These laws raise some interesting legal questions though:

1. If you take 3 beers while standing and then sit down, can you then stand up and take 3 more ? Or take 2 and sit down , stand up and take 3 ? Or do you have to go out, come back and the counter is reset ?

2. If you have 6 dildos and lose one, do you have legal right to buy one more  ?

3. What will exactly happen if I somebody sells me Limburger cheese in Houston on Sunday ? Other cheeses are legal ?

4. How can you take a pee in Alamo ?

5. Do the horses tail lights in Texarkana  have to be from Cadillac or will Toyota tail lights be OK ? And where do  you put the brake pedal ?



It's ok, they don't raid for dildo's so your collection is safe.

You may want to hide your favorite one just in case though. :D

Hehe, Yea, you could safely say I had a little kick outa that.
Anyone with just a little trouble can can show a wannabe Ninja text warrior that they can have the same BS that they think they are so good at and have it shoveled back to them 3 or 4 fold.
Like the old saying here in Texas is "Sometimes the BS gets so deep you have to put on your boots". :)
Yesterday I just wasn`t in the mood to put on my boots, but I had a brand new grain scoop very handy. :)
Just throw in one part fact, then add 4 truck loads of BS. Text warrior style.
Our little friend from the land of the drab has a long history baiting lines that he cannot run.
Super troll or Master Ninja text warior he is not. :)
Pompus Yuppies has always ben my bag. This one is too easy. When backed into a corner to the point it is obvious that he is lost he immediately puffs up like a little spoiled brat and sticks out his tongue. Heck, I`m all up for a little friendly BS session especialy when it is obvious that the one on the other end does not have a clue about the subject at hand. Those that are so wrapped up in theimselves usualy are that way IMHO. You could take them on a pie factory tour and they would never see the crust. :)
When I think of my little friend from across the pond a few old Texas sayings come to mind..
One of them is "Step down off your high horse".
In this case the one which fits perfectly is "Shoot low sherrif. He`s ridin a shetland."
 :rofl
Yep, Texans, as a rule, have a lot of pride in their home state. We should, it is an awesome state. I can`t remember. Have I mentioned that it is a Fricken Huge state?  :)  I love Texas, the topic of this thread, surely fiits in my case.
If someone, such as my friend Beet, from across the pond was really interested in seeing and experiencing this great state, then I`m sure that they are a few of us here that would be willing to help him out and show him around, point him in the right direction, etc. For the most part, Texans are like that.....very hospitable. The only thing is, the high horse would need to be left in the stall. One would quickly find out that if you start that crap here, you will hit the ground hard. The term is "Bucked off." Greenhorns feed the stock here, not ride.
 In Texas....."If you can`t ride, don`t saddle up."  :D

ROFL Jackal! Why all these walls of text? Why so defensive? I haven't said anything bad about Texas, so please do try to keep your pants on.

What makes me laugh is not the suggestion that TX is the cultural capital of the world (well ok, it makes me laugh a little bit ;) ), but your idiotic sense of proportion, and your self proclaimed status as a critic on countries around the world, none of which you have ever visited! Now that is freaking hilarious. :rofl

I see you've now extended your use of the drab/dreary tag to include France and Spain - but you've never been there! :lol

As for your sense of proportion, I think it's slightly unhealthy to think of a geographical entity whose land area is a mere 0.136% of the world as the world itself. As for your map of texas that weighs 35lb, well that I can understand. I realise it has to be in nice big letters for you to be able to read it. :lol My Times atlas of the world (which includes the 99.864% of this planet that isn't Texas) weighs a mere 3lb. By extrapolation, a jackall style world atlas would weigh 11 tons! :rolleyes::lol

Ah yes, I see you've added light aircraft to your list of topics you talk about but know nothing about. On full tanks, my TB10 had an endurance of 5 hours, and a cruising speed of ~115 knots.

Looking forward to your next walls, and PMSL thinking of how much time it takes out of your day!

Two questions about England.  Does England have cold water fountains in every building and salad available anywhere?  I would not live in a place that didn't have those.  Might be a nice place to visit, but couldn't live there without that.

Well my house doesn't have a cold water fountain, but I nearly always have some salad in the fridge!

Still no reply from jackall. Bet it's going to be a doozie of a wall when it's finished! :eek:
