Don't mess with Texas...........just give it back to Mexico
Someday I'm going to make millions with that bumpersticker...
>:P
Personally I've never seen a mosquito any bigger than a sparrow. I think it must have been mockingbirds that took his car and wallet.
I was raised in Houston and I can remember running behind the mosquito fogger trucks that would drive through our neighborhood. We always pretended the cloud of poison was magical fog to be danced in. I turned out just fine!
I stopped commuting in 1979...
been working out of my house since then!
"Don't mess with Texas...........just give it back to Mexico"
Drive your car down here with that bumper sticker on it. You know, just for the adventure of finding out what happens.
I have a better idea than what your slogan suggests. How about if Texas invades New York State and knocks some sense into them? Really, its no problem. They've already confiscated all their citizens' guns.
OH BOY, time for a drink! Maybe with one of them small umbrella thingys in it,
Just trying to learn what not to do. Problem is, Austin already does it.
I used to co-own property down in Houston with a Canadian partner. The texans used to call him a Yankee..as he tried to explain that he wasn't, but in the eyes of the world, they were. Dumb as cement. So you want to invade NY...do you need a map showing where I95 is?
Texas beat Mexico...lost to the North in the civil war, and is being reclaimed by Mexico...says alot about dumb and dumber.
OH boy I love it! Civil War on FreeRepublic!
Well, he (she? it?) has got us there. The Rio Grande often doesn't make it to the Gulf anymore. A lot of it evaporates off of Lake Amistad, more goes into watering crops on both sides of the river, where it also evaporates.
Mexico had an Army bigger than the US at that time. At the time of the civil war, most of what is now Texas, wasn't even settled. It consisted of a few counties along the Golf. There wasnt' much fighting in Texas, only a couple of minor battles. If Texas was in charge of the borders, instead of Washington DC, there be no reclaiming, such as it.
It seems to me though that the immigrants to Texas, even the illegals, do a lot better job of becoming Americans, than those that choose to go to California. Ain't nobody talking about Aztlan around here. If they did, those Hispanics whose ancestors were here when Austin arrived to form Gringo colonies would beat them to a bloody pulp. They don't want to become Mexicans. Nor do the descendents of more recent immigrants, legal or illegal.
Yeah! If ever there were a thread to just lurk on....this be it.
It is exactly two and one-half beers between Aviation and Imperial and the Winnetka off-ramp of the 405 in afternoon rushhour.
"I used to co-own property down in Houston"
"Used to", Good riddance.
"do you need a map showing where I95 is?"
Nope.
Do you mind terribly much if I smoke a cigarette in NYC City Hall once we're done?
"Texas beat Mexico...lost to the North in the civil war, and is being reclaimed by Mexico...says alot about dumb and dumber."
That, Sir, was astounding idiocy.
You know, I've seen this claim elsewhere. Seems to be conventional wisdom.
Do you have any idea why it is so?
Ya'all must be sippen!
Funny this guy should say that... bcause the last few days you sure can... It's hot and muggy as a jungle in LA right now
Wait a minute! This is a FORGED posting. There ain't no Winnetka off-ramp of the 405. You mean "vicinity of Winnetka"? Sorta like Harkin flew in Vietnam--oh wait Vietnam ERA
Canoga????
Hot and muggy is right! So as a bonus a big problem developed in Moorpark today- Edison station, needing major repairs, SO they announced that they will have rolling blackouts, an hour each for the next few days to energize the new equipment.
