You a Texan?
1. You measure distance in minutes
2. You've ever had to switch from "A/C" to "heat" in the same day.
3. Stores don't have bags; they have sacks.
4. Stores don't have shopping carts; they have buggies.
5. You see a car running in the parking lot at the store with no one in it, no matter what time of the year.
6. You use "fix" as a verb. Example: I am fixing to go to the store.
7. All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, or animal.
8. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.
9. You carry jumper cables in your car ... for your OWN car.
10. You know what "cow tipping" and "snipe-hunting" are.
11. You only own four spices: salt, pepper, ketchup, and Tabasco
12. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.
13. You think sexy lingerie is a tee shirt and boxer shorts.
14. The local paper covers national and international news on one page but requires 6 pages for sports.
15. You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.
16. You know which leaves make good toilet paper.
17. You find 90 degrees F "a little warm"
18. You know all four seasons: Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer, and Christmas.
19. You know whether another Texan is from north, south, west or east Texas as soon as they open their mouth.
20. There is a Dairy Queen in every town with a population of 500 or more.
21. Going to Wal-Mart is a favorite past-time known as "goin wal-martin" or off to "Wally World"
22. You describe the first cool snap (70 degrees) as good chili weather, and you need a jacket

1. who doesn't?
2. yup.
3. if it is made of paper it is a bag. if it is plastic, it can be either. If is is made of cloth, like those eco-commies at the "whole foods" store insist on using, then it is probably a sack.
4. In the 33 years I lived in Texas, I never ever heard anyone anywhere in Texas call anything actually within their sight a "buggie" unless they were in a museum and looking at some sort of horse drawn carriage type thing. Is that a Dallas thing to say? Because everyone knows Dallas is full of mid-westerners and yankees. I wouldn't put it past them to say "buggie". Northerners are so uncouth. "Buggie"... whatever!
5. this used to happen more than it does now, but I'll admit it isn't uncomon.
6. Many times I have been fixin' ta fix things but never got around to it. "fix" is a verb throughout the english speaking world, is it not?
7. Burning Flipside is not a fruit, veggie, grain or animal. I know, I know, the exception proves the rule...
8. No comment (actually, this is more to annoy the neigbors, as you are suposed to aim the lights strait into their bedroom windows and then set them on the maximum sensitivity so that any cat or possum that walks by switches them on).
9. I thought that was the whole reason to have jumper cables.
10. But have you ever actually been snipe hunting?
11. Don't forget the picante sauce!
12. I'm from Houston, so I wouldn't know since there are no bigger cities than that in Texas. Unless you take the whole of the Dallas - Fort Worth metropolitan area perhaps. That might be a smidge bigger. Some people there do have accents - they sound like northerners!
13. Depends on the model.
14. Not a sports fan, but its true. At least our comics fill 2 or 3 pages even on a week day.
15. Utah school kids actually get this day off, so you can't say anything about Texas in that regard. Of course, people in Utah are a bunch of Northerners!
16. Don't use the ones that look like poison ivy, that much I know.
17. 90 degrees farenheit is quite pleasant actually, unless the humidity is over 95% - then it can seem "a little warm".
18. That about sums it up.
19. Doesn't everyone?
20. slight correction needed: population greater than 500 but less than approximately 20,000, which is the point the 3 or 4 McDonalds in town start to run them out of business.
21. No one calls it those things unless they are either drunk or from Dallas. (have a little respect for gods sake! Damned Northerners!)
22. absolutely correct on both accounts.
23. this one is so obvious that it should go without mentioning. I was very confused the first time I went to Boston and someone asked me if I wanted a "pop". "only if I can hit you back," I said. Damned Northerners - for the love of god, speak English! "soda" is cabonated water that you mix hard liquor with. It is similar, but inferior to tonic water. Tonic has the additional advantage of containing quinine, which helps prevent malarial infection - very important near the gulf coast and perhaps the best reason to constantly drink gin & tonics that I have ever heard. The second best reason is the lime juice, which of course helps prevent scurvey. Healthiest drink there ever was, those gin & tonics. I think I''m fixin' ta fix me one soon. It is also important to note that only a northerner would drink pepsi.

