Sorry about my lack of posting yesterday. I've had a headache since Monday. The following list is for the out-of-state visitors that might happen across my site today! For all Texans that do, you will recognize and agree with each of these.
There is no place like the Lone Star State...... You know you're in Houston when....
The Farm to Market roads have 7 lanes.....
Everyone you know has seen a roach the size of the Taco Bell Chihuahua....
When your neighbor is seen dancing around his front yard, he has not just won the lottery...he just stepped in a fire ant bed.....
The name Bud Adams makes you snarl...and Bum Phillips is not a bad screwdriver......
You go to work in short sleeves and a blue norther blows in at noon and drops the temperature to 34 degrees. . .Two days later you still run your air conditioner....
You know "Dad Gummit" does not mean your father practiced bad dental hygiene.....
You know "Y'all" is a proper address to one friend..."All Y'all" is proper when addressing more than one friend....
Spring is not a season, Katy is not a lady, and 1960 is not the year...(town, town, road)
You've lived in Houston for 30 years and have never seen IH-10 or I-45 in any other condition than under construction....
You leave your house to head out of town....an hour later you are still in city limits....During rush hour, you are still in your neighborhood.....
Real Mexican food is Tex-Mex....
A 747 with the space shuttle on top has flown low over your house....
You are still upset that Marvin Zindler shut down The Chicken Ranch..
If humidity is below 90% it is a good hair day for your wife....
You know Mattress Mac can save you money, and has more of it than the U.S. Treasury....
Big floods make it harder to find the big catfish.....
Your neighbors truck is just as tall as his house and worth the same...
You still get sentimental when someone yells Luv Ya Blue, even though the Oilers went to Nashville years ago....
You go to a society function and matronly woman still have big hair....
You know that real chili is made with chopped (not ground) beef, and there are no beans or tomato sauce in it.....
No one speaks English any more in Bellaire.......
Gas is $2.15 a gallon and everyone still wants to buy F-350 one ton, crew cab 4 wheel drive trucks.....
Everyone knows Mama Ninfa......
B-B-Q is made with beef....not pork.....
Men come to town for supplies and they have spurs on.....
Your daughter turns 16 and wants a truck for a school car....You buy her a lift kit and Ranch Hand bumper for Christmas.....
You know a pit is what you cook on....
A good fishing boat can do 80mph in 10 inches of water.....
A game warden catches you with an expired fishing license and allows you to take defensive fishing classes.....
