whats up with Texas???

[Sir Sudster]

Well, my great-grandma is Texan, so I guess I have roots here.

Didn't ya know that all grandmas are great if their from Texas.Sorry to hear your in Houston.... you need to take a road trip to Austin, San Antonio and Dallas to get the real flavors.

Personal 'Dad's Army' reply to Blighty on my mental illness.... 'Stupid boy....'

"Now listen here Jones, I'm the commanding officer here, so you'll follow my lead, <whispers> and I'll see you later about that pound of tripe..."

Sorry about the 'mental illness' quip Caplan. It's just that it seems that this country goes so loopy over football, and I don't agree with how much those players get payed. However I suppose it is the one thing that really brings the nation together, and the world cup (which I do really enjoy watching) tends to bring out all the national flags...so I suppose it is good in it's way.

 

[Walker]

Pumbaa, I thought all of those facts were true of Chuck Norris, not Favre.

I didn't take it personally Blightly! (There's a pound of those sausages you like Mr Mainwaring Sir... ) I agree the Premiership is full of overpaid and overated players - The World Cup certainly brings out the best in Football. I'm looking forward to it!

*gets stick nice and sharp*

*thrust*
Translates out to Soccer is played by everyone we whooped up on or bailed out

Or did you guys just have a tantrum because you weren't very good and thought 'We'll make up our OWN game to play in the corner on our own. Then we'll always be best...."

And OUCH!!!!! QUIT it with the stick - you'll have my eye out!!!

Brett Farve is the quaterback for the Greenbay Packers.......
Questions?

Heres one! Which is a faster death - 60 yard pass or roundhouse?

 

[Walker]

Actually, I'm wondering how big of a crater it would create if Favre threw a 60 yard pass and Chuck roundhouse'd it in mid-air.

Would the world survive to measure it???

 

[Walker]

sorry.. I should have been more clear. "How big of a crater would it leave in the fabric of space & time?"

 

[Caplan]

It's hypothetical Walker. Surely it's mutually assured destruction that stops them trying? No women or steaks would be left....

 

[El Pistolero]

"How big of a crater would it leave in the fabric of space & time?"

Sorry to get technical, but it's the fabric of space/time, not space & time...unless of course you're an ID proponent, in which case it's burlap.

Roundhouse Kick To The Head

Roundhouse Kick To The Head

Begone little man...your kung fu has no effect on me.

 

[Caplan]

El P - Stop gloating!! when you gonna give walker his bike back?

 

[AllHoppedUp]

Brett Farve is the quaterback for the Greenbay Packers.

• He is greater then the second comming of Jesus.
• . . . .
• yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda . . .
• . . . .
• Charles Darwin based his "survival of the fittest" theory on Brett Farve.

Questions?

All above is true as long as long as there is a decent line in Green Bay to protect Jesus . . . I mean Brett Favre . . . and a healthy running back to keep the opposing defense honest. Otherwise he's posting good enough scores for soccer matches but not quite enough for the NFL. Maybe he better retire to steak house exhibitions while he's still good at it . . .

 

[El Pistolero]

El P - Stop gloating!! when you gonna give walker his bike back?

When he gives me my wig back.

 

[Caplan]

When he gives me my wig back.

Children children, play nicely..... HANG ON! that lycra cycle suit AND an Afro???
Walker - let him keep the bike, post the wig and DUCK.

Does anyone have Chuck AND Brett's Cellphone numbers? If so tell em to aim for Texas!!!!

 

[Walker]

I think I have Chuck's number on my caller ID. sonofa-B keeps calling me at all hours and whining about his problems.

[Pumbaa]

um . . . .

ahhhh . . . .









Brett allowed Chuck to borrow them . . . .

yeah thats it

He took mercy on the collection of crap that tried to claim to be the Packers this season and . . . and . . . and . . .

Ok they did suck monkeynutz this year but it wasnt Bretts fault. He probably woulda played better if it was 11 on 1 instaed of what looked like to be 21 on 1

Oh yeah, I can just see him drilling himself with a 60 yard pass . . . it would be entertaining play-by-play wouldn't it?

"Favre hikes it to Favre out of the shotgun. Favre drops back, going through his progression like every good quarterback does . . . he's looking off the defenders. It's a deep throw across his body to the left side of the field! FAVRE IS WIDE OPEN! TOUCHDOWN FAVRE! THE PACKERS WIN THE SUPERBOWL! THE PACKERS WIN THE SUPERBOWL!! Brett Favre will likely be the MVP of this game."

 

[DeRoux's Broux]

Nobody's actually from Texas.

uh, wait a minute. 3rd generation bro!

Houston has a lot to offer, it's just soo damn big and not easy on the eyes.....

easy goin', good people, good food.....

 

[Sir Sudster]

Absolutely..DB. But she's in Houston. I was just saying to not judge Texas by
one city alone. But, I have to say that it didn't smell to good there the last
time I was down there.

i gotcha bro! i think the Texas Hill Country is God's country myself...
see, my sense of smell is shot from being raised here! cancer capital of the world.....what a trait hu?

 

[Baron von BeeGee]

I think I would have gone certifiable while living in Dallas if it hadn't been for sneaking out to Austin once a month or so.

My only trip to Houston was actually for a catamaran regatta at Texas City. The water was...interesting.

 

[Sir Sudster]

I hear ya Man! I lived in Dallas for 32 years. Had to move somewhere with
less density. I first moved to New Hampshire for 2 years but got claustrophobic.
Had to move back to Texas with the big sky. We decided we would move to Austin considering the size
and also my wife has family here.

I'm glad I did it.

the water is muddy brown, like gumbo roux. hell, we call the soil here gumbo mud. it's almost black.

That's what was interesting! That and the refineries that looked like huge blue torches at night.

Sudster, I said they'd never get me back in TX alive, but actually Austin wouldn't be too bad if I were to survive the summers somehow. The mountain biking was incredible, not to mention the beer, food and music. Once I started having dreams in Dallas almost every night about waterfalls and green mountains I called a friend back in NC, got a job at his company in about 6 weeks, and hit the highway leaving a pretty good woman and the big D behind.

My wife actually wanted to move to NC. I actually did some phone interviews with companies there. She wanted to be close to the Smokies. She almost got her way.

the hi-pro glo. it's an orange hue in the night sky all the time. from the flares burning and the lights from all the towers, reactors, and support strucutres. we have two decent sized bridges (large enough for ocean going oil tankers to go under) and when you go over at night, it's an interesting site. looks like mini New York City's clumped up together.

 

[God Emporer BillyBrew]

Permisson to speak Sir! (just caught your ref in an earlier post Blighty tonight!)
I'll bite on cgravier's 'football = kick' quip.
Read the words.....FOOT - BALL. Do those two words imply THROWING/CARRYING a NON SPHERICAL object as the main part of the game?
NO. The US created a totally new game that NO ONE ELSE in World want's to get involved in as it's so dull.
Soccer (as it's called) has a WORLD CUP. That means a sport that's played WORLDWIDE!!! (The US held it in 1994 when Jackie Charlton's boys almost made me want to big up my distant Irish bloodlines - any US memories anyone???? I guess not...)
Hell, Rugby is bad enough but at least it flows as a game and it's played by a few more countries!

Yeah, whatever, you guys all want to be like we are in the US. Heck, you even speak OUR language.
