In fact, his license plate read "Gig Em". He too had lived in Washington state for many years. I tried to get the Aggie and the Longhorn to fight, but it never worked out. 
I've also have talked to other Texans who can't help but go on and on about what a terrific place it is. I don't get it - from what I've seen, it's no better (and some parts are truly awful, like Beaumont) than any other state. Is there some kind of required brain-washing of children growing up that makes Texans feel that way?
Sorry for peeing on your parade, you can go back to your Texas Mind-Hive now.  |
I don't recall either of us having said Texas is great, just that we live here
I'm not looking for people to talk about how great Texas is, but instead how great German cars are.
I mean, sure, it's a pretty good state for country driving in. Lots of empty roads with high speed limits. But no need to bring a fight to where there wasn't one.
