I Like Texas........ - Page 11

Why so many TX bashers? I don't live in TX, but I still like it. TX has some great cities, though personally, I think Houston sucks. People in TX are usually very friendly. I also have to admit that I am a UT fan... at least for football. That said, I wouldn't leave CA to live in TX, but it is a great place to visit.

Edit... I love the music. Pat Green, Cooder Graw, Kevin Fowler, Robert Earl Keen... too many to list. I like TX!

Just the opposite...

I posted this in another thread, but think it needs to be here as well:

I probably should weigh in here.

I've been to every place mentioned here (so far), and have been to Texas many times. I worked for a Texas company for a while.

In my personal opinion, Texas is OK. Not stupendous. It's got some great stuff and some bad stuff. One thing it certainly doesn't lack is ego. In fact, in my opinion, what makes people dislike Texas has more to due to the attitude that Texans try to stuff down your throat than anything wrong with Texas.

The fact is that everywhere I've lived, visited or been to for work has good and bad points. Texas is far from my favorite, but it also isn't the worst.

I know that some of the attitude is supposed to be in fun, but it gets out of hand. It's great to be proud of your state, but not at the expense of someone elses. We're all proud of our states, and some take major offense at someone putting it down.

Games are fun, but name calling can get ugly and cause serious hurt feelings. So far, this has been OK, but let's keep it that way, huh? Have fun, but be mindful of others.

(By the way, until you guys learn to drive in the montains -- slow the hell down in ours)

ON Wisconsin, On Wisconsin...

I am hear to say something nice about Texas. (See DeltAlum, we can play nice!)

Like bethany, I love Robert Earl Keen and Pat Green! They rule! I introduced them to my wing last year.

"I love the sound of a rain on a tin roof on a hot summers night...."

"Im a hell bent, 100% Texan till I die..."

"I dont mind goin to Oklahoma, I never met an Okie that I didnt like. I dont mind New York City, those yankees talk funny but theyre allright."

Kevin Fowler - 100% Texan

BTW - WATCH it Kitso. Theres only so much Longhorn Bashin' Ima gonna allow.

them boys from oklahoma roll their joints all wrong
they're too damn skinny and way too long,
I ain't no holy roller, so i just use a bong,
them boys from oklahoma roll their joints all wrong!!

Them boys down there in Texas just as soon smuggle their weed,
Across the Rio Grande, they use the Mexican breed,
exploitin cheap labor is the Texian Creed,
them boys from down in Texas have some damn fine weed.

I don't smoke, but this is one of the best songs EVER!!!

DL it!!!! CCR, The Boys from Oklahoma

AlphaSig, I'm leaving out the line about the boys down in Norman out of respect for ya!

Kitso
KS 361 times i think that that the boys from CO just as soon pan for gold, their growing seasons too long and their nights are too dang cold.

Don't sweat it, Kitso... back in my old pledge days it was a beer in one hand and a bong in the other... there was many a weekend where I was either drunk outta my mind or stoned outta my skull, or sometimes a combination of both!

It's been too long since I've had some good Green Country red-haired sinse, and I don't miss it.

So, go ahead and post the line about the dope-smokers from Norman... after all, they consume high quantities of weed anyway! Now how they roll it is another matter...

ROFLOL!

Norman is the rare bastion of liberalism in heavily conservative Oklahoma, at least around the OU campus. I remember there used to be an apartment building a short distance away from my fraternity house that reportedly attracted gay tenants, and was the butt (pardon the pun!

) of local jokes.

And nine times outta ten we preferred bongs instead of rolling. Remembering to folow the sacred bong etiquette if you were the 'bongardier' (the guy supplying the bong and keeping it filled, making sure the bong didn't tip over -- nasty bong water is a b*tch to clean outta carpet!)
