I've been to Texas. I didn't see no steers.

I've suspected as much.

I knew those tight jeans and cowboy boots stood for something other than cowboy fashion. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I think I will laugh for a good three days at that.

Gives all new meaning to the term "rootin' tootin'".

I can see how having accurate data like what they are describing in the article is useful when your income is based on a free market commodity, but honestly, the government doesn't have to be the one to track statisitics like these. Create industry-standard institutions to do this.

And have these farmers pay for it? This is an outrage!!!

It begs the question. Do jeans even come in a size that's normal anymore? You know, somewhere between "Look at my genitals" and "I got used to these in prison"? And can I get a pair that aren't "pre-stressed" or "midnight blue"? farking fashionistas have ruined casual clothes.

But back to the article:

Mmmmm... catfish.

That was my first thought.

I'd like to see what the government's interest in these numbers is, though. Deregulation (and the like) should always be accompanied by an analysis of why the regulation was installed in the first place. Deregulation via budget cuts is just a cowardly way of avoiding honest discussions.

You, sir, are dangerously close to messing with Texas.

I read that headline as "Texas was the undisputed king of penises", but knew that couldn't possibly be right. Pricks maybe, but not penises.

A thread on an out-of-context quote and no creationists?

No, pansies. The prick aspect you are familiar with is a common attempt at compensation.

Don't get your pansies in a wad over it.

The amazing thing about this story is that it costs them $11,000,000 to produce a few reports. With inefficiency like this...

I have lived a colorful life, but have only witnessed one massive street beatdown.

A co-worker had been working in the oilfields for ten years, getting his degree at night. We were in Memphis at a convention and we passed this group of guido-esque guys who notices the co-worker's Texas Longhorns cap.

Guido one starts in with that tired "steers and queers"
crap.

Co-worker turns around and says "what?"

Guy was a little less bold.

"You know. steahs and queahs."

I have never seen somebody in real life hit someone right in the face that hard. I guess that asshole shiat fingernails for a week. His friends tried to help him, only to get kicked in the balls so hard they puked.

I will admit to being a pussy, and wanted to get out before the cops showed up to clean up the blood.

Mess with Texas all you want, but if you attack the blue collar types, don't say I didn't warn you.

Actually Georgian, but I'm sure you'll dig up some unflattering picture of a two-toothed redneck sitting on a sofa in his front yard or something- Not that Texas isn't also filled to the brim with those. =)

Co-worker of mine used to work in a prison. He told me that the Texan prisoners would often talk a big game, but they had the near-magical ability to become invisible whenever something went down.

IMHO, most of what is currently wrong with this country originated in Texas. I'm entitled to that opinion and can express it gleefully if I so desire.

/so there.

Pete White: I'm not gonna fight him. They can't make me fight him.
Shore Leave: White, you are such a pansy!
Pete White: I'm a pansy? You're calling me a pansy?
Shore Leave: Oh, I get it. I'm out and proud and I'm the pansy. I'm brave enough to be who I am in the face of arseholes like you and I'm the pansy. Maybe when you come out of the closet, you can walk a mile in my Jimmy Choos.
Pete White: I am so not gay.
Shore Leave: With that pink shirt and that oh so sad dye job.
Pete White: I'm an albino and this is my lucky shirt, it was red when I bought it.
Shore Leave: I hope I fight you next, you big pansy!
