[TexCon]

Amen!!!! I attend the University of Chicago and have been bestowed the nickname of "Tex". However, when I meet someone knew and tell them where I'm from they always smirk, laugh, have some pathetic one liner to get off their chest against W, or ask me if it's okay that they're gay. What the hell?!!!! It just pisses me off...

or ask me if it's okay that they're gay

I always say "Sure. That means there's more p**** for me. It's also a pretty effective way to be sure that idiots don't breed more idiots."

That usually shuts 'em up.

Best of luck at UC.

Don't take it serious TexCon.. There are two kinds of people in the world. Texans and those who wish they were.

Don't ever tell those rude Yankees what we think of them.

Know whatcha mean! Tennessee people sort of have the same problem when it comes to Hollyweird. We all drive pick-ups, run moonshine, live on ridges, drive souped up muscle cars to evade the sheriff, and never had shoes until we were adults. I HAVE NEVER RAN MOONSHINE! );

BTW, I am from about 30km (20 mile) from his 'home town'... (been in Japan too long... not that it makes a difference... I would still hold my beliefs whether he was from 10 feet or 10,000 miles...
