God Bless ya Tex

We shouldn't be discussing mole, it's after 11pm and the local Mexican restaurant is CLOSED!

I guess I should be really ashamed on this TEXAS thread, but I like the cumin, garlic, peppers , hand chopped roast,will try the chocolate, but I will admit to adding some tomato paste, oh hell I doomed on this thread. While I'm doomed anyway I like to make chili beans, with PINTO beans screw the kidney bean crap,, that IS YANKEE chili.

TEXAS is my Heaven. There are no better people on earth than those in TEXAS. If it is possible to love dirt, I do...G-d Bless my beautiful TEXAS!

As soon as anyone anywhere in the world looks at it they know what it is. It's Texas. Pick any kid off the street in Japan and draw him a picture of Texas in the dirt and he'll know what it is.

Wow. That's even more-self-indulgent crap than I've seen from New Yorkers.

Self indulgent? Hell no, it's true. Even when I was in Russia they made a big deal about me being from Texas and literally asked me about oil wells.

[devane617]

Hmmm....I bet you are a light shade of green.

[groanup]

No I didn't know that and I'll bet you can't prove it. If Henry Cisneros is Spanish for Bill Clinton then groanup is Portugese for Elvis Presley. I actually went to Lukenbach during the fever of the song. It actually exists and it was nothing more than a post offic and a bar. But that didn't matter to the myriad people who flocked there. It was a trip, it was literally in the middle of nowhere and it was neat. The song made it a legend and when I went there, the guitar players and the groupies were everywhere.

Marge, the fierce-looking German-American lady who was the Postmaster, Mayor, Sheriff, J.P., and Bartender, sadly died last year.

1. Davey Crockett was a PENNSYLVANIAN - born and raised just outside Reading, PA in Birdsboro, PA. 2. "Montana is what you picture in your mind when you hear a Texan talk about Texas." - Wm. Faulkner, Travels with Charley 3. Texans are more filled with crap than people from any other state in the union. 4. Despite the arrogance, distorted view of reality, obsession with the TX state flag, etc, I like Texas and my friends from TX. But I wish they didn't have an inferiority complex. 5. When my son was in 1st grade in TX, he was told: a. "you aren't really a Texan unless your grandparents are born here." b. "TX is the biggest state in the union" - I had to use an almanac to show him the size of Alaska vs. TX. He responded, "SHE LIED TO ME!!!"

No, actually, she probably believed it... her grandparents were born there...

And the ghost of General McCulloch still resides in the Court House...

And then people wonder why American culture is being diluted and replaced by third world ones.

Mmmmmm.....annexation? My mole-making, nopalito-shaving, Texian-born (that's Texian, not Texan) gggggrandmother was playing Liszt on a grand piano very well before Texas was even a state. What's third world about that?

[groanup]

People in Norcross, GA only WISH they had scorpion problems. The people in Texas really do have scorpion problems. LOL.

Alaska's just a big block of ice with oil under it (which the libs won't let us get anyway). Alaska's only useful if you want to make a really large margarita.

[groanup]

I don't know anyone at Luckenbach. I wish I did, actually, because that was one place that I really had a good time.

I lived in Dallas for six years and it was pure hell, everyone out to screw ya. I had the wheels stolen off my vehicle twice (once on blocks and once not), my battery stolen several times, and my apartment broken into. Dallas looks nice, but is all about screw your neighbor. I got fired because I told my boss off on the day of the Challenger tragedy....everyone was listening to the radio and he said...."Turn that off and get back to work, them people are dead and they'll still be dead at 5:01 this afternoon". Its all about the dollar in Dallas.

Dallas is about as close to NYC as you can get in the South. And everyone drives about 80.

Living in Aubrey here and working in Plano. That's about as far south as I like to go around here.

I said they were little bitty ones. We were surprised that they really were scorpions! I ever knew we had them in GA until I saw them at my friend's house. The exterminator said they were pretty harmless just like a bee sting or non-poisonous spider bite.

[Richard Kimball]

The flag that flew above the Alamo was a Mexican flag with 1824 on it. Texas was not trying to secede from Mexico. Santa Anna had declared the 1824 Mexican Constitution void, and the Texans wanted him to reinstate it.

[Eaker]

"Houston" was the first word ever spoken on the Moon.

[groanup]

Oh, I know. I just am reminded that this is a thread about Texas. Whew. The scorpions out there are like mosquitos.
