Something amusing I read on a Longhorn BBS.

i will only touch on one aspect away from sports, since that seems to upset you guys. but, just a quick fact in case paul harvey ever calls you up......texas is the ONLY state which can entirely, completely support itself both financially and resourcefully! the state of texas literally contains every single resource that is necessary for survival. no other state, certainly not oklahoma, can say that.

ah if it only weren't for the state of SAxET, this country would have been in shambles.

ah yes, there is a portion of the texas population that has an inferiority complex... the way they talk, you'd think it was them that owned the series 68-34-5, instead of the other way around. thats the second most lopsided series in college football, btw.

&quot;XYZ tower, this is Piper 1234. A control cable has snapped, I'm having trouble controlling this thing, request emergency straight in to runway 33.&quot;

&quot;Roger, Piper 1234. Understand you're declaring an emergency. United 457, go around; American 962, hold short of runway 33. Piper 1234, I believe I have you in sight, moving erratically two southeast; you're cleared to land 33, straight in. Emergency crews notified; no time to foam the runway; any other assistance we can give you?&quot;

&quot;Negative, XYZ. I think we're gonna make it okay, but it's a wild ride. We're pitchin' and buckin' like a Brahma bull. Piper 1234, over.&quot;

&quot;Okay, 1234. For the record, can you say home base and number of persons on board.&quot;

&quot;Roger, XYZ. We're out of DFW and we have fifty people on board.&quot;

&quot;Uh ... This is XYZ tower. Did you say FIFTY people? In a Cherokee??&quot;

&quot;Affirmative, XYZ. Piper 1234, short final.&quot;

To make a long story short, the plane made a bumpy but safe landing. Once on the ground they switched over to ground control (as did I), where I heard this exchange.

&quot;Piper 1234, this is XYZ ground control. I understand you have fifty people on board. Please taxi to the general aviation area and pull up in the empty area west of Butler Aviation. Security personnel will meet you there. ... and, buddy, if fifty people don't get out, I'm afraid there's going to be trouble!&quot;

&quot;XYZ ground, this is Piper 1234. Roger that. I've already cracked the door, they'll be comin' out fast soon as I stop.&quot;

I was at the general avaition area, and jumped up on a bench to get a better view as the Cherokee pulled up as ordered. The door, already half open, swung the rest of the way, and FIFTY TEN-GALLON HATS CAME TUMBLING OFF THE WING AND SCURRIED TOWARDS THE TERMINAL. The final exchange over the ground control frequency:

[tower]&quot;What the HELL is all that?&quot;

[Piper]&quot;That, sir, is fifty Texans with the crap scared out of 'em.&quot;

Shinerburke: And a most impressive season it was! Even though I'm a hardcore Longhorn (Hook'em baby!), I found myself rooting for the Sooners as the season went on, they showed nothing but class. :)

Before the national championship season, nary did I see a car in Houston with OU stickers. But ever since then, I've seen plenty.

I'm a big Sooner fan, and when we hook up with Texas, you can be sure I'm a jaded fan. But after that, I root for Texas (and every other Big 12 team) equally. I love the Big 12... I just wish our basketball conference could come back into power, like the Kansas heydays... yeah baby, I love seeing our conference dominate the others.

Go OU!!!!!

ok, last one.

A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a Texas Longhorn.
She asks her students to raise their hands if they were Longhorns too. No one really knowing what a Texas Longhorn was but wanting to be like their teacher, their hands explode into the air like fleshy fireworks.
There is, however, one exception. A girl named Kristen has not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different.
&quot;Because I'm not a Longhorn.&quot;
Then, asks the teacher, what are you?
&quot;Why, I'm a proud Texas Aggie,&quot; boasts the little girl.
The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red.
She asks Kristen why she is a rebel.
&quot;Well, my mom and dad are Aggies, so I'm an Aggie too.&quot;
The teacher is now angry. &quot;That's no reason,&quot; she says loudly. &quot;What if your mom was a moron, and your dad was a moron.What would you be then?&quot;

A pause, and a smile.

&quot;Then,&quot; says Kristen, &quot;I'd be a Longhorn.&quot;
