While Texas has culture, people, great cities, things to do, Nebraska has... corn.

I’m sure I’ll think of more. However before you start dogging on a place you’ve never even LIVED in, know your facts. I’m sure we could all agree that when you visit a state as a tourist you often don’t get the true feel of the state.

MY EX FIANCEE

oooo, hootie's gettin a little defensive.

just for clarification, this entire thread is to benefit docetboy, who got a little out of control in the GC IM chat group last night and started talkin trash.

Although, 9(a) isn't tooo convincing. Arbor Day? Cmon. :) You can't expect us gas-guzzling, SUV driving, gun toting, no insurance-having, endangered species endangering Texans to be impressed by that :D

Kitso
KS 361 times i didn't intend to piss anyone off, cept docet

Hey I understand but I still had to come to my state's defense...
Afterall I'm a TRUE Nebraskan (born here/raised here).

hootie, i got cho' back!--even though i know isht about nebraska, and i'm not sayin nebraska is better.....i mean corn don't really do it for me, either......but jussayin....your reason is sufficient for havin issues with the place ;)

MY EX FIANCEE
i'm sorry. . .did he marry someone from Texas?

Hootie Says: That's a low blow. No he didn't marry anyone from Texas but if you'd like I could hook you up with him. From what I can see you two would make a wonderful couple :rolleyes:

Re: Reasons why Texas is better than nebraska
 

I think you got your lists confused. Willie Nelson belongs on the "things to be embarrassed about" list.

Re: Re: Reasons why Texas is better than nebraska
 

OH.....ISHT.....LMAO!!!!

um, guess I cant say much...I am from TN.....:(

That's low. Sure, fight about which state is better but personal attacks are uncalled for.

WHOA!! That was SOOOO uncalled for! :eek:
