I once heard an interesting story from a tire guy that Foyt was given two sets of very special Goodyears for Indy in 1977 on the condition that he retire after the race.

What is it about Texans that prompt them to put a Texas flag on everything? (e.g. his car). Most any other American would put a US flag there. I certainly wouldn't put a Jersey flag on my car but then that's mostly because it is an ugly, non-descript sort of thing that doesn't even have the words "New Jersey" on it. ;)

And oh yeah, nice shoes... and socks.

As a new (5+ years) resident I can't explain it but you do see the Texas flag all over the place down here. Many people fly both the US and Texas flags in their front yard. It is even more common for people to have the Texas Star on their house somewhere.

because Jersey's a sewer. and Texas is glorious. http://www2.hornfans.com/wwwthreads/images/icons/texasflag.gif :p


That and there's loads of history here from before Texas even joined the Union.

See. There it is again. It seems Texans must be a bit insecure to be boasting all the time. Either that or they are just trying to justify why they live in such a flat, hot, humid, treeless place. :p

As for the sewer I live in I like it pretty well

Oh yeah, the part about the egomaniac who stole a bunch of wasteland from the Mexicans so he could start his own country. Fails to compare to the couple hundred years of history in NJ before some fanatics led a revolution against the King. (I've lived in houses older than Texas) ;)

Y'all need to hire some better history faculty at Rutgers. :) Stephen F. Austin set out as nothing more than a land developer, establishing settlement colonies under Mexican charter, and aided the Mexican govt whenever called upon. When Santa Anna began to dissolve state legislatures, disband organized militias, and abolished the Mexican Constitution, Texians rebelled.

What any of this has to do with egomania or a wasteland, I have no idea. But it's a wasteland that attracts loads more people than the rustbelt. :p

You're smart and everything. maybe you should devote more time to womens. :D

There is yet to be a deoderant that can tame these hairy carpeted pits. :tony:

Texass trivia:
did you know that the Texas flag is the only one in the Union that can be flow at the same height as an American flag:irked:

[Ankf00]

Every state is allowed to do the same, Professor. :gomer:

[TKGAngel]

Every state is allowed to do the same, Professor.

Ank's right. The only caveat is that the state flag (or any other flag displayed with the US flag) cannot be larger in size than the US flag.

Austin and his 300 families (actually wasn't it Austin's dad?) were indeed initially motivated to settle Catholic families in a Catholic frontier, and the Mexican government did more than a little to piss him off. (take his land away, put him in jail, etc.), but if not for the influx of Yankees, the Native Americans ans Spanish would not have been able to pull off the Texas Revolution.

In fact, there probably wouldn't have even been a need for it since the reason Spain/Mexico wanted Austin and others immigrating in the first place is because they couldn't get Mexicans to live there.

I doubt too that it was an accident that de Zavala was the only major Mexican leader in the Republic of Texas. The rest were Gringos.

The way it was taught to me, Americans that emmigrated to Mexican Texas did not have long term plans to keep it in Mexican control and the US was happy to let it happen the way it did because it added territory without having to settle if it would be a slave state or not.

As for the stink in NY, funny thing is it didn't stink in Jersey, they never found the source, and NY likes to blame NJ for anything unpleasent. Besides, to quote Letterman, "What stinks in Jersey, stays in Jersey.

If I were from Texas, (and were to put up a state flag) I'd be putting the original up. Quite a story...

"come and take it" was derived from from Leonidas' response at Thermopylae to Xerxes I's demand that the Greek surrender their arms (much as the Mexican government demanded Gonzales surrender it's cannon): "Come take them." It had to have been, the incidents are too similar.
