I wonder how much extra they charge to guarantee your whole mind??
Was that the same trucking company that helped you meet DGma?

I don't think so .... it was just another shining example of the exemplary Texas school system.

Must be a guy thing. I hear the word "piece" and all that comes to mind is cake and pie.

In North Texas there's a concrete coring company who's slogan is "Your Hole Is Our Goal."

There's a local timber-supplier here that advertises on the telly with the slogan "We will give you good wood".

'Course, this is Oz, which is not Kansas, and certainly not Texas, so I'll just toddle off...

I just signed up to go on a day-long tour through the great state of Texas. I never get the opportunity to go away on vacation, so I thought a day trip might be nice. Sounds a bit off the beaten path, but it might be fun. Following is the itinerary for my Texas tour:


We start the day off in OATMEAL for breakfast, tour a sock & sweater factory in ARGYLE, maybe have a friendly card game in BLACK JACK before (calling all puppies) taking lunch in BACON. Then for the mid-day snack we're off to DING DONG (a chocolate covered, cream-filled cake thingy shaped like a thick hockey puck for those who are not familiar.) We've got tickets to a campy Sasquatch movie matinee in BIGFOOT before hopping over to BOOTLEG for a homemade aperitif before an early poultry dinner in TURKEY. Then it's an evening of chariot races under the stars at the amphitheater in BEN HUR.


I almost forgot . . . somehow in the middle of all this food and funness we'll be making a detour to CHOCOLATE BAYOU to get samples for y'all at MRville. That's the BEST part of the entire tour.


(And you thought the chocolate capital of the continent was Hershey, Pennsylvania. Au contraire my compadres.)

OK ... so maybe it's not a guy thing. Maybe it's a Texan thing. Doesn't make me feel any better about living here.

Well I'm neither Texan or male, so I'm not sure what that means.
