And here I thought it was because the chainsaw guy didn’t want the neighborhood going downhill...

I always knew that The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was fiction. Everybody knows there aren't any chainsaws in Texas, because there ain't no trees!

Everyone knows there aren't any jobs in Michigan because everyone with brains left the place.

“The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was fiction. Everybody knows there aren’t any chainsaws in Texas, because there ...”

It is an absurd movie. If it had been anywhere close to reality, the cute Texas chick would have pulled out a 1911 A1 and blown away the clown with the chainsaw.

In addition, no Texan would be caught dead with a chainsaw that tiny. What is that a butter knife?

Try telling that to my 65 acres of the Northeast Texas Piney Woods...

We kept our chainsaws in North Dakota. You never know when one might pop up.

Yep, I always thought that if there were a zombie outbreak there would be a limit set during hunting season. Competition for “tags” would be stiff.

Yeah, I always find it amusing when I talk to people that get their image of Texas from spaghetti westerns (movies).

A large part of Texas is desert, but the part that isn't desert is bigger than most other states. Even if you remove the plains of north Texas and the coastal scrub of south Texas, the hill country and east Texas have a huge amount of heavily forested areas.

Yeah -- I remember westerns where folks going from Houston to Galveston in the early 1800s traveled all the way by stagecoach -- and the terrain was desert -- with big, dry mountains in the background... ;-)

Reminds me of scenes where folks shot with a shotgun are blown 20 feet hackward and through a wall -- and the shooter stands right there on his hind legs and never flinches.

Sorta like folks who get their mental image of G_d from the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel...

Texas surprises lots of folks. We're 4 miles from the LA border, and we had a sergeant from MA who stopped off for a visit when driving through to his new assignment at Fort Bliss. He said he'd pop back on the weekend to go fishing with me. I told him to give me a call to set a date when he got to El Paso... <LOL!!!>
