You mean Steve "STONE COLD" Austin? He is from Victoria, Texas. Yes he is about as close to a Texan as you can get. Except for the Knee Braces, those are fer sissies :p

Love the registration requirement to drink in Plano. They actually track you. I was working down there on my b-day and so after work, night before flight back I got f****d up. They actually flagged me. I was thinking "Damn I thought there were some drinkers down here." And no I wasn't showing the need to be flagged. Up here you get flagged when you spill your drink.

Don't forget to mention that walking through town singing "Saw Varsities horns off" might result in a massive butt whoopin.

Honestly though, Austin is a pretty cool city to party in and has some kick a@# music.

You don't go to Plano to drink, trust me, I grew up there, we didn't drink there.

Yeah I got that vibe but I was pretty much stuck there, so I made the best of it. I guess I couldve went to Dallas but I probably wouldn't of made it back to my hotel in that condition.

Plano sucks! Dallas is not far behind either! That whole drink card registration thing pisses me off. We have rights in this country! Not privileges!

Plano does have some nice houses though. I don't go much maybe 2 times a year for work.
Too f'n hot for me though. "But it's a dry heat" hehe.

You know though one thing has dissappointed me, been going there for about 4 years. I NEVER have seen the good thunderstorm that Texas boasts having. I've seen a couple of thunderstorm there but nothing more than what I see here in Jersey.

That always disappoints me.

Where were you last year?

[quote] Where were you last year?
<hr></blockquote>

For the most part here at home. I probably spent a combined stay of 7 days in Dallas last year (2 trips).
I may have to start booking based on the Weather Channel.

LOL! If you ever make a trip to Austin let me know

Ever since Plano got rid of all of the trailor parks the big storms have stayed away. You will have to go further north to Wichita Falls, or travel I 35 down towards Austin. I have seen 2 different tornados while driving on that rode.
As far as the cards go, Plano is one of the last bastions of the old "Bible Belt", it is an extremely rich and conservative town. Luckily a lot of new rich has been moving in around the area so it has actually improved in acceptance of things in the last several years. You should have seen all the stink raised when they built the Hooters. Said the front door was too close to some special church or youth center. It was only like 10 feet to close, so they moved the door and were able to open. I am just glad I am out of there.

LOL! Plano is also the Cocaine hub of Texas. I really do not like Plano.

People call me crazy, but I want to see a real live tornado. And those that say that's because I never experienced one don't know me.

Experienced the hurricanes in a couple states here east and let me say some were no joke; blizzards in various states although no tv-no electric can suck and you can get a little cabin fever, minor earthquake in Cali.-that was enough., some OK thunderstorms i guess., minor floods.

go to Oklahoma

That's what I've heard, the panhandle. And if I am in Austin perhaps I will look you up to see these good Texas parties :)

Austin is a good town for parties, a lot of good nights that I can't remember spent there. By the way, Plano is Heroin, not Cocaine, thank you very much MTV.

even better! California it is! :p

Hey, I was wondering . . . In Texas do people "mosey on down" anywhere, to say the Malte Shoppe? Would you say King of the Hill is an accurate representation of Texas life?

Hmmmmm, very small town life. To tell you the truth I don't even know what moseying looks like. I think that was voted of the state legislater

What are you talking about? Those knee braces are weapons. They are used to put an extra dose of WHOOPASS on The Rock.

What I know about Austin, Texas?

Lance Armstrong
Lance Armstrong
Lance Armstrong!!!

Lance is an Austin hero, I don't think I have ever missed a chance to shake his hand or say hello when I pass him jogging.

Hmm, Don't know them. What do they do?

What? You know who Lance Armstrong is, but not them? Thats like saying "hey! I met Troy Aikman." and some one else saying "What about Emmit?" and you replying with "who is Emmit? What do they do?

George Hincapie was Armstrong's Teammate from Motorola, and is the Team Captain during the Classics, such as Paris-Roubaix, Ghent-Wevelghem, and the new San Francisco Gran Prix. Armstrong basically acts as a domestique helping Georgie win. Ekimov is just about the most decorated Russian in Olympic history and once considered the worlds fastest man on a bike. There is a race called the pursuit, which does what it sounds. Two riders start at opposite ends of a oval track. They ride about 3 laps, the one with the fastest split times wins..Ekimov would catch them...He most recently got gold in the Time Trials in Sydney beating out Lance...
