I just talked to a friend of mine in Texas who has 50 acres and the FED's came to talk to him, yep you may have guessed it, the highway is going to go through a portion of his property. I am not sure exactly where he is situated in Texas, but the leg from Mexico into Texas is going through whether he likes it or not. TPDSOT Mis-post, was supposed to be on the thread shown lower in this thread. By the way chili has no beans. Beans in chili is... chili with beans. Authentic chili has no beans, variation found mostly in northern Mexico. Beans used to make "chili" go farther. By the way, hijacking a thread is bad form. TPDSOT 07, 08 |
I am Hijacking this thread now.... This thread was boring but now we can debate wheteher or not to put beans in the chili... I did a "Beans or No Beans in the Chili" thread last year, went about 18 pages. Here we go..... I like beans in my chili! 
|
Already being done in this thread. Congradulations, you're the first poster I've ever seen with a hijack dupe! |
What we always called "chili beans" was a batch of red beans (actually pintos, but we call 'em red beans) with some ground beef added - note this is some hamburger meat in beans, as opposed to Yankee "chili" of some beans in hamburger meat. I guess North Texas white-trash just has their own way of talking.
|
It's not just vernacular, there are beans called "Chilli Beans". 
|
I know, I've heard tell of such things - just noting what we referred to as "chili beans." |
There is no North American Union in the works,nobody's land will be confiscated for a highway where the tolls go to a foriegn nation,our borders and way of life are secure,the gov't is here to help,and if you believe any differently the tinfoil is in isle 3.that is all Now that that is out of the way,I like beans. Edited to better denote large amounts of sarcasm in first part of my statement.

That's a pretty l337-looking AR that fellow has!

Let see, the road is expected to cost between 145 and 184 billion. It will result in the taking of 580,000 acres (also heard from a Rep of a Gov. canidate the number is actually 1,200,000 acres. The development will be owned by Citra - owned by the Spanish goverment. Oh, and a kicker, the unused land taken will be leased back. Local people loose the land, while the gov leases the land to corporate interest for commercial development. Stayhand's camp (current Texas Comptroller, and leading Gov canidate) is saying it is the single worse special interest project to date in America. |
I prefer beens in my chili. But I don't like chunks of tomato and onions in it either. |
The FEDS? I am calling BS. There is no federal funding for this new highway. Now if you don't want a new highway to relieve the congestion of i-35, STOP BUYING CRAP FROM MEXICO. In fact, just stop buying EVERYTHING. I get tired of NIMBY people who think they can live as fucking islands. When it takes me FOUR FUCKING HOURS to travel the 70 miles between San Antonio and Austin ON FUCKING ROADS PARTIALLY PAID BY FEDERAL FUNDS, I have to get a might bit upset. The other alternatives? Make a driver's license prohibitively expensive, raise fuel taxes by 3000% or make annual registration of a vehicle something like $10,000. TANSTAAFL. |
How did I not notice this earlier... ETA:

You say that like it's a bad thing. Chili has beans. Pinto, Kidney, Black, even !@#$ butterbeans. They've all gone into chili at one time or another. What REAL chili has is beer. My uncle always poured a can of beer in the pot while cooking. Never thought there was any purpose to Pabst Blue Ribbon except as a chili ingredient.

I was born in San Antonio, therfore, I have a vested interest in the definition of Chili. Chili was the center of some of San Antonio's first city regulations, dating back to its Spanish colony era. Chili was sold by street vendors and laws were drafted to assure its quality/safety. First of all, REAL Chili is made from a mixture of venison and pork. Beef can be used but it should NOT be hamburger grind. Chop it coarse. It may have bacon in it but NEVER beans. Beans are cooked seperately and sometimes as a SIDE DISH but if they are mixed into Chili, it is done ON THE PLATE OR IN THE BOWL! Second, REAL CHILI does not contain tomatoes. Not whole, chopped, strained, boiled, pureed, ground or otherwise. NO TOMATOES! But they may be served ON THE SIDE! Permitted spices include garlic, cumin (comino), onion and black pepper. Salt is a must. BUT NO BEANS! One may thicken chili with either masa harina de maize or wheat flour. BUT NEVER THICKEN IT WITH BEANS! So if your idea of chili is ground turkey with tomatoes and beans, sweetened with ANYTHING, please do not cal it Chili lest you make me buy an airline ticket to get your ass out of Texas because that ticket will come with a size 11 bootprint on your butt. Call it anything. Hell, I will let you call it yankee chili but don't even think of calling it Texas Chili. If you have any questions, go to Terlingua in November. But don't tell a soul you are a yankee. People have been hanged for less offenses. |
[/Rick Perry] Well, if you think abou it, all highways in Texas were once someone's land [Rick Perry] Oh, Beans or no beans... it's all good. |
Born at Parkland hospital in Dallas, greaduated from Marcus HS in Flower Mount, spent my entire life in Texas until I went into the Army, I now live in Arkansas, but I am and always will be a Texan so you can stick your "Arkansas yankee" comment up your ass. |
= Chili w/ Beans
= Chili w/ Beans
= Chili w/ Beans|
Chili with beans sometimes. Chili without beans other times. Like on hot dogs. (In Texas they are called Cony Island hot dogs. In Cony Island they are called Texas Hots.) Hot today, chili tamale. Here today, gone to Maui. Chili on the plate, it's chilly outside, Chili Palmer....we got us a regular Chili Fest. |
 This is DEFINATELY the best thread hijack ever! Well played! |
OK, help a brotha out here... I don't get it. |
GIS is 'Google Image Search'. Goto google, put in a search term and look at the images it brings up. Some weird crap on occasion.

Her name is Strayhorn, and she is NOT the leading Governor candidate. ALL of the polls have the incumbent, Rick Perry, leading. click here and scroll down |
So, why not just put it all together instead of mixing it up on the plate? Oh, we already do that... |

www.chili.org/recipes.html No Beans in Chili. www.chili.org/rules.html RULES: 2. NO FILLERS IN CHILI - Beans, macaroni, rice, hominy, or other similar ingredients are not permitted. International rules for chili. REad 'em and weep. TRG |
You just posted a picture of CANNED chili.  That's a hanging offense.
|
Even ALLOWING the concept to be considered is offensive. TRG |
Ok, so you are a Texan. But Dallas is NORTH of I-10 so you are a yankee Texan. Limited rights but still a Texan. |
