Are you drinking and trying to pick up girls yet?

2. Let's get this straight; it's called a 'gravel road.' I drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.

3. They are cattle & oil wells. That's what they smell like to you. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-20 and I-10 go east and west, I-35 goes north and south. Pick one.

4. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $250,000 cotton strippers that are driven only 3 weeks a year.

5. So every person in every pickup waves. It's called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.

6. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of doves are coming in, we WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.

7. Yeah, we eat catfish & crawfish. You really want sushi & caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop.

8. The 'Opener' refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.

9. We open doors for women. That is applied to all women, regardless of age.

10. No, there's no 'vegetarian special' on the menu. Order steak. Or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham & turkey.

11. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and Picante Sauce!! Oh, yeah, we don't care what you folks in Cincinnati call that stuff you eat. IT AIN'T REAL CHILI!! Chili was born and bred in San Antonio and real chili never met a bean!

12. You bring 'coke' into my house, it better be brown, wet, and served over ice. You bring 'Mary Jane' into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.

13. College and High School Football is as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.

14. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards -- it spooks the fish.

15. Colleges? Try Texas Tech, Texas A&M or University of Texas. They come outta there with an education plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at passing pickups when they come for the holidays.

16. We have more folks in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines, than any other state, so 'Don't Mess with Texas'. If you do, you will get whupped by the best.

17. Always remember what our great governor Sam Houston once said: 'Texas can make it without the United States, but the United States can't make it without Texas!'

Texas is the greatest state ever!!

The stereotype that this list perpetuates ****** kills me. Someone should get Matthew McConaughey to read it, those two deserve each other.

Does your indie work on BMWs??? If so, I need his number....

Speaking of which, does anyone want to meet up for dinner so I can put some names to faces???? Anyone free like Wednesday??? I got nothing but time, and a car, so lets make this happen.... A 2 hour drive is cool with me...

Don't really know...but since he was a former dealership MB tech, I would doubt it.

I'm game! And even if we got the Arlington/Dallas/Fort-Worth/Denton folks to meet somewhere, it shouldn't be more that a 45 minute drive to meet at a central location.

Sweeeet.....

You have any places in mind? I know nothing about the area, other than where both the Frys are, and where my Hotels are at.....

davidmash · #36 08-05-2008, 01:09 AM

I am off at 5pm on Wed so that might work. If you like Mexican food, Joe T Garcias in Fort Worth is good. My wife says the margaritas are great. It's right near the Stock yards.

I'll have to ask the wife and see what time she gets home but Wed night might be doable.

DeliveryValve · #37 08-05-2008, 02:19 AM

Justin, Go into Dallas and get lost in Deep Ellum. There's plenty of Bars there.... That is if your the drinking type...

I am going to be in Las Vegas for a while, so you may want to give me a call on the way back.

Today or tomorrow I will hit their best and biggest and best junkyard and see what Mercedes Benz cars are there, I have been told that there are a lot of them

If you would like to caravan back from there in that BMW don't try and mess with my AMG

Coming out to Palm Springs yesterday, some guy in a brand new 330i did just that, and he tried hard, out of Barstow on I 15.

Over 135 mph I just ran away from him, and he caught me a couple of times when traffic got heavy but once it cleared it was Good Night Nurse and I just ran away from him

The cork is not yet out of the bottle at 152 mph on this 17 year old car

If you like BBQ, check out Clark's Outpost in Tioga. If you have a free weekend, you might see about getting a room at the lodge at Ray Roberts State Park. I guess it's a little too hot to be doing much outdoors there right now.

In Dallas, we enjoyed the area down by the Gypsy Tea Room (which I believe closed its doors, sadly). There always seem to be good bands playing at the clubs down there.

davidmash · #40 08-05-2008, 01:30 PM

So whats the deal. Are we going to try and meet up tomorrow or what? My wife wants to know what the parameters are. Must be a chick thing, she wants to know if it's a boys night out and she will be a fifth wheel or not.

I'm off at 5p and can probably be where ever we decide on between 630-7p

iwrock · #41 08-05-2008, 03:20 PM

I do not know anything about Texas, but a meet at about 6.30PM tomorrow sounds good. The person that I am traveling with is vegetarian, so wherever we go has got to have some sort of vegetarian menu....

Whats a good, central point??? Frys??? (Its the only thing I know how to get to out here....)

E150GT · #42 08-05-2008, 03:26 PM

Let me know if you come to San Antonio

A vegetarian in Teaxs? Hell no!! We shoot them for sport out here. Is he wearing body armor?

Hmmm that leaves out Joe T's for sure. Let me ask my wife when she gets home. There was a place we ate at recently that had vegi stuff as well as carnivore stuff.

What Fry's are you referring to? There is one up the street from us on I20 and Matlock in Arlington.

Yeah, thats the one....

We went to Panda Express today to grab food, and the guy working there didnt even know that they still served Tofu.....

In California, Eggplant Tofu is a standard menu item, but over here, the guy had no idea what we were talking about....
