More reasons why TX rocks

[opaldragon]

- TX has one of the most recognizable flags in all of the nation - Lonestar! Anyone even have a remote idea of what the Nebraska flag looks like, who isn't from Nebraska?
- Largest international metropolitan area in the nation - El Paso, TX and Cd. Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico
- The name Texas comes from the Spanish word "Tejas" which is an interpretation of the Hasinai Indian word meaning "friendly"; Yes, people from TX are damn friendly.

Notable Texans:
- Mary Kay Ash
- Carol Burnett
- George Bush
- George W. Bush
- Joan Crawford
- Walter Cronkite
- Buddy Holly
- Howard Hughes
- Lyndon Baines Johnson
- Janis Joplin
- Jayne Mansfield
- Roy Orbison
- Dan Rather
- Gene Roddenberry
- Nolan Ryan
- Sissy Spacek

I'm sure there are tons of others that I don't personally recall, but if we named all the notable Texans, well, you'd be drowning with the sheer number.

I'm originally from El Paso, TX, and I'm damn proud, and as they saying goes, "Don't mess with Texas."
