YOU ARE FROM TEXAS IF:
You are a graduate of the University of Texas or the University of Texas or the University of Texas or......
The invitation "Ya'al come" is real as 150 people turn up
for a barbeque.
You go to visit your next door neighbor and arrive 4 hours later.
You drive a truck with horns attatched to the grill (animal
horns that is).
You wear a Stetson to the office and anywhere else.
You speak Spanish and English.
Your vehicle horn emits the sound of a bull.
You know that cowboys are not necessarily minding
cows for a living. They are chasing pig skin.
Your yard decor is a bleached steer skull.
You know a Texas Ranger is not a farm hand.
You know two meanings for the word "panhandle".
You know there is oil for cooking and then there
is OIL for $$$$$$.
******************
You are NOT from Texas if you think a bathroom
break in Wichita Falls will do til you make it
to Corpus Christi. The phrase "Daddy, are we
there yet", takes on new meaning.
You are not from Texas if you can't pronounce
oil, Lubbock, or Rio Grande River correctly.
**********************
A tad of History: 1820 MosesAustin was granted permission by
the Mexican government to begin a colony of Americans. He
died before carrying out his plan. His son, Stephen F. Austin
brought 300 American families to settle in the Mexican state
of Texas. Thus we have: San Felipe de Austin, Austin County
and the city of Austin.
There now you know more about Texas than you did and maybe
ever want to know.
There are 310 members of Adlandpro from Texas---go invite them to be on your list.
