 Dude you ain't lying.  Here in Austin there's a bunch of Cali (left coast ) transplants.  I've never seen worse driving in my life.  I thought I'd never actualy say it, but I miss Houston traffic.  Nothing like seeing 1 million plus cars all moving.  Albeit slow 30-50 mph AT LEAST IT MOVES[/i][/u]

Well, (tongue in cheek) I don't have hard evidence that these "bad drivers" are originally from CA, I can only assume, but the ones with the CA plates up here CERTAINLY are the more 'agressive' drivers on my observations.  Mind you, theres nothing wrong with agressive drivers if the universe revolves around you.

Hey! Cut it out! We are supposed to be baggin on Texas here!
I would rather be driving 75 on an interstate next to a CA driver than any other. And I've seen West Texas. I'd say it would be a pretty even swap for the Outback.

Do all Americans call Austalia 'The Outback'?

And i agree with you target, ive seen pics of Texas and it looks like a bit o Aust only with cactus and more cliffs. And men with big hats.

Do all Aussies call Texans Cowboys?


The part of Texas where I live in reminds me of Jamacia's Interior.  That is the only place where I have seen the combination of hills, vegative colors and climate(except they get 12 months of what we only get  for 9) as we have here.  From pictures, parts of Spain look similar, or what I imagine Beruit looked like 1000 years ago.

I have blue water Marlin fishing 5 hours away-pic, trophy Specks, Reds and Tarpon in 3 hours, crystal clear rock bottom streams-pic and lakes-pic ten minutes away, some of the best deer, turkey and javalina hunting-pic in the world in my backyard, and, it has the highest rate of internet connectivity in the country. Did I mention 30,000 college girls? Live music capitol of the world?  I live here because I picked it, of all the places I have been to and could have chosen, not because of an accident of birth.

May I come live with you Gadfly? Sounds like a fishing paradise. Now I really wanna visit Texas!

And no, ive never called a Texan anything but a Texan.

2000 pounder, baby, she is black, and she is out there.


One day when we hit the lotto, this bunch-pic will grace your shores and catch her, too!

Now this is ironic, Texans making fun of how people from other states drive.  

[Gadfly]

Drive fast and move right for faster traffic.  Use those 2 rules, and we would all be OK.

[gavor]

Hrm, bring the crew and i'll teach you some tidal river fishing, complete with real crocs.

[Gadfly]

Can you hook me up with a barramundi?  A big one?  Croc's don't bother me, I slept with the gators in the Atchafalya Basin(5 hours away), plenty.

[gavor]

Oh good. Crocs are nothing to worry about as long as you keep your limbs in the boat. My brother-in-law, uncle or father could quite easily hook you up with a large barra. Just need rod, lures, hat, big stick and lots of patience. All that aisde, I went a few months back and caught nothing. Had a boatload of fun though.

Someday, Someday......

[gavor]

Ya, one day. I'll find the pics from last time and post em.

You've erred on so many levels with this statement.  Bigger itself implies that it can't be a constant without actually being bigger than another constant... thus you can't argue its constant.  Sheesh.

And you in no way state whether bigger is actually better or not.  This is a time tested statement: "Bigger is better"... it has been bandied around for some time now and carries validity simply by over use both in America (when talking about stupid Texans) or outside of America (when talking about stupid Texans).

Now, stick to the facts.

BTW... Australia is automatically disqualified because its inhabited by criminals.

I never claimed anything for bigger, just for size. Size is universally accepted to have its own value regardless of other considerations.
IE two objects, otherwise identical except one is larger. The supperiority of its size attribute makes it supperior to its more mass challenged brethern.
It is more admirable, more desirable, more sought after, more beautifle, more valueable.
If there was a smaller Texas, it would be inferior to the current larger and therefore supperior Texas.
