I thought that was the state SPEED BUMB?
Well, folks, I was going to surprise you, and show up there, with some friends. Unfortunately, plans have fallen through. DAMN!!!! I REALLY wanted to be there and represent the south east coast. I am SO bummed! Unfortunately, seeing I am not working, I cannot afford to go by myself! DAMN! I was SO looking forward to it!
Well, have fun, peeps! You don't know how much I was looking forward to joining you wonderful people (even if you are Texans ...)!

Did you know that the armadillo was first bred and raised in Vegas. It was a cross between a Chihuahua and a snail/turtle cross breed.
What does this have to do with this thread? I don't know, ask Donna. She brought it up. I'm just trying to get enough pages to beat that "other" get-together thread.

Just over a week to go... we need to make sure those of you coming from out of state are familier with our travel guide
(besides we still have 8 pages to go)
Foreigner's Travel Guide to Texas
Like it or not, the new Texas White House will be in Crawford, Texas and
soon will be drawing a number of people to the state, including many who are
not used to Texas ways. They might find the following advice useful.
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 complain that certain areas of this state "smell" of oil.
If your livelihood depended on those wells you'd soon learn to love the
aroma. Besides, None of OUR lakes or rivers have caught fire recently. If
you whine about OUR scenic beauty, we'll kick your ass all the way back to
Pittsburgh, PA.
12) 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.
13) 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.
14) 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.
15) 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.
16) Enjoy your visit.

Oh yeah? Rick. 
1. Chicken fried steak was invented and first served at Circus Circus in Las Vegas.
2. Come to Vegas with sissy names like those and you’ll get your ass kicked.
5. Howard Hughes is a Las Vegas Corporation.
6. Civil War monuments are made from granite mined in Nevada.
If you visit the Alamo be sure to watch out for the tour busses that park at the front door. Those Japanese tourists will run right over you on their mad rush to buy hick cowboy souvenirs.
7. Hot my ass………….come to Vegas and see what hot really is.
8. tamales? What the heck is that? Real restaurants, like those in Vegas, serve real food like filet mignon.
9. “Don't talk about how much better things are at home” Why not? That’s why we live here and not in Texas.
12. You got your ass kicked by a sweet little gray-haired grandmother? See number 2.
14. BBQ was invented in Vegas.
15. The Border Patrol should be stationed at Texas airports to stop Southwest Airlines from hauling Texans to Vegas.
Just kiddin' Just trying to get to page 18.

It's a deal. I'll call my man at the airport and tell them that Rick K the Texan is coming and it's OK to let you through.
Maybe the ClusterVegans will be ready to meet again about that time.
