“Where in hell are you from, anyway, Private?”
whoever has the money and the institutions rules the world. The libs have it. I don't see anyway around it.
"Texas? Only two things come out of Texas, boy...steers and queers."
Dallas has always been a gay mecca, nothing new here.

Okay...but the big question is "Can he stay on for eight seconds?"
Kinda changes the meaning of some of these lyrics:
"BIG D" (by Frank Loesser from "The Most Happy Fella")
Ev'nin', ma'am.
Would you mind sayin' that again?
I said, 'Ev'nin', ma'am.
Ev'nin', ma'am'!
Mister, you've got a way of sayin'
Ev'nin', ma'am
That puts me in a friendly state of mind.
Would you mind sayin' that again
I mean 'friendly state'.
Friendly state.
Sister you've got a way of saying
'Friendly state
'That gives me the impression
You're my kind.
Would you mind sayin' 'crazy crystal'.
'Crazy crystal!'
would you mind saying 'nieman marcus'.
'Nieman marcus'.
Wait a minute!
Wait a minute!
You're from Big D
I can guess
By the way you draw!
And the way you dress
You're from Big D
My, oh Yes
I mean Big D little a, double l-a-s
And that spell Dallas
My darlin', darlin' Dallas
Don't it give you pleasure to confess
That you're from Big D
My, oh Yes
I mean Big D, little a double l-a
Big D, little a double l-a
Big D, little a double l-a-s
And that spell Dallas
Where ev'ry home's a palace
Cause the settlers settle for no less
Hooray for Big D
My, oh Yes
I mean Big D, little a double l-a
Big D, little a double l-a
Big D, little a double l-a-s
You're from Big D
I can guess
By the way you draw!
And the way you dress
You're from Big D
My, oh Yes
I mean Big D little a, double l-a-s
And there's oil all over your address
Back home in Big D
My, oh Yes
I mean Big D, little a double l-a
Big D, little a double l-a
Big D, little a double l-a-s
And that spells Dallas
I mean it with no malice
But the rest of Texas looks a mess
When you're from Big D
My, oh Yes
I mean Big D, little a double l-a
Big D, little a double l-a
Big D, little a double l-a-s
Big D, Big D
Talkin' 'bout big D, big D
Oil! Oil! Oil! Cattle! Cattle! Cattle!
My, oh Dallas, Dallas, Dallas, Dallas!
Big D! Little A double L-A-S!
And that spells Dallas
My darlin', darlin' Dallas
Don't it give you pleasure to confess
That you're from big D
My, oh yes
I mean

Little A, double-A
