OK, so what's the deal Texas?

[Jackal1]

We have issued a special green card to Mac that allows him to cross the border on special occasions such as the annual hog calling and goat roping.

Something special just for Mr. AWMac and all the other Okies in Aces High!

Let'er rip, Merle!!

Merle Haggard - Okie From Muskogee 1969
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVeBRYh2BVY

We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee;
We don't take no trips on LSD
We don't burn no draft cards down on Main Street;
We like livin' right, and bein' free.

I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,
A place where even squares can have a ball
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all

We don't make a party out of lovin';
We like holdin' hands and pitchin' woo;
We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy,
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do.

And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,
A place where even squares can have a ball.
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all.

Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear;
Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen.
Football's still the roughest thing on campus,
And the kids here still respect the college dean.

And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
A place where even squares can have a ball
We still wave Old Glory, down at the courthouse,
In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA.

Bigger is better... just ask any woman...

they tried to break it into 5 states once, then somebody up in Washington  figured out  that Texas is the only state with a succession clause  written into its constitution! and im just counting the days! lol

Daaaay ummm.... make one remark about Texas and I'm the Whippin Post Hero.

Here in Oklahoma we tend to keep it simple. Ya get on a road yer either going North, South, East or West.

Try that in Dallas.  Hell I asked one time in Texas for directions towards Tulsa and outta 5 people, at a truck stop no doubt, pointed in 4 different directions....one asked me where Tulsa was.

Thank Gawd the Red River is deep and wide.  

BTW us Okies only wing you Northern running Texans.  No bad blood, just slowing down the riff raff.  Ifluff'n it floats, it stays in the river.

Sooner Boomers!!!

That wasn`t a truck stop Mac. Just a large crack house.
Your story reminded me of something. Once I unloaded some jet turbines at Pease AFB in NH . After unloading I stopped across from a store and asked for directions. One of the guys started rambling and said "Just go down XXX blocks and take a right, then...........". He was pointing left with his left hand.
I left him standing there babbling , went back to the truck and broke out the map.

Where I grew up the rule was north of the Red and east of the Sabine was Yankeeland. If ya wern't born here, ya ain't FROM here.

OMG!  My wife teases me with this all the time.  I was born and raised an OKie, with some time in the Texas panhandle.

You know why Texas does not fall into the Gulf?

Because Oklahoma sucks.

Some of us might go a bit further and add to that if you cain't trace yer ancestry back the Republic of Texas (I can).

I may have my facts wrong but I once read that Texas has one qualification that none of the other states have.

If it were to leave the union it would survive from an economic point of view.  Texas could be self-sufficient.  It has the energy and grocery resources that would allow it to survive without any foreign trade.

It might not be a fun place to live until the manufacturing industry comes on-line.

Well.............after all you have to realize .....Texas is a fricken Huuuuuuuuuuuuugggge state.
