Awesome thread. I had a friend that went to New York and some girls came up to his room with the guys he had went to NY with. They were very loud and drunk he told me. He was trying to sleep at the time so he told them to leave. The girls ignored him. Then he says, listen you F***ing ***** get the hell out of my room before I throw you out. They were shocked! "You can't talk to us like that!" To which he responds. "Bitch I'm from Texas I'll say whatever the hell I want, especially to a couple of ****** like yourselves, GET OUT!!"

I thought that was pretty awesome and a good sense of Texas pride.

 

i like the one with the corn feed country boys. LOL! true true!

 

nice ... for the record though ... texas cannot break away from the union and become its own country. We gave up that right when we joined the US.



But were still better than everyone else

 

the reason we say that is because if we were allowed to become independant, we would be the only state that could be self sufficient.

 

couldn't mean less...at all

 

GTFO!

 

:californiaemissions: FTL

 

Hell yeah!

 

I love this. Texas!

 

?Que?

 

I don't know how to link this page, but it's the bud lite radio commerial for the way to proud of texas guy.

http://www.hipcast.com/playweb?audio...=1&player=ap27

 

it works, just the audio if thats what u mean....I love it!!! great commercial

 

That's it just audio from a radio commercial.

 

Could some one that has had both In-n-Out and Whataburger tell me why Whataburger is better??

My take on the two Lists after living in both states......

California - I can wear sandals all year long
not true it does get cold
Texas - I too can wear sandals all year long... plus I can put on boots to stomp your toes and I won't even stick out. -
How Friendly is this. Texans showing their true colors?

California - I go to the Beach - not "down to the shore"
Not really sure what this means.
Texas - You may be able to go to the "beach" instead of the "shore"... but can you go to the drive thru "Beer Barn?" What now surfer boy?
Yes they have drive thru Liquor stores in California

California -Our chicks are WAYYYY hotter than yours. Well...Miami can hang.
Not true both states have some great looking girls
Texas - You're chicks aren't way hotter than ours... they are almost equal... and thats only due to silicone, saline, botox, lasers and hair dye... We have the real ones and they can beat yours up.
Not true there is a lot of silicone, saline, botox lasers and hair dye in Houston. Just turn on the radio or tv for the commercials. More then I ever saw in California. In my office alone almost every person has had something done. And again what is with the violence. This is the attitude I see more in Texas not the helpful one they always talk about.


California - I say "like" and "for sure" and "right on" and "dude" and "totally" and "peace out" and "chill" and "tight" and "bro" and I say them often
Yep I catch my self saying Dude way too much but not the rest but its just the way a Californian talks
Texas - We're taught to say "Yes Sir" and "Yes Ma'am" and respect our elders because of it. We also say "Howdy" and "fixin" and "Yall" are pretty much recognized right away anywhere in the world We're famous
Dude I think Dude Totally and the rest are just as world famous. Its just local Dialect. Just like New York as it and A Canada has it A.

California - I know what real cheese & avocados taste like
As for the cheese haven't noticed the difference but the avocados by far were better but then they grew them all around us so they were fresh.
Texas - You may know what real cheese and avocados taste like... but I know what 100% Grade A Angus Beef tastes like. Who wants avocados and cheese when you can have steak and potatoes?
MMM So far I have not seen any cattle ranches like in California so Im not sure where the meat comes from around here but Central California does now what 100% Grade A angus Beef tastes like but then we know because we don’t cook it with a tone of BBQ sauce. Some salt pepper garlic and cooked over an open flame made by wood.

California - Everyone smokes weed and its no big ******* deal
Umm no not everyone smokes weed and it is a big deal
Texas - Haha... who do you think grows the weed and sells it to you?
Sorry but I think California grows enough on its own.

California - We'll roll up 40 deep when something goes down.
True if your a bunch of gangsters I guess and its only because 1 gets in trouble and cant get himself out
Texas - Why roll 40 deep when something goes down if 5 corn fed country boys can get the job done...
I would rather be with the 5 corn fed country boys because chances are they are actually there for a good reason to help

California -I live next door to Mexicans, but we call them American's!
Not true at all. The Mexicans live on the other side of town and they are Mexicans
Texas - I live next door to Americans, but we call them Mexicans
Every Texan I have talked to is just as fed up with Mexicans as California.

