Andy
I think he should change it now.
He never mentioned the Alamo.
He Never mentioned Buddy Holly
He never mentioned John Wayne
He never mentioned how BBQ Pig don't count as BBQ unless its shoved in a steer.
He never mentioned wood Nymphs
For God's sake never mentioned Sue
He never mentioned GUNS!
He never mentioned the best quality hat he ever got other then maybe Gov. issue came from ME
He never mentioned how knowing someone from Michigan has changed his views, probably changed his life for the better and convinced him that at least some Yankees were alright and probably could fit right in even in the LSS.
Amen Jeff

Yee hi-i--i ! Go gett'em cowboy.That Texas thing is PRIDE! and a smattering of what might be found in the proverbial matchbox. :D A friend of mine moved form Fla. to Texas and you'd think he had been born there. That stuff is terribly contagious. :D
Well, thankee, Tom, I accept those accolades with a humble Texas heart. As in deep in the heart of, ah, never mind..................... ;D

Yeah, we taught them how. Most of those fellows came from Georgia, Alabama, South and North Carolina and Tennessee way back when. You can't pass through here without learning about good vittles. :D
Still the King, Aha ;D

I cherish my Bob Wills album ah-h hah-h-h
I was looking for a song that he recorded during WWII.
There will be a sad day coming,for the foes of all mankind.
They must answer to the people,and it's troubling their mind.
Everybody who must fear them,will rejoice on that great day.
When the power of dictators,shall be taken all away.
Chorus
There'll be smoke on the water,on the land and the sea,
when our army and navy,over take the enemy....
I had that song on a old cassette,that is long gone.I liked his music too.I still add ahh hah,aa, to other artists songs that need it.
:D :DI do the same thing :D :D
How many of us out here do you reckon are afflicted with this strange Texas Tourette's Syndrome. :D
Hopefully millions Tom 8)
Some songs have that natural pause in them.
Now I know the name of my condition, :D TTS
Tom, we took the worst from the rest and came up with the best, what can I tell ya. As far as cooking goes, we DID NOT learn to bar-b-que from folks that call hog bar-b-que. Or cook without jalopenos, or cumin, or file, or rice, or rattlesnake, well, maybe not that last one. ;)
Ahhhhh Hahhhhhhhh. Where else but Texas could ya get the Texas Dough Boys.
Pillsbury?
Beef's good but hogs're best when you're bar-b-cueing. That's a lot different around here than just cookin' over an open fire. You can't beat beef over flame when you want a tasty roast or steak but pork stands up to the mustard and tomato based sauces without getting all dried out and tough. A little cayenne wakes up the taste buds but it's the hickory, oak, cherry or red bay that really makes you roll your eyes, fall down prostrate on your back in the hot sand and kick your feet. mmm--mm mm Love that hog meat. ;D(https://forestryforum.com/smile/laugh4.gif)
Beef is for hamburgers or steaks. Real BBQ is pork or mutton cooked over a hickory pit.
MUTTON?! GAG! ::)
Beef, it's whats for dinner. And you don't need all that tomatoe and mustard casing to make it taste good.
Your right Don, you don't need'em but mmmmmmmmmboy that mustard sauce is so-o--o--o good. ;D
Actually boys.....Florida is the 2nd largest beef producing state in the U.S. but a Florida Cracker knows that there's more to eatin' than eatin' a cow. Florida Crackers want variety. Heck, they BBQ both beef and pork but pork just seems not to overpower the BBQ flavor like beef. ;) Now y'all ain't et nothin' til you've sunk yore teeth into some BBQ gator tail. They ain't got that in Texas...... ;D
What's that they used to say in the Tuna Commercial? SORRY CHARLIE!
What's that they used to say in the Tuna Commercial? SORRY CHARLIE! Bar b que gator is an old thing here, as is most anything else that was alive at one time. One of the first things you do in Texas before trying a "new" Mexican restauant is to check and see if there are any dogs in the neighbor hood. No dogs, no eat. :P
With our diverse culture, there aint much a Texan of some heritage or the other hasn't had in the cood pot.
