Hey weren't you telling Shane that the only sport that matters is football?

Texan: What's your name?
Pee-wee: I don't remember.
Texan: Where are you from?
Pee-wee: I don't remember.
Texan: Do you remember anything?
Pee-wee: I remember... the Alamo.

<a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.nortropic.com/lis341/future/yellow.html">The Yellow Rose of Texas

There's a yellow rose in Texas
That I am going to see
No other darky knows her
No one only me
She cried so when I left her
It like to broke my heart
And if I ever more find her
We nevermore will part.

Chorus:
She's the sweetest rose of color
This darky ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds
They sparkle like the dew
You may talk about dearest May
And sing of Rosa Lee
But the yellow rose of Texas
Beats the belles of Tennessee.

Where the Rio Grande is flowing
And the starry skies are bright
She walks along the river
In the quiet summer night

She thinks if I remember
When we parted long ago
I promised to come back again
And not to leave her so.
Oh now I am agoing to find her
For my heart is full of woe
And we will sing the song together
We sung so long ago
We will play the banjo gaily
And will sing the song of yore
And the yellow rose of Texas
Shall be mine forevermore.
-J.K. </a>

They say that Virginia is the mother of Texas. We never knew who the father was, but we kinda suspected Tennessee.

<a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.bartleby.com/66/79/55679.html">Texas is a state of mind. Texas is an obsession. Above all, Texas is a nation in every sense of the word. And there?s an opening convey of generalities. A Texan outside of Texas is a foreigner.
--John Steinback</a>

That work?

If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell.
