    TEXAS REDNECKS



    The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged a highly secret plan they had funded with the U.S. auto makers for the past five-years. The NTSB covertly funded a project whereby the auto makers were installing black boxes in four wheel drive pick-up trucks in an effort to determine, in fatal accidents, the circumstances in the last 15 seconds before the crash.

    They were surprised to find in 49 of the 50 states the last words of drivers in 61.2% of fatal crashes were, "Oh, s@@t!"

    Only the state of Texas was different, where 89.3% of the final words were, "Hey Y'all, watch this..... LOL
    Gear my posts do make sense

    gear79 Texas rules when ye are on a trip to visit him


    Rules For Entering Texas


    These apply to every person as they enter Texas. Learn ’em & ’member
    ’em. East Coast and California-types should pay particular attention!

    1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.
    2. Let’s get this straight; it’s called a "gravel road," I drive a
    pickup truck because I need to. No matter how slow you drive, you’re
    going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get the hell out of the
    way.
    3. Those are cattle & oil wells. That’s what they smell like to you.
    They smell like money to us. Get over it. You don’t like it? I-20
    And I-10 go east and west, I-35 goes north and south. Pick one and
    go.
    4. So you have a $60,000 dollar car. We’re impressed. We have
    quarter-million dollar cotton strippers that we drive 3 weeks a year.
    5. So what if every person in every pickup waves. It’s called being
    friendly. Try to understand the concept.
    6. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of doves are coming in, we
    WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don’t have it
    up to your ear at the time.
    7. Yeah, we eat catfish & crawdads. You really want sushi &caviar?
    It’s available at the corner bait shop.
    8. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It’s a
    religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of
    November.
    9. We open doors for women. That applies to everyone, regardless of
    age.
    10. No, there’s no "vegetarian special" on the menu. Order a steak.
    Or order the Chef’s Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham &turkey.
    11. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats,
    vegetables and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper and green
    chili. Oh, yeah .... We don’t care what you folks in Cincinnati call
    that stuff you eat... It AIN’T REAL CHILI!! Chili was born and bred
    in San Antonio....and real chili never met a tomato!
    12. You bring "coke" into my house, it better be brown, wet, and
    served over ice. You bring "Mary Jane" into my house, she better be
    cute,
    know how to shoot, drive a truck and have pretty long hair.
    13. High School Football is as important here as the Lakers and the
    Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.
    14. Yeah, we have golf courses. Don’t hit the water hazards - it spooks the fish.
    15. Colleges? Try Texas A&M. They come outta there with an
    education, plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at
    passing
    pickups when they come home for the holidays.
    16. We have more folks in the Navy, Army, Marines and Air Force than any other state, so "Don’t Mess with Texas." If you do, you will get your butt whipped by the best.
    17. Always remember what our great governor Sam Houston once said:
    "Texas can make it without the United States, but the United States
    can’t make it without Texas."
    18. By the way, the boys that captured So-Damn Insane (Hussein) were
    from...Yep! You guessed it~~"The Great State of Texas."

    well, it is considered a hurricane alley area.. kinda like the states just north of me, tornado alley ! then to the south and west of me, scorching heat... (mexico included)
    i guess as far north as you are ddp, all you get is the cold and snow... we have had effects from the hurricanes where i am at... 4 days of rain, winds..
    but now we are on a streak, 31 days of no rain, have major burn bans here... next week, they (the local authorities) will ban back yard BBQ's

  15. Reasons?

    Reasons? Guest

    If you had no comment, why post that you had no comment? Technically "no comment" is a comment, by deifnition of a comment. Especially considering the context was not clealry defined, and for all we really know you could have been not commenting on how to not comment. That of course, is beside the intial theoretical observation! Also with two . instead of three we cannot infer whether your "lack" of comment was exasperating annoyingly, a stern statement, or a tired sigh of inner contentment.

    But further, I believe we can derive from the relative consistency of your lack of comment you actually have nothing to post, but cannot go wihtout getting the post count up when "applicable". Where we define "applicable" as a relative situation where you would be without comment against you initial lack of comment.

    Ahh, one post richer. Just giving you a hard time gear :)

    I'm bored waiting for dinner to be done. I guess I didn't think I needed a reason to pedestal the obvious in a very light hearted (Apparently not noted?) fashion. I'm just playing, no real criticism there man.

    Aight, cool; Nice and friendly, just how we like it in here.

    This is my post number 2700, but I am going to unsubscribe/decline from this thread now, because it is a little pointless posting post counts. It is nice to know where everyone is at and all, but I try and help the newbies by advising them away from the safety valve as much as possible. So really, I am following my own advice and trying to show an example. Peace;

    Lethal
