Texas

Seriously, what is it about that state?

Are you all proud because of your immigrant situation?

Proud to live in a blistering (heat-wise) state?

Good ol G-Dub's dipshit family reign from there or what?

Not to mean as a flame whatsoever, but the insufferable bragging that comes from that state is often tiresome and rather boring, not to say repetitive.

The Cowboys blow, Americas team my ass.

STFU about Texas already

This is coming from a guy who's embarrased to put his state on his profile.

Damn right there. I have lived in several states, and never thought anything about it.
Until TX became home. Now I am proud of my state. I'll never leave.

Whenever I see someone here from "USA" I think another embarassed person from CA.
I'll have to change that thinking. It is not just CA folks that are ashamed.

ETA - It is all in fun folks. We are all Americans. Fun like my High School is better than yours.
When we all know, deep inside, that TX is the best.

A lot of Montanan's dont like Minnesotans. To be honest, I dont blame you guys........

He told me, if asked, tell people I'm from Montana.

Just confirms my point in that Montana you'll find the best peeps. No need to brag, no need to claim that you're from MT in your AR15.com profile, Montana speaks for herself. Texans have a necessary need to boast that they're from Texas- makes me sick

Now, I grew up in Minnesota and live in Texas. I did walk to school through snow.... and yes, it was both ways! As a kid, I could walk (or bike) to at least three different lakes and go fishing. I did so often!

Texas is my home, and its a great state. That can never replace the memories I have of fishing in the summer, sledding down hills in the winter, making snow forts and having snowball fights. As great as Texas is, those things will not happen here.

This argument is like saying "I like steak better than lobster". Its a stupid argument that gets us nowhere.

What ever happened to the standard ARFCOM response.... "Get both!"

I did!

Fair has nothing to do with it.... Pick your fights carefully. Make sure its worth fighting about.
If its worth fighting about, its worth dieing for.
If its worth dieing for, its worth killing for.
If its worth killing for, then make sure life will be worth living after you do.

This argument does not meet any of these criteria, so no fight

Montana doesnt speak for herself, because you have to speak for her.

We dont brag about why Texas is better than Montana, and every other state, we just reinforce the belief so you "others" dont forget.

Dream on about Montana being superior, because thats all you clutch on to, is dreams.

You Texicans talk a good game, but let's be honest:

When the temperature falls below 55 degrees, your balls shrivel up and you run home to Momma - 'round here, we call that t-shirt weather.

Dear Minnesota,

Thank you for showing your true colors when it comes to hockey. When the North Stars didnt win Lord Stanley's Cup, you abandoned your "beloved" North Stars.

As you know, they have moved to Dallas, and have been extremely successful. Know why? Because win or lose, we love hockey. The Dallas Stars organization, and players, know this, and they return our loyalty. We are not a bunch of band waggon jumpers who are fans when a team is doing good, and shit upon them when they do poorly. Only places like Detroit rival us in fanship.

We all know you cried a river, when the North Stars came to Dallas, and you wanted a team to call your own. A few years ago, the league saw fit to give you another chance with the Minesota Wild. Thus far, you have shat upon them for not winning a cup, and for not doing very well in the playoffs. A real hockey fan would be proud they made it to the playoffs.

Regards,
FAIL-SAFE

P.S. I can remember several members of the Dallas Innaugural Season, can you do the same with your Wild?

Afew years ago on an August day with the temperature around 100, I went to the breakroom and saw a lady and her daugher sitting at a table. I say, "Hello" and proceed to buy a Dr. Pepper.

The lady, making smalltalk, asks, "What do you think about the weather?"

I respond with a big smile, "Isn't it nice!!!"

The lady looked at me like I had ax-murdered a whole family. Her daugher then tells me, "My mom's from Minnesota."

I answer back, "Oh, you should have been her last week when it was 110 outside.
