Perhaps they could not say "a-dob-e".

The Alamo is quite possibly the most boring thing in San Antonio (and that's saying a lot). It's smaller than your first apartment.

-snort- 1/10. Guess you evidently don't remember the Alamo. It's bigger than an apartment. Next you'll be tellin' us that the Alamo's basement is too small, too.

/No, there's no basement.
//Saw the dedication ceremony for the USS San Antonio there.
///Problem-ridden ship, but a good idea.

A bunch of terrorist Mexican citizens got their just desserts for declaring war on their own government and starting an insurrection. Old story. Move on Texas.

everyone remembers The Alamo, but most have never heard of what happened at Goliad 3 weeks later....

/and BTW fark you Fannin.

by far, the best and most accurate Alamo movie ever made...... perhaps The Alamo II electric bugaloo will cover goliad, san jacinto, and then fast-forward to the annexation & mexican-american war...

/I want to warn you all, I'm a screamer.

These two knew how to care for their Alamo.

Save for the lost figure that was under the chair.

Passing through San Antonio, I had thought about stopping to see the Alamo. Any spare time we had was quickly lost when suddenly the right two lanes of I-10 became the the continuation of the freeway, and the far left became an off-ramp. And then as it turns out, I-10 has both upper, and lower decks...

I've always felt since then that that this sign summed up San Antonio's highway system quite nicely:

Pee-Wee's Big Adventure has more in common with San Antonio than just the Alamo.

I was in San Antonio last weekend and my big mistake was having my wife read the google map directions to me. Otherwise I fully agree.

Yes, there are thousands and thousands of uses for corn, all of which I'm going to tell you about right now!

Man, I haven't thought about that movie in a LONG time!

My mom was the manager of "The Game Keeper" store in the Glendale Galleria when they filmed the scenes there, and then after the movie came out. For months afterwards she would get all sorts of people coming in to see the back room where William Forsythe hacked the game. She would tell people that the room didn't exist, that it was just a broom closet they walked into. Most people believed her, but quite a few she had to open the door for and show them firsthand what "movie magic" really meant. I think they even started selling copies of Cloak and Dagger just because people wanted to say they bought the game at the same place in the movie.

A few years ago my wife and I watched it just so I could show her where I spent so much time as a kid at, as well as what the River Walk was like back in the 80's when her family went on vacation there. Lots of memories came flooding back. And as soon as I saw those big wooden doors with the Queen of Hearts my finger tips started to tingle as I remembered just how many splinters I caught off of them...

Looks like the Phil Collins Alamo museum with light-up storytelling narrated by Phil Collins.

/across from the Alamo
//seriously

The Alamo is an interesting story, if only as a way of showing the dedication of people to loving a story more than a history. It is still an inspiring place as it was much more than just a battle in 1836.

The Daughters of the Republic are a bunch of dumbarses anyways. They pick and choose the history of that place to the point where they have lost all credibility. De La Pena Diaries dammit!!!

 
Maggie_Luna 2009-12-01 06:51:44 PM  
I was raised in San Antonio so I'm getting a kick out of this!

THIS

Those beetches wont allow photos to be taken inside the Alamo but they WILL allow freaking Temporary Tattoos and Toy Muskets to be sold in the gift shops they built into on of the original structures. I partially blame them for the utter tourist trap that Downtown san Antonio has become. Right across the street from the Alamo there is a Ripleys Haunted House and plaza Theater of Wax. The Rivercenter Mall, Imax,Coyote Ugly and Rain-forest Cafe are all within a short walking distance from the Alamo.

"What's your name?"
"I don't remember."
"Where are you from?"
"I don't remember."
"Don't you remember anything, son?"
"I remember.....the Alamo."

woohoo!!

Ah, yes, where brave Jim Bowie died for the right to bring slave labour into a free country to work his plantations the cause of freedom.

/can't be telling the truth about history, kids might get the wrong idea...

So true, jimpoz. A conquered country rarely loses its original culture, it's only diluted.

Aren't these women the ones who stand around with signs that say something like "This is a shrine" and shush you if you make too much noise? Damn I wish I had that much free time.
