F*ck all y'all... I'm from Texas!

[TXlib]

This is the slogan on a t-shirt I saw in a store in Austin a few months ago.

It certainly seems to be Shrub's attitude in international affairs.

[mr_hat]

1. P!ss on you. I work for Mel Brooks!

[TXlib]

5. I don't get it.

[GOPisEvil]

2. God, I hate this state sometimes.

That shirt pisses me the hell off. x(

[terrya]

3. Can I ask you something? What happens if one were to "Mess with Texas"?

Bushie baby has uttered the "Don't Mess with Texas" thing a few times.

I've always wondered what would happen if someone DID "mess with Texas"

7. It means you'd be throwing litter on the highways.

8. Well, you can get a hefty fine...

Don't Mess With Texas being the slogan of our state's anti-littering campaign.

They catch you throwing trash on the side of the highway they can put you under the jail.

[wysimdnwyg]

11. Littering is a life-sentence offense...

but massive hog farms and other highly pollutive industries are welcomed. Great state you live in. :eyes:

[TXlib]

10. There's a little room in Huntsville reserved for those who mess with Texas

Texas-messers walk in, and they don't walk out.

Barbarians.

[twistedliberal]

4. Nice.

When I read the subject, I heard it in Shrub's voice.

6. A popular one in Snowmass, Colorado is

Tuck Fexas

9. If I owned Hell and Texas,

I'd rent out Texas and live in Hell! :evilgrin:

[Fleshdancer]

12. How about this t-shirt slogan:

F*ck me...my district stretches from Austin to Houston and my vote doesn't count!

or for my friends in South Austin:

F*ck me...my district stretches from Austin to the border of Mexico and my vote doesn't count!

or

F*ck me...I have to deal with Tom Delay

[GOPisEvil]

14. How about: Lloyd Doggett USED to be my Congressman.

Now I'm going to get some Tom DeLay wanna-be West Houston suburban-ite. Yeah, I've got LOTS in common with them.

x(

Oh, and the Democrats are running exactly NO ONE in opposition to the EIGHT Republicans. :grr::mad:

[Fleshdancer]

16. why do I live here?

Sure, I love Austin, but is it worth living here if I have absolutely no representation?

[GOPisEvil]

17. I am asking myself the same question. Believe me.

Its either: move to district 25, or out of state. :-(

[Fleshdancer]

18. I hear ya. Here's a question....

are you going to the DU SuperBowl party? This will be my first DU gathering so I'm excited. Hope to see you there.

[VelmaD]

19. I can answer that one...

he'll be there and so will I. Can't wait to meet you. The Austin folks are a lot of fun. We do great meetups. :-)

Are you going to the Austin BBV thing tonight?

[Fleshdancer]

22. Damn it! I'm out of the loop. :(

What Austin BBV thing tonight? I didn't know there was a thing. :(

And Austin DUers do meetups?? When the hell is that? I would love to be a part of it.

And about the party this Sunday...when DUers get together, do we just call each other by our DU name or do we have to work at memorizing both the DU name and the actual name of each other? (I'm BAD at names) It's easy for me since I'm Gloria either way, and it's probably the same with you Velma, but what do I call GOPisEvil?

I would post these questions on the Austin SuperBowl party thread, but there's already over 100 posts so I was afraid it wouldn't get noticed.

[Kamika]

23. Well you could say their screen name

But it's kinda silly.. try the real names.. they are real people :)

[TXlib]

25. I know VelmaD's and GOP's real names

But I still think of them as Velma and GOPisEvil...

[Fleshdancer]

28. True

I'm just afraid I won't be able to remember what real name goes with which DU name. I'm seriously really bad at things like that. Now if everyone wore name tags....

lol

[VelmaD]

29. Don't worry about it too much...

most of us will answer to our screen name or our real name or even just "hey you". :-)

[Kamika]

33. name tags aren't a bad idea

I went to a real meeting once meeting ppl whom I played an online computer game with and we all had tags with our real names.


Othervise "hey you" always works :P

[GOPisEvil]

26. We use our real names.

LOL...I'm David, btw.

Oh, the BBV thing is tonight. SoniaS has a thread going in Activism for the details.

Oh, the meetups? Spur of the moment things. Someone just gets an idea and we run with it.

[VelmaD]

27. Actually I'm not really a Velma

My real name is Barbara. It's a long story adn if you really want to hear it I'll tell it to you at the party Sunday.

Here's the link to info on the Austin BBV thing tonight:

[Fleshdancer]

30. Damn it Velma...er, Barbara!

This is bad enough sober, but if I have a few beers Sunday, all hope is lost for me remembering anyone's name. At that point, I just call everyone "sweetie".

[VelmaD]

31. Like I said...

don't sweat it. I'm bad with names myself. But it really does get easy to sort people out after a while. The Austin DUers I've met so far are a pretty eclectic and memorable bunch of people.

[GOPisEvil]

32. I almost never call anyone by name.

I just walk over to them and start blabbing. :-)

[GOPisEvil]

20. Oh, yes! I am THERE!

:thumbsup: Looking forward to seeing the "old" faces as well as meeting some new ones!

[kcwayne]

13. What's the difference between a coon-ass and a jack-ass?

The Sabine River

(for those of you that do not get this, the Sabine River separates
Louisiana and Texas. If you still don't get it .... Fuck all y'all, he's from Texas)

[Rowdyboy]

34. LMAO!!! Thank you

As a former coonass and current Mississippi redneck I can promise you, I'll remember (and repeat-endlessly) that joke!

[Intelsucks]

15. Non-Texans can add to the end: "And I have an ultra-low I.Q."

n/t

[Kamika]

21. Well there are people here that take pride in their ignorance

If they want to be the laughing stock of America (and yes Most texans think they are idiots too) then they are welcome.


There was a guy here that was proud that he only knew english.. lol


Edit:I just remembered I do own a tshirt that says "don't mess with Texas" :D

[CaptainClark23]

24. A NYC response

Fuck Me? Fuck ME? No, No...Fuck YOU!

[BlueJazz]

35. And.....

You lookin' at me?....You lookin'at me?
Are- you-lookin'-at ME?
