WTF is with these Texans? They all just a bunch of wussys? "Don't mess with Texas, because we will turn tail and run."
- Fun fact "Don't mess with Texas" is a state anti litter campaign
  
  Fun fact, when our trash Govt leaves, it is effectively litter removal. Its the one positive they do for the state, going away.
- Another?

It’s a fact finding trip. He’s doing research to see if he hates asians as much as he hates latinos

  Most of us would gladly pitch in a few bucks for him to take a trip forever.