vanize I actually have been snipe hunting before...ok so at me but hey I was lil and didn't know. I also don't call or have ever heard a Texan call a shopping cart a buggie.I don't know whether Dallas has bad accents or not...Seeing that I'm not from there, but I do know of some people who are who have a slightly different sounding one.I tend to have the stereotypical TX accent.I get teased and poked fun at by my friends up here in Okie-ville. But that's ok I just help there intelligence out.JK!!! The part where you can sometimes tell where a TXN is from in a part of the state by their accent is somewhat true.Not all the time but sometimes.My home town of Wichita Falls has a population of 100,000.We tend to have the TX accent or at least I know of some people who do.You can REALLY tell by watching other news stations around the state.Even tho they are to speak good english you can still notice a hint of accents according to the geographic location of TXN's.I just think some of these are just funny because I do a few of them myself.

The one time I went to Texas (about a year ago) I witnessed most of those, but the one thing about most, not all, Texans is the arrogance towards other states in the union. Y'see, everything in Texas is 'bigger.' Texas has bigger schools, bigger animals, bigger helpings at resaurants, bigger Wal-Marts, bigger this and bigger that. It was so annoying. They seem to have a preoccupation with size.
My last day I was talking with a Texan in a bar and he learned that I was from New York, so he started braggin' and I just had to say to him "Y'know, if you took Alaska and cut in half, Texas would be the third largest state."
Then I ran

Hey Prometheus, do you think that the Texan "We're Bigger because we're Better" attitude comes from an inferiority complex elsewhere in their lives? That maybe they feel if they say it enough it will get the women to believe it? Just kidding!
I am a New Yorker, and really it isn't so different.
1. You measure distance in minutes...and tell directions by landmarks..."After two minutes turn left at the 5th Oak tree"
2. House or car? Nevermind..yes.
3. Men have sacks. Stores have bags.
4. I thogh you put babies in buggies?
5. You see a car running in the parking lot at the store with no one in it, no matter what time of the year....and it is either being stolen by a ten year old or it has an animal licking condensation from the inside of the window.
6. You mean it's a noun too?
7. You forgot the ones named on plants. Lilac Festival, Cherry Blossom Festival....
8. Now, I understand the blinding of the neighbors and all but truthfully I thought it was so passersby could get a good look at the dude/tte robbing you blind, and the leaving it unlocked part was just so you didn't have to replace the windows as well as your stolen stuff (Unless you are Prometheus! )
9. You carry jumper cables in your car ... for your OWN car. Well of course, but I have never had to use them. AND in NY it is quicker to find someone to jump your car than it is to wait in the freezing cold for the repair truck!
10. You know what "cow tipping" and "snipe-hunting" are.....and I knew how far to go into the field that was good cow-tipping range without being in the range of the farmer's shotgun when he heard the raucous.
11. You poor, deprived people.
12. Of course they do...have you ever heard NYC talk? lol
13. You think sexy lingerie is a tee shirt and boxer shorts. On women, definately, and it is dang comfy. On men, boxer briefs will do just fine.
14. And those 6 pages come in handy for lining litter boxes, making paper hats, acting as a cover for the table when doing crafts......
15. You mean it isn't? My dad is going to cry when I tell him.
16. Maple, it is wide, supple and strong. Avoid poison ivy, poison oak and pine at all costs!
17. "a little warm" ... yeah that about sums it up.
18. Again, you deprived people!
19. Upstate vs. Downstate...read my comment on NYC above!
20. I wish! Do they still have those round ice creams on a stick dipped in chocolate with the little nipple in the front? I loved those!
21. "Wally World" or "Tar-zjay", that one has the hunter appeal!
22. Only after said 90 degree day.
23. I never call it a pop. Otherwise, it gets me the dang drink, right?

Actaully, yer right on the money, that very conversation did come up, and 3 out of 4 Texas ladies mentioned that 'us foreigners' were more, uh, satisfactorily equipped...

When you've paid for two broken windows, and had nothing stolen either time, ya learn to save the perpetrators some trouble and just not lock the doors. Cheaper dat way...

You a Texan?
1. You measure distance in minutes
yup yup, well, in milwaukee, it's by blocks but west in waukesha it's minutes and landmarks
