Just out of curiosity--what part of PA are you from?

 

And, safe travels!

Hey, seriously, if you ever get this way... yell at me. Maybe I'll remember it from not having a wedding the next day. :lol:

Note to everyone: If ever presented with the challenge of facing Texsox in an arguement or posting war... Repeat the following statement and all will be right.

 

"Blue Bonnets Rule! Zeigenbach Rules! The Dixie Chicken Rules! Pat Green Rules!"

 

 

wait for response.

A Foreigner's Travel Guide to Texas

 

1) Don't expect to find filet mignon or pasta

primavera at the local restaurant. It's a cafe.

They serve hamburgers and chicken fried steak. Let

them cook something they know. If you confuse them,

they'll kick your ass.

 

2) Don't laugh at the names (Merleen, Bodie, Bubba,

Bobby Ray, Curley,Tammy Lynn, Billy Joe, Sissy,

Clovis, etc.). Or we will HAVE to kick your ass.

 

3) Don't order a bottle of pop or a can of soda.

In Texas it's called a coke. Nobody gives a damn

whether it's Pepsi, RC,Dr. Pepper, 7-Up or whatever -

it's still a coke. Accept it. Doing otherwise can

lead to an ass kicking.

 

4) We know our heritage. Most of us are more

literate than you (read some J. Frank Dobie). We are

also better educated and generally a lot nicer than

you. Don't refer to us as a bunch of cowboy hicks, or

we'll kick your ass.

 

5) We have plenty of business sense (e.g., Howard

Hughes, H. Ross Perot,Southwest Airlines, Dell

computers). Naturally, sometimes we have small

lapses in judgment (e.g., Phil Gramm). However, we

are not dumb enough to let someone move to our state

just so they can run for the US Senate. If anyone

tried to do that they would get a serious ass kickin'.

 

6) Don't laugh at our Civil War monuments. If Lee

had listened to Gen. Hood you'd be paying taxes to

Richmond instead of Washington. If you visit the

Alamo, take your hat off and be properly humble, or

we'll kick your ass.

 

7) We are fully aware of how hot it gets and high

the humidity is, so shut up about it. If you can't

stand the heat get out of the kitchen,or we'll kick

your ass.

 

8) Do not attempt to eat tamales without first

removing their corn husk casing. Everyone will

instantly know that you're a Yankee. DO NOT,

under any circumstances, complain that the chili is

TOO hot or contains no kidney beans, this will get

your ass kicked into next week.

 

9) Don't talk about how much better things are at

home because we know they are not. Many of us have

visited Northern hell-holes like Detroit,Chicago, and

DC, and we have the scars to prove it. If you don't

like it here, Delta is ready when you are. Move your

ass on home - before we kick it.

 

10) Yes, we know how to speak proper English. We

talk this way because we don't want to sound like you.

We don't care if you don't understand what we are

saying. All other Texans understand what we are saying

and that's all that matters. Now, go away, or we'll

kick your ass.

 

11) Don't ridicule our Texas manners. We say sir

and ma'am. We hold doors open for others. We offer our

seats to old folks. Such things are expected of

civilized people. Behave yourselves around our sweet

little gray-haired grandmothers, or they'll kick your

ass -- just like they did ours.

 

12) Don't think we're quaint or losers because most

of us live in small towns. We do this because we

have enough sense to not live in crime infested

cesspools like Baltimore. Make fun of our small towns

and we'll kick your ass.

 

13) DO NOT DARE to tell us how to cook barbecue.

This will get your ass shot (right after it is

kicked). Criticize the barbecue and you may go home

in a pine box minus your ass.

 

14) Remember, the only reason you are lucky enough

to be here in the first place is because we have not

pulled the Border Patrol off the Rio Grande and put

them on the Red River (where they really belong) to

keep your ass out.

 

15) ENJOY YOUR VISIT!!!!!

Cool... I was wondering what you decided.

You forgot the most important Texas rule.

 

Do NOT ask for Pinto beans in your chili. That will get your ass kicked, and then escorted to Arkansas, never to return again.
