Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong's Head Cantina - After Hours - Page 236

Rags walks into the Cantina and orders some lunch. A good old fashioned grilled cheeze sandwhich with some fries and to top it off, A brewski. Rags sits down at his usual booth and devours his meal. He of course didn't eat the parts that included puke. Rags gulps down the rest of his drink and pays his tab. He walks over to GT and says, "Wow, I didn't think you'd find Talena cute at all." Rags then walks back out of the Cantina and Boards his massive dreadnaught and flies off to his homeworld.

Mlmbd, maybe I stand corrected by I always thought that chasing down old ladies was an excellent Saturday night tradition in Texas, along with boot throwing, cattle whomping and rubbing lard all over yourself.

Note to English people and other europeans planning to travel to the USA, avoid Texas at all costs, also avoid Cheyenne - Wyoming at all costs especially on Saturday nights as I have found, from painful personal experience, that pissing yourself laughing at everybody wearing lumberjack shirts, jeans, cowboy boots and stetsons on a Saturday night is a sure way to cause offence. Also suggesting that Shania Twain looks like she would provide a "tuppeny upright" is also guaranteed to have a cowboy boot land in your gob at a rapid rate of knots

I've never chased an old lady (a female over the age of 65) down, on any day. No self respecting Texan would ever throw his/her boots. Now you got me on the cattle whomping and the rubbing lard all over yourself! But they are not actully 'Saturday night traditions'! They apply 24/7/365!

Avoid Texas at all cost. I had no idea you hated an entire state!

OK, fair comment mlmbd, I dont hate the whole state of Texas, just the bits with Texans in them

, I am more of a fan of New Mexico and Arizona I must admit

GT, well I was born in 'Albuquerque, New Mexico'. I also like Arizona. 30 years ago I worked for Fred Harvey's in the 'Painted Desert' and the 'Grand Canyon'. Very beautiful country.

Yeah, not a bad place. I like Santa Fe, really nice town. I also like Flagstaff, very strange place but kind of like some of the smaller towns you get in Scotland.

Still think Canada has the edge....

The Cities (DFW, San Antonio, Austin and Houston) are a little more civilized. they tend to have the usual misdeeds as other cities. Actually its the small town you have to watch out for, the smaller the town the more careful you need to be.
You never know completely for sure who is related to who or in what way. plus they have the strangest customs in some cases. but in defense if Texas i will say you can find a little bit of everything here.
the one thing i didnt like about living in San Antonio was to get anywhere out side of Texas (except to Mexico) you had to travel forever. Once you made it out of Texas your trip was half way over.

edit> also if you dont like the weather give it 10mn and it will change.

Sometimes it's good to take off your shoe and throw it...

George Bush is not anti-environment. He just love Texas so much, he wants the whole world to look like it.

Texas brings back very fond memories. the top two are "the day I got there" and "the 3 days I left"

Isn't that Cow tipping? not whomping

how do you tip a cow? give it a dollar.

Your shoe's, OK! But not your Boots!

Gryphin, yes Sir. I worked at the Yavaphi Lodge and the El Tavor in the Grand Canyon. I was dinner cook at the El Tavor, and I ran the kitchen at the Yavaphi. Was there in the late 60's. You wintered at Fred Harvey's?
