Just because his name is "Mr. Man" does not mean that he's a big stud (in fact, it probably means the opposite). There's no need to be so nice to him.

So, basically, Texas rules.

Robust Puppy is a Texan? She is awfully sneaky to have hidden that for so long.

Thank you for that unusual display of humanity here. Are you bucking for some free Texas sized drinks at some point? Working well so far... (then again, you may have been using my lack of skills of the language to be sarcastic)

Just for the record, I didn't start it. However, I felt the impressive audio knowledge that was being displayed was going to waste without a spirited and lively discussion. Oh, and I was trying to feel less guilty about my knowledge of when the Kate Spade bags became really popular, and when the replacement faux animal skin bag took over for the plain black bag.

It's like I live in Minnesota or something.

Yes, primarily the west-nile carrying mosquitos and the pollen and mold counts. My secretary's ass has ballooned lately too, but I don't think that's a Texan influence, per se, just too many Big Macs.

No drinks for you!

Alas, the name was provided to me by one of my "Oak Lawn" friends (NTTAWWT), so you are probably not too far off on that one. I guess I should also rescind my "everything is bigger in Texas" post?

On the other hand, I did mention speaker cables earlier so maybe the whole magnet thing is working out after all...

I've heard he gets some action. Mainly when Closer by NIN is playing.

Much nicer than the typical "only guys that are 50+ that have no hair and wear buttless leather chaps hit on you (NTTAWWT?)."

I thought people called them "water bugs" here? BTW, is Texas the only place with power now? Or have our fearsome numbers finally taken over the FB too?

Nicely played.

Thanks - I was trying. Last week I went to eat and the woman next to me had a whole, live tree roach in her SALAD. Eww. (Note to Houstonians - eat at the Souper Salad at Wesleyan & Bissonnet at your own risk - you have been warned).

Only when you have guests over and don't want to admit you have a cockroach in your house.

Wait, are you just messing with me...funning me.....making me look the fool one more time because I take people's posts seriously so I think that maybe you really like big blocks, real steel and no seatbelts but you are gonna come back and laugh at me....maybe I don't heart you
Just as long as it's one with the little flag that pops up and reads "The Judge" when the Ram Air kicks in.

The FB: All Texas, All the Time

I can admit this is getting a little out of hand.

I guess ltl claims to be the only non-Texan here, and she's an ex-Texan.
