Got to love a state that so openly uses the death penalty. Most states are trying to abolish the death penalty, but Texas is putting in an express lane. 
You gotta love Texas!

Quail, Texas has Quail !
I am accepted in TX.
Texans agree I was born in the wrong State (AR), terrible mix up...just terrible they say...
I fit right in. Roadside diner in the middle of nowhere..." dagburned feral cats" - is hollered out by the owner cook.
You just walk out back, shoot the feral cat,step back inside and your coffee has been topped of and that pie you ordered is brought to table...
"Hell yeah you can shoot it before you buy it"...step out back, shoot the targets out back...
"Yes officer I was speeding..don't wanna be late for a dove shoot"
"Best git on out of her son, hanging offense to be late ya know.."
No ticket, not even a warning...he did point out the short cut was taking the road Bobby and Sue got caught in Sue's momma's Buick though...
Did I mention he was in jeans, tennis shoes, driving a marked Mustang, and had a Rolling Stones T shirt on?
They really need to fix the doors at the Anatole. Seems everytime a Ferrai, Vette, Pantera, Lamborgheni...whatever, and some good looking honey gets out of one ...
The Antatole doors just rush up and run into me...
Texas is the only place I have shot pool on the back porch, shot at jackrabbits between shots, and had a gun bearer take care of cue, gun, and iced tea for me. Now that folks is hospitality!!

Yeah, I half expected that one. I do miss a few things about Dallas, but I will say that I like Oklahoma City more than Dallas. Actually, I like SW Oklahoma MUCH more than Dallas. I did more growin' up in that area off Highway 7 between Lawton and Duncan than I'm necessarily willing to admit (GO BRONCHOS!). When I finish up school here, moving my home out of Dallas will be priority #1.
But, I'll take Waco, Temple, Justin, Fredricksburg, Canyon, Amarillo, and possibly Cleburne over anyplace on Earth.

What's the name of that area downtown with all the Red Brick..several blocks square? The wife and I really enjoyed an afternoon there!
But, what's up with the Arbuckle Mountains?! Looked, but couldn't spot a single Mountain?! :O)
Lastly..San Diego has the Greatest climate on Earth!

Remember It Well!
Everyone here went bonkers!! It was great! Only downside, no one knew how to drive in it! '83 I think.
Measured 14" at the house. Just sat in front of a roaring fire, cleaning my S&W model 65 with good pals Jack and Bud!

I live just outside Memphis, and work in the city. I hate Memphis. Dorked-up city, dorked-up politics, dorked-up...well, most everything else, too. My brother lives in Texas and says he wouldn't come back here for anything, and I'm inclined to agree after only a couple of visits. An' I don't like the Grizzlies, neither. Left them Memphis folks with a dern stadium that nobody can use that ain't even paid for yet (the Pyramid). Glad my tax dollars are spent in Mississippi.
But I gotta take issue with one thing: if somebody thinks the BBQ in any place west of the Mississippi is better than what's in Memphis, they've just gotta be plumb nuts.
It just don't get no better'n Neely's. The art of BBQ is all in the sauce. And BBQ is pork, not beef. Anybody can cook beef over some raggedy ol' desert tree that smells nice burnin'.

Pebac...I'd take up that challenge. Here in my fair town...(nameless to protect the innocent) there is a pork BBQ place that is only open 2 days a week from 10AM to 9PM....that's it. And baby let me tell you...there's a line to get in. The owners ain't greedy and everyone wants what they've got....I can't even tell you how many trophys they have on the wall from traveling around (including memphis) in BBQ competitions....and won.
As for BBQ being pork...I love pork BBQ, and nobody does it better than those guys....however there is a place in a little town outside of Coleman Texas called the Smokin' Gun....a little hole in the wall and the only resteraunt in town. A guy that looks like a ZZ Top character walks up and says...."BBQ plate or BBQ meal, what'll it be?" You look up and ask..."what's the difference? He replies...the plate is a sandwich, the meal is ribs. We got the ribs...mesquite smoked so tender the meat practically fell off the bone. Oh Lord....I was 16 last time I ate there and I will never, to my dying day, forget how good that was. I don't think Memphis can top that.
Besides...in Memphis they try to hide their BBQ under a lump of coleslaw....who ever heard of such a thing?
BTW....the Smokin Gun only tea...sweet or unsweet...so forget that Pepsi.

Alduro, does this place happen to work on big trucks the rest of the week and be on Main Street in your unnamed town? If so that's the best BBQ you'll find.

Whats the Matter With Houston?
Mind you I live in Galveston, but there is nothing wrong with how friendly people are in Houston? Particularly if they're female - and blonde

I think this may say it all. A little love song to Texas written by the Austin Lounge Lizards.
Stupid Texas Song
Texas is a big state, North to South and East to West
Alaska doesn't really count, we're bigger than the rest
You can waltz across it, though, so grab your yellow rose
And sing another song of Texas--this is how it goes:
One more stupid song about Texas,
For miles and miles it rambles on
Biggest egos, biggest hair, biggest liars anywhere,
Let's sing another stupid Texas song
By God we're so darn proud to be from Texas--yahoo!
Even of our pride we're proud and we're proud of that pride, too
Our pride about our home state is the proudest pride indeed,
And we're proud to be Americans, until we can secede
One more stupid song about Texas,
You've heard it all before so sing along
Biggest belt buckles and boasts, love that big old Texas toast,
Let's sing another stupid Texas song
Our accents are the drawliest, our howdies are the y'alliest,
Our Lone Star flag's the waviest, our fried steak's the cream-graviest
Our rattlesnakes the coiliest, our beaches are the oiliest
Our politicians most corrupt, our stop signs most abrupt
Our guitars are the twangiest, our guns are the keblangiest.
Our cows are the Long-horniest, our yodels the forlorniest,
Our cookoffs are the chiliest, our Waylon is the Williest,
Our sausage is the smokiest, our neighbors are the Okiest
From Texarkana to El Paso, Dalhart down to Orange
Every spot in Texas has got what you're looking for
Aren'cha glad that Texas put the stars up in the sky?
If heaven isn't Texas, pardner, I don't want to die
One more stupid song about Texas, just 'cause we're braggin',
That don't mean it's wrong
Biggest heads and biggest hearts, biggest various body parts,
Let's sing another stupid Texas song
Toss your hats into the air, we're obnoxious (we don't care!)
Let's sing another stupid Texas song
One more blusterin', bumptious, bald faced, brazen, high flown, high-tone, dander-up, panderin',
pompous, puffed-up, snotty, swaggerin', stupid Texas song!
