Why do they not pronounce the "H" in Humble??

 

[minendo]

I've heard that only steers and queers come from Texas and you don't look like no steer. Care to elaborate?

It's a Southern thing (and wrong)

Erm... can't think of anything a Texan would know that I would want to find out. Despite what Texans seems to be believe nobody else actually gives a shit about Texas.

It doesn't bother me because I don't watch too much NFL. I like watching Cart McCry getting sacked by the Aggies though.

I don't own any animals, but my roommate has a cat.

I'm not sure. I'm actually from Kingwood too. I don't remember why I put Humble.

In Texas Viagra is a suppository.

The best thing I have ever heard was from some German exchange students who commented that they were surprised at how modern/urban a particular city in Texas was, since many people not from the United States (and some from) seem to think Texas is a backwater "Old West" horse-riding state.

Humble, the feeling, is different from Humble, the city. The correct pronunciation for Humble is not that same as the one for humble.

Unfortunately we have a lot of fat people here.

Does Texas actually have 4 seasons in 1 day?
Why isn't it spelled Texis?
Why are they obsessed with swamp coolers? I haven't seen a swamp there yet
Why not raise pandas on the ranch?
Texan BBQ's have a lot of beef, while southern states have a lot of pork. I have no question about this yet.

 

[venkman]

Do you resent the fact that you are actually a part of the United States of Mexico?

Lots of younger kids from other states think we are all cowboys who ride horses to school. I remember new kids from out of state coming to school for the first time and wondering where all the horses were.

In the early days of Texas BBQ, beef was plentiful and cheaper than pork.

It stuck, and it's mighty good
