Haha. Yeah? And what of the ladies?

Never got the chance on that trip to see if the Beaumont woman compare to the other cities. We were there to pick up My brothers girlfriend so it was a 'grab ~n~ go' stay.

Funny thing about Texas, well that county at any rate. It turned out that was a dry county. One could purchase beer, but couldn't drink it except on private property. My brother and I, being the California kids we were, didn't realize this and we were sitting on the hood of his car drinking a couple of molsens when his girlfriend and her dad showed up. He looked like he was going to have a heart attack on the spot, his head was swiveling so fast looking out for cops.

Tell Me about it. A dry county should refer to rainfall totals ONLY! A downright crime that one cannot even purchase a beer.

[iamredbeard]

I got this Time-Life series called "The Old West". On the book entitled "Texans" it talks about how fiercely Texas tried to become part of the Union which finally happen in 1846, then just 14 years that fiercely seceded from the Union. What is with those crazy Texans? Did they go mad from the heat?

[melinda]

:hug::hug:

I missed my morning hug...

I did too. :hug: :hug: :hug:

[iamredbeard]

In 1869, Texas went to the Supreme Court and said that they could leave the Union, the Supreme Court disagreed with them. Texas v White (1869)

How different would things have turned out if Texas was allowed to be it's own Nation.

Its good/great to be back home in West Texas...spent the week in College Station, and forgot how much I prefer the desert and flatlands...but, as with all things Texas, it IS a matter of perspective.

BTW, fellow Texans, are you aware TxDot tried to sneak past all of us a provision that would allow the state to put toll booths on pre-existing/already paid for roads and interstates? A San Antonio radio station reporter found this out, and its already hit the fan...Kay Baily already has introduced a national bill outlawing any state from re-re-retaxing and then privatizing public roads...

Anyway, its good to be home

Did you enjoy all the construction on Texas Ave??

[Wireline]

Most of the entire trip from Midland to Bryan/College Station, then College Station to San Antonio back to Midland was on some sort of construction....

If they would stop, think, and build things projected for 20 years from now as opposed to 20 minutes from now, main thoroghfares might be a little less torn up from contruction...

But I digress.

Ohhhhhhh yes we heard about it. Toll roads are big news in SA because of the incredible growth we've had.

[Wireline]

It was KTSA I heard that on...listened to the news reports all the way past Ozona on I10...

Schmuks....TxDot is GONE slap out of its bureacratic mind....

[texan_rep]

Usually listen to WOAI.

What gets me is they squandered huge amounts of money on non-road projects and then come up with the toll road idea to cover the shortfall they created.

[Wireline]

roger that on squandering....what was the report? I think it said $1.9 million for a public awareness/spekesman education campaign to teach TxDot personnel and the rest of us minions that we are too stupid to see this for what it is, and that the government really does know what is best?

Saddest part - I would hazard a guess most of the 'leadership" of TxDot are not native Texans...transplants from other places sent here to attempt to ruin or obviously superior state and lifestyle...

Bwah-haa-haa...their heinously evil plot foiled...

[Hadassah]

Bet some will be getting booted out of office come voting time over this.

[texan_rep]

Not elected, Hadassah. State agency, yes...but civil service, not appointed or elected (with the possible exception of the agency chief).

[Wireline]

Bet some will be getting booted out of office come voting time over this.

Haddie - I'm betting there won't be a TxDot to boot people out of soon...remember, like all government agencies, they are subject to periodic review to determine their worthiness for continuation - and their time is coming up early 2008. They will likely be replaced by an equally inept yet more transparent form of bureacracy...

:frown:

What we SHOULD do is place a 100% tax on everything used, registered, consumed, etc by non-native Texans living here for less than 30 years...that would thin the herd pretty quick. :idea:

US Marine

A U.S. Marine squad was marching north of Fallujah when they came upon an Iraqi terrorist, badly injured and unconscious. On the opposite side of the road was an American Marine in a similar but less serious state. The Marine was conscious and alert and as first aid was given to both men, the squad leader asked the injured Marine what had happened.
The Marine reported, "I was heavily armed and moving north along the highway here, and coming south was a heavily armed insurgent.

We saw each other and both took cover in the ditches along the road. I yelled to him that Saddam Hussein was a miserable, lowlife scum bag who got what he deserved, and he yelled back that Ted Kennedy is a fat, good-for-nothing, left wing liberal drunk who doesn't know how to drive. So I said that Osama Bin Ladin dresses and acts like a frigid, mean-spirited lesbian! He retaliated by yelling, "'Oh yeah? Well, so does Hillary Clinton!'"

"And, there we were, in the middle of the road, shaking hands, when a truck hit us."

The Marine was conscious and alert and as first aid was given to both men, the squad leader asked the injured Marine what had happened.
The Marine reported, "I was heavily armed and moving north along the highway here, and coming south was a heavily armed insurgent.

We saw each other and both took cover in the ditches along the road. I yelled to him that Saddam Hussein was a miserable, lowlife scum bag who got what he deserved, and he yelled back that Ted Kennedy is a fat, good-for-nothing, left wing liberal drunk who doesn't know how to drive. So I said that Osama Bin Ladin dresses and acts like a frigid, mean-spirited lesbian! He retaliated by yelling, "'Oh yeah? Well, so does Hillary Clinton!'"

"And, there we were, in the middle of the road, shaking hands, when a truck hit us."

OMG!!!! Someone please make sure Recon sees this. Too funny!

This hadn't been voted on yet?

It would require a public vote to toll roads already built...but not to build new toll roads.

OK, I must have misunderstood something along the way. Nevah mind! :)

[texan_rep]

If you want to step in a fire-ant bed, just come down here and start up a conversation about toll roads. You'll find out more than you ever wanted to know. :))

You know that's right...kinda like coming out to the oil patch and start bumping gums about nationalizing the US oil business...or going into a restaurant and being disappointed that chicken fried steak does not contain chicken...:boohoo:

[Wireline]

Mercy! Pretty soon we are gonna be a tropical rain forest...we are setting at 60% chance of rain as well...and anything over 40% is pretty much a sure thing.

[JDGreen]

Ya, it's raining here in the desert, too....

May-haps...historically though, we get record rainfalls the same weekend as the Powwow (29 and 30 Sep)... normally would be a bad thing, but since the CAF was "kind" enough to back the Airsho up 2 weeks and have it on the same weekend, 75,000 people in town with nothing to do because of a cancelled airsho...this could work out.

[texan_rep]

the CAF is still around? I guess there's no reason they wouldn't be...just haven't heard much about them lately...

I've never seen one of their shows...

[Wireline]

The had to change their name to Consolidated Air Force (:rolleyes: ) a few years back, but yeah, they still are a bug deal and put on one heck of a show every year...

Security issues, fuel costs, etc are all factoring into the event, though...less planes flying, less people attending, etc.,,not a big difference, but a difference nonetheless.

[texan_rep]

They changed their name? :doh: I hadn't heard that...

[Wireline]

yeah...PC running amok...don't get me started on that one...