California -All the **** you watch is made here, cause we **** better and thats how it is
Ya don’t think this one is true
Texas - About your ****.... 3 words... "Debbie Does Dallas"... You can brag about it now, but we started it (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... you guys know you love us
Umm that’s a definit win for Texas....not sure I would be proud of it but its a BIG WIN

California - I don't get snowdays off because theres only snow in Mammoth, Tahoe, Shasta, and Big Bear
Why would you brag about not getting snow days off?
Texas - Why would you brag about not getting snow days off?
Does it snow some place in Texas enough to get snow days? I know we get Hurricane Days

California - I know 65 mph really means 100
And you get tickets or jail
Texas - I'm smart enough to know 65mph means 65, but our speed limit is 70.
I haven't seen a 70 out here yet. A lot of California Interstates went to 70 and 75 and NO YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT 65 MEANS!

California - When someone cuts me off, they get the horn and the finger and high speed chase cuz we dont **** around on the road
Ya on the finger and horn but that’s it
Texas - When someone cuts me off, they get run the **** over by my big *** truck, then I give them the finger and tell them to go back to California.
Ya I actually wish this one was true because people are just rude on the roads in Houston. But in most cases its a horn and finger.

California - The drinking age is 21 but everyone starts at 14 (legally 18 if you live close enough to the border)
Is this something to be proud of?
Texas - The drinking age is 21, but if you aren't chasin the beer by 1 yr old... you're behind.
Is this something to be proud of?

California - My governor can kick your governors ***
True
Texas - Yeah, Well my governor became the President of the United States... yours isn't even eligible.
Umm we don’t have very good memory do we....President Reagan.

California - I can go out at midnight
So? I don’t get this one
Texas - You can go out at midnight? Thats nice, I haven't even come home by then.
So? Still don’t get it.

California -You judge people based on what area code they live in, and when asked where you're from, you give your area code
Im pretty sure this one is backwards. Umm can you say 90210?
Texas - Ok... you said,"You judge people based on what area code they live in, and when asked where you're from, you give your area code" and as hard as I try I have no idea what you're talking about... I think you're watching too much tv
See above answer

California - I might get looked at funny by locals when I'm on vacation in their state, but when they find out I'm from California I turn into a Greek GOD
I think this goes back to watching too much TV not true
Texas - Yeah, you'll definitely get looked funny when you come to visit but we have another name for you pretty boys, and its not greek, its french.
Umm ya its not true but again Texas is showing its colors.

California - We don't stop at stop signs... we do a "california roll" No cop no stop baby!
Um I think this goes on any place and not really something to be proud of
Texas - Of course you don't stop at stop signs... none of you can drive.
After my brother was here for 10 years and I visited he went right through a stop sign I said what he said its broken. And the 2 years I have been here Texas has a bigger problem with driving the California. You are right Texans don’t do California rolls because that would hint that you actually slowed down. They need to make a new term a called Texas Drive Through

California- I can get fresh and REAL Mexican food 24 hours a day
Ya you can get it in Texas also and California has its Share of Tex Mex
Texas - You can pick up Real mexican food 24 hours a day huh... well I can swing by home depot and pick up 24 Real mexicans anytime of day. Can you say catering?
Could do it in California Also but I think I will stick with restaurants thanks

 

California - All the TV shows you "other" states watch get filmed here
Im not sure if this one is true any more. So many shows I watch are filmed in Canada and other countries due to cost.
Texas - All the tv shows get filmed there... but where does your favorite poker game from? Texas Hold'em anyone?
If the TV shows thing was true I think it would have beat this one but then Im a black Jack player but would love to learn Poker.

California - We're the Golden State. Not the Cheese State. Not the Garden State.....GOLDEN!!!
Umm Ya ok what ever?
Texas - You can keep your golden state... We're the Lone Star State...
Ya Umm ok what ever?

California - We have In-N-Out (Arizona and Vegas are lucky we share that with them)
MMMM In-N-Out
Texas - Do I have to remind you about the drive thru Beer Barn again? Does In-N-Out serve alcohol? (Oh and did I mention Dr. Pepper was created in Texas?)
Ya we already talked about Beer Barns and lets not pull out what was created were because Im sure California has things that it created that you eat drink or use every day.

