Default OT: Texans Suck!

Yep!
Texans can suck down a lot of beer and are a great bunch of people.
Just got back from a 2 week vacation in Texas.
Stayed at a RV park in Cut-N-Shoot Texas
Beautiful state, also attended the premier of the Alamo movie(by accident)
Didn't get to see Billy Bob. :cheers:

I moved here 3 years ago from Chicago. It is a great place to live, although there are a lot of dry counties which makes it hard to get the beer to suck down :D Other than that, it is great!

There was a rich Texan in Austrailia sitting in a local pub. The Aussie finally said"bloody nice weather were having lately mate." The arogant Texan replied " No big deal, we have weather like this all the time in Texas" The Aussie replied "I know what you mean Mate". Afew minutes passed and the Assuie said " just bought a fancy new car I did" The Texan asked what kind of car he bought and the Aussie replied. " a Volkswagen Golf" TheTexan chuckled and said" In texas a fancy new car is a Lincoln, Cadillac, Mercedes, Jaguar" The aussie replied "I know just what you mean mate" A few minutes passed and the Aussie said "I own A big piece of property in the outback I do" When the texan asked how many acres he owned the Aussie replied "OH About an acre and a half." The texan said " I don't mean to bragg About Texas but let me tell you that on my ranch I get up at sunrise and get on My old horse and ride him as hard as he will ride and at sunset I'm still Not off my own property" The Aussie Replied " I know just what you nean, I;ve got An old hrse just like that myself.

I moved here 3 years ago from Chicago. It is a great place to live, although there are a lot of dry counties which makes it hard to get the beer to suck down :D Other than that, it is great!

Ahhh....the memories of dry municipalities and blue laws.....

The first Sunday after I moved to Dallas, I went to the grocery store for some stuff. Beer, liquor, food, and a cookie pan. The cashier checked everything out for me except she wouldn't let me buy the cookie pan. She explained that they couldn't sell me the cookie pan on Sunday because of the Blue Laws. There was no problem selling me the beer and liquor, though. A couple years later all the store owners realized that they were losing more revenue by staying closed on Sunday than the fine to stay open would cost them. Eventually they all started violating the blue laws and the blue laws were eventually forgotten (or repealed).

A friend of mine lived in Carrolton, a suburb of Dallas that was dry. The town was considering allowing the serving of alcohol at restaurants and bars. So as a result, a number of church activists were petitioning to keep Carrolton dry.

A gentlemen and his young son tapped on her door asking her to sign the petition. The son then pipes in and says, "you wouldn't want me to get hit by a drunk driver, would you ma'am?".

So she replies, "Well, as it is now, I have to drive 15 miles in to Dallas to have some drinks and then drive all the way back after I've had a few. If they allow us to drink here in Carrolton, I can WALK down the street to the LOCAL bar and WALK back home without the possibility of harming anyone."

The gentleman and his son decided at that point she wasn't going to sign and moved on to the next house.

Everyplace has its quirks. I really enjoyed my years in Texas. Overall, Texans are some of the friendliest, fun loving types around.
