Things I learned while living in Texas
Armadillos sleep in the middle of the road with all four feet in the air. .... as do raccoons, skunks and just about any other varmit that is lower than a Ford or Chevy pickup bumper .... These are also referred to as 'Texas speed bumps"
There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 live in Texas. .... But only one is celebrated with a BBQ ... Texas Rattlesnake Round up ... Many of the snakes are used as 'special ingredient" in chili .... baby snakes make great catfish bait ... Many of the other snakes make lovely Cowboy Hat bands....
There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 live in Texas, plus a few no one has ever seen before. .... New Yorkers carry Mace on a keychain, Texans carry raid on a keychain .... ....
If it grows, it will stick you. If it crawls, it will bite you! .... and if it flies, It will poop on your newly washed truck ....
Nothing will kill a mesquite tree. .... not even a cat peeing on it ....
A tractor is NOT an all terrain vehicle. They do get stuck.
Onced and twiced are words. .... much like the now famous word
'git-'er'dun ....
"Fix-in-to" is one word.
"Coldbeer" is one word.
"Jeet?" is actually a phrase meaning, "Did you eat?" .... BBQ is a verb, a Noun, and an Adjective ....
Green grass DOES burn.
You measure distance in minutes or hours.
When a buzzard sits on the fence and stares at you, it's time to see a doctor.
You find 100 degrees a "tad" warm.
You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good chili-eatin' weather. .... There are 4 seasons in Texas ... almost summer ... summer ... still summer and Christmas ....
Going to Wal-mart is a favorite past-time known as "goin Wal-Martin" or "off to Wally-world."
Smiles and sunshine
