Mid week humor!

ATTENTION ALL VISITORS TO THE SOUTH HERE'S THA RULES!

1. Pull up your pants and take that earring out. You look like an idiot.

2. It's called a "gravel road." No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your BMW. So, drive or git outta the way.

3. Yeah, we all started hunting and fishing before we started to school. Sure, we saw "Bambi" but we got over it.

4. Go ahead. Bring your $600 Orvis Fly Rod-but don't cry when a catfish breaks it off at the handle. We have a name for that little 10 inch bass you're fishing for-we call it "bait."

5. That bent-over farmer did more work before breakfast than you do all week, including your visits to the gym. He doesn't need your respect but he surely DESERVES IT.

6. If your cell phone rings while we're in the woods waiting on a buck, we'll shoot it. You might hope you don't have it to your ear at the time.

7. If you bring "Coke" into our homes, it'd better be brown, wet, and best served over a glass of ice.

8. You have a $60,000 car? We're not impressed. Heck, we drive tractors, cotton pickers and hay balers that cost a quarter million dollars-and we only drive them a few weeks each year.

9. Yeah, we eat catfish, deer, rabbit, and squirrel. You want sushi? It's available at the bait shop.

10. What's that? People are waving at you in your car and smiling at you on the streets? We call it being friendly. Try to understand the concept.

Good rules for visiting the South

simple and to the point.

For further educational experience, be sure to watch "King of the Hill" on Fox. I consider it to be more of a back home documentary than an adult oriented cartoon. I used to have to explain much of it to the other half, not anymore though .

Several of us misplaced Texans have had looong philosophical discussions on the finer points of the show. Supposedly "Arlen" is a combination of Arlington/Garland and a third town I can't recall at the moment. Closest thing to Sugarfoot's used to be a chain (least 'round Houston [the H is silent y'all]) was something like Gandy's BBQ, had the biggest danged spuds and hugh portions, but they went out of business long ago.

The thing the Missus had the hardest time understanding was the opening scenes with everyone standing out front slamming beers. I'd be chuckling quietly, remembering, and she would say something about not seeing the humor . Once i explained the Ice House meetings and the finer art of passing time, she understands, but it is a difficult concept for a CaliGirl to fully grasp.

GABBY'S, that's it, as in Gabby Hayes. Can't believe I couldn't remember the name last night, jeez, I mean I ate close to a complete herd by myself there. Of course it has been nearly 20 years since I last ate there.

Now on a side note, is Casa Elena (Mexican restaurant) still there at Kuykendahl and 1960? That was my favorite place to have mexican food and beer for breakfast (offshore days).

Dean, to the Physics Department:
"Why do I always have to give you guys so much money, for laboratories and expensive equipment and stuff. Why couldn't you be like the math department - all they need is money for pencils, paper and waste-paper baskets. Or even better, like the philosophy department. All they need are pencils and paper."
