The Proud Texan Thread
After all the hoorah about Texans and maybe we should have our own thread, I made the mistake of lettin' Red look over my shoulder. He insisted I start a thread of, by and for Texans. Since I had too much beer anyway, here it is.
You can be a Texan, by birth, by immigration or by just accepting the culture, (or lack there of.) So break out a Lone Star, Pearl, Shiner, or a Railean Rum, and post away... I'm headin' to watch The Alamo.... |

Who knows the difference between a Yankee and a Damn Yankee?

Is There a Way Out?
RickMaveety:
I can't claim Texas heritage but I do have a couple of cousins that have lived most of their lives in Texas. In response your question, ' What if you don't want to be a Texan, but circumstances force you to be a Texan?? Is there a way out?? I think the answer probably runs along the lines of you either have to shot or sold to another state. |

Born and raised in Fort Worth, and after living a few years in Iowa (the land of corn and soybean fields and bars, bars, and more bars) I couldn't wait to get back here.

I'm a 4th generation Texan by birth. That was followed by an early emigration and a much later reimmigration. I've lived here fairly comfortably for the past 22 years. But I don't feel like what I think some imagine a "true Texan" is supposed to feel. It's just a place to live like any other - a mix of the good and the bad and nothing extraordinary as far as I can sense. If my job went elsewhere, I'm sure I'd go with it.
I should add that, as a kid, I moved every year or two and so never grew an attachment for any particular place. I rather envy those who have - whether for Texas or somewhere else. You are? Does it move or something? Last edited by vivaldirules; 04-02-2009 at 07:05 AM. |

I suppose (and hope) that that dog NatCh will be posting here. Did you know that some Texans are dogs?
