Rules of Texas:

1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.

2. Let's get this straight; it's called a "gravel road." I drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.

3. They are cattle & oil wells. That's what they smell like to you. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-20 and I-10 go east and west, I-35 goes north and south. Pick one.

4. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $250,000 cotton strippers that are driven only 3 weeks a year.

5. So every person in every pickup waves. It's called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.

6. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of doves are coming in, we WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.

7. Yeah, we eat catfish & crawfish. You really want sushi & caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop.

8. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.

9. We open doors for women. That is applied to all women, regardless of age.

10. No, there's no "vegetarian special" on the menu. Order steak. Or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham & turkey.

11. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and Picante Sauce! Oh, yeah.... We don't care what you folks in Cincinnati call that stuff you eat... IT AIN'T REAL CHILI!! Chili was born and bred in San Antonio....and real chili never met a tomato!

12. You bring "coke" into my house, it better be brown, wet, and served over ice. You bring "Mary Jane" into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.

13. College and High School Football is as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.

14. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards --it spooks the fish.

15. Colleges? Try Texas Tech, Texas A&M or University of Texas. They come outta there with an education plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at passing pickups when they come for the holidays.

16. We have more folks in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines, than any other state, so "Don't Mess with Texas," If you do, you will get whipped by the best.

17. Always remember what our great governor Sam Houston once said:

"Texas can make it without the United States, but the United States can't make it without Texas!"

The best thing about Texas is that it is the only state which can legally secede from the union.
The worst thing about Texas is that it hasn't.

We ain't supid. Can you imagine the flood of immigrants from the other states wanting to be a Texan? Staying a state is part of our population control.

Good grief. No beans is just assumed. You start adding things like tomatos and beans, you have stew, not chile!

I think it was listing major state institutions, TCU, Rice, Smu, etc, are private.

Oh brother

What is it the heat down there or something?

Let's see you guys were just a bunch of Mexicans while we East coasters were building the greatest country in the history of mankind.

Here is another tidbit to be proud of

Texas boasts that "Six Flags" have flown over its soil: the Fleur-de-lis of France, and the national flags of Spain, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the United States of America and the Confederate States of America.
Nice guys...bunch of women...can't make up your mind...pick a side would ya

Oh and I hate to break it to ya...but y'all ain't nothing more than a bunch of transplanted East coasters who couldn't cut it here and ran west for hopes of a better life.

Texas...yea...

And the star spangled banner was born right here....




Sing it proud like the first Marylanders did...

Texas...HA!

Ya'll can have your 6 flags, high heat & humidity, immigration issues, and long spaces of nothing.

In Maryland...

we get all 4 seasons including white Christmases
no tornadoes,
no hurricanes,
no earthquakes,
no mudslides,
no real flooding

We got every kind of terrain other than desert.

We have psycho liberals running the state..ok wait that is bad...

If we had the Texan political landscape we'd be the perfect state.

You obviously know very little about Texas. What is your post count? Why don't you help some people out instead of these worthless posts you are putting out?
