Hi Texans!
I’m from New York and with this news, I’m thinking of coming down. I don’t expect much, just free health-care, some food stamps, and monthly disability payments for my wife and her mom and mom’s live-in boyfriend (at least when he isn’t in jail). Also, I can get a free cell phone from the state too!
Let’s keep it that way. No low-life democRATS invited.
You brought your woes upon yourself so wallow in your own mess.
We want to keep that clean smell.
DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS!
DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS........Lol
Gads, I can hear his voice in my head now that you posted his picture!
You said the Secret words.......you're forgiven for moving to Texas, lol.
I am sure that you are familiar with the Davy Crockett quote.
Gig ‘Em Aggies!
SpongeBob: Hey Patrick, guess what I am!
Patrick: Um, stupid?
SpongeBob: No, I'm Texas!
Patrick: What's the difference?
"The stars at night are dull and dim, whenever they have to be over dumb old stupid Texas!"
Being of U of H background, I really don’t have a dawg in the fight, but y’all did see what happened Thanksgiving evening?
You may all go to Hell, and I will go to Texas.
He probably didn't mean Houston in the summer.
Aw, that ol’ boy’s all wet behind the ears.
I didn’t watch but do know the A..a..aaaggies won. Sorry, it was hard to get that ‘word’ out, lol.
LOL
No doubt.
I live SW of Houston.
Sometimes it gets so hot, that I’ve see 2 trees fighting over a dog.
I Understand, U of H Heisman candidate QB and his back-up are knocked out for the year in the same game and the Coogs go 5-7. Tough year.
I can still remember sitting at an outdoor restaurant and seeing men in top hats and polka dot suits prancing down the center of the boulevard........and singing too, mind you!!
BIZARRO !!
I’m not a big sports fan. Used to watch all the Texas-Aggie games but no longer do.
Sad about the Quarterback losing his chance at the Heisman but that’s sports for you.
Like another song - You Gotta Know When to Hold Em, Know When To Fold Em....etc.
Whoops, I meandered into Texas Hold Em!! lolol
.
Maybe you could take some in NYC off our hands!
NO thanks, I have enough troubles of my own!! I know to what you refer, will get to it soon.
Running out of Shiner Bock. Gotta go to bed now. Work tomorrow. God Bless the Lone Star Stae.
Obviously, I need more Shiner, since I can’t spell “state”
Well, we'll have Perry around for awhile yet - we just re-elected him. Corny and Kaye are up for re-election to the Senate in '12, though. I think they'll both be retired. Most Texas Republicans I talk to have had it with those two.
