You couldn't pay me to move there. And I was born and raised in Texas. And moved back there for a year and a half about 5 years ago. It was as hot and miserable and ugly as I remembered. And full of illegals. And arrogance.
No disrespect intended to the 5 Texans that are not that way ;)
Truth be told, we pay some Texans to be rude to outsiders just to scare them away, because we want yall to feel reeaalll unwelcome.
After all, you know what they say about those great hidden secrets, right? Well we Texans consider our state to be one of the best kept secrets in America. That's why we allow all the redneck jokes to be passed around.
Actually, we Texans love all Freepers, because regardless of what state you come from, if you are a member of FR then you are probably going to be good for our state.
So any FReepers moving from California can bypass the written test and go straight to the initiation process that all those moving from other states must go through after they pass the written exam. Oh don't worry none, it's a real fun initiation that will allow you to officially join the elite fraternity of good old boy Texans, like myself.
The initiation is carried out by a judge of highly respected and well trained judges.
You can check out the judges putting a couple of recent transplants from SF through the initiation process in this video put out by our welcoming committee. These happy dudes are now residing someplace in the West Texas panhandle.
