In no particular order, and based on the Austin to Houston experiences of a New
Yorker only.
Flame suit on.... (all in jest) -> <grin>
1) Plenty of steers, but only met one queer.
2) Ford meets their sales quota for pickups in Texas.
Everyone has either an F150, or an F350 Dually.
No-one has the F250. Chevrolet and GMC owners are
outcasts.
3) Didn't see any gunracks in Austin, Houston, or the drive
in between.
4) Even Grandma drives a dually pickup with a 30 foot horse
trailer at 75mph in Texas.
5) McDonalds must be the official state restaurant.
6) Texas has great f#$king beef ribs, even in the crappy places.
7) I didn't know trailer homes/parks could be so nice.
8) A 50X50 yard is more than sufficient for 2 cows. They are
natural lawn mowers, and you can apparently sell the
fertilizer.
9) The only handguns I saw were owned by "tha law", and were
pistols, not revolvers.
10) Tex-centric aught to be a word in the dictionary, because
Texans believe the world revolves around the the Lone Star.
11) Apparently, the only reason Texas was on the losing side of
the Civil War was b/c they had to rely on 12 other states.
12) Stop touching me... People like to touch you in
Austin. "How ya'll doin today?" with a poke on the arm.
13) When I go into a store, I do not want to talk to the
cashier until I am ready to pay. And I do not want
to hear their life story.
14) Realtors get insulted when you tell them "Let's move on.
I don't like it."
15) What the hell is a mud tax? Please tell me they don't tax
us on MUD?
16) We went into about 10 bars in Austin, saw plenty of cowboy
hats, but not one line dancer. What gives?
All tongue in cheek... Yes, there is a good possibility this New Yorker will
be moving to (gulp) Texas within the next 6 months.... How the hell am I going
to get the Midget down there...
