Yes it's the place that has the highest obesity rate on the planet and brought us two George Bushes. But that's not the whole story. It also gave us:

- Edgar Mitchell
- John Howard Griffin
- Molly Ivins
- Janis Joplin
- Scott Joplin
- Kinky Friedman
- Katherine Anne Porter
- Lance Armstrong
- Dwight D Eisenhower
- Lyndon B Johnson

End of counter-rant.

How could I forget Stevie - excellent Git -tar player. I've got a live CD that is amazing.

Did you know Stevie couldn't read music - just makes his mastery of the guitar that much more amazing.

That made me laugh so violently, it hurt.

I'd love to visit Texas one day, though -- seems like such a.... interesting place, with all its' stereotypes and stuff.

What never fails to impress me about Sub's posts are the thoughfulness with which they're formulated, the admirable willingness to go out of his way to see the other guy's point of view, the meticulous attention to nuance.

Sub does display a rather unique mastery of the English language doesn't she/he?

You need to get out more - the burbs are not real. There is life beyond the cul-de-sac.

If you plan on going there. The "San Antonio Salad Toss" isn't about food. Don't make that mistake.

What ya got against Texas except for Bush and the horse he rode in on?

Suburbanite · Oct 28, 2004, 04:51 pm

It is a shitty state, mostly ugly women, many have trouble speaking English correctly, they have a poor outlook on the world, many are patriotic, they are mostly Christians and for some god awful reason proud of it despite their complete lack of real morals, they have shitty pot, not very nice scenery.... etc.

PatrickHenry · Oct 28, 2004, 05:07 pm

When in Dallas: Greenville Bar and Grill The food is great. The whole neighborhood rocks at nite. Big name bands play in small clubs on Greenville Ave.

You know, Suburbanite, if you knew anything at all about Texas you'd see just how unbelieveably ignorant your postings are. Houston, my hometown, is one of the most diverse cities on the planet. We have the second-largest population of Vietnamese in America, the largest medical center, and some of the nicest people on earth.

Perhaps you should let go of Mommy's hand and see what the real world looks like...

Suburbanite · Nov 23, 2004, 03:57 pm

I've been to Houston and some tweekers tried to steal my car. Then I stayed out in Nassau next to all that Nasa crap with someone for a few days, and while they were nice, they were very hillbilly nonetheless. Congrats on the Vietnamese people though, that sounds like an amazing achievement.