California- I have the most representation in the House of Representatives, which means MY opinion means more than yours, which means I'm better than you [geez.... hahaha]
Ok what ever

California - The best athletes come from here
Ya I don’t think this one is true either.
Texas - You guys have the best athletes huh?... Two words... Lance Armstrong, Though I could mention MICHAEL JOHNSON - Olympic Sprinter, World record holder in 200m and 400m, 5 Olympic Gold metals, 9 time World Champion (born Dallas, Tx)
They are/were great Athletes but I think if we started a list it would get long for both sides. Lets just say some great people have come from both states.

Texas - Texas is the only state that can legally fly its flag side by side with the U.S. flag at the same height.
I don’t get this one. But then this goes back to Im an American I just live in different states.

Texas - Football is a religion, not a sport
To a lot of people in California it is also

Texas - In Texas, football means football, not soccer.
Does in California also and sense Houston just picked up San Frans soccer team it means Texas is into it more

Texas - 90% of football "movies" you guys are making are about Texas Football.
Ya not too sure I would be proud of this because 50 percent of the people in those movies are shown as below average people

Texas - Texas is the only state that can still separate to become its own country. The only way California's gonna accomplish that is if another earthquake comes along and you guys sink into the ocean. Can you say Atlantis.... Hahaha
I think it is interesting to learn that as much as I hear this from Texans its not true. And really The U.S. Could survive with Texas. I do Believe California has more income then Texas even with its oil. And other then that Im not too sure what else Texas would have to offer.


Also remember you are not the biggest state...Alaska could break up into like 4-5 states all still larger then Texas.


-- So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $250,000 cotton
strippers that are driven only 3 weeks a year.
I love this one its so true

-- There are cattle & oil wells. That's what they smell like to you.
They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-20 and I-10 go
east and west, I-35 goes north and south. Pick one.
I smelled more cattle and saw more oil wells in California

-- So every person in every pickup waves. It's called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.
Ya this is not true in Houston

-- Yeah, we eat catfish & crawfish. You really want sushi & caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop.
I don’t really want either.

-- The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.
Don’t have any thing to say about this one

-- The best BBQ is cooked in Texas and no vinegar in Real BBQ
Different people in different areas have different tastes and the BBQ in texas to me is over cooked and covered in too much BBQ sauce.
Where I am from there is a BBQ on almost every corner for School support and stuff. Its as big as a f150 is open flame from Oak wood and you don’t put a cover over it to kill the flame. You also use NO BBQ sauce. Just a few simple spices so you get the flavor of the meat and wood that cooked it.

-- Colleges? Try Texas Tech, Texas A&M or University of Texas. They
come outta there with an education plus a love for God and country, and
they still wave at passing pickups when they come for the holidays.
Still not seeing the waving thing and California has Cal Poly Tech, Cal Poly Ag, Stanford, UCLA, Berkeley(great school I guess had two friends go there but they fit the Berkeley Student but they are Rich now), and though its a great school and I did get to spend some time there not for College but when I was in high school...UC Santa Barbara right one the beach I would miss so much school because I would have been out surfing.

-- We have more folks in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and
Marines, than any other state, so "Don't Mess with Texas," If you do, you will get whipped bythe best.
Ya actually this was brought up in the other thread and is not true. California has more it was like Texas at 9% and California at 10% plus I think California has more missiles

-- Always remember what our great governor Sam Houston once said:
"Texas can make it without the United States, but the United States can't make it without Texas!"
Still don’t think this is true

-- When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats,
vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and Picante
Sauce! ; !Oh, yeah.... We don't care what you folks in California call
that stuff you eat... It ISN'T REAL CHILI!! Chili was born and bred in San Antonio.... and real chili never met a tomato!
I understand that what Texans call chili is probably chili but to the rest of the world its more like what we eat in California

-- No, there's no "vegetarian special" on the menu. Order steak. or
you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham & turkey.
Ill take the steak!

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST!!!

-- Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.
Ya that goes for both states!!

 

damn that was funny!

other states are smaller wussier and they talk funny!

 

Greggvh- Good job, I have lived in both states and you make very good points on both sides. I love both states for different reasons. Cali-because I lived in the central valley and it was 2 hours to the beach in summer and 2 hours the other direction for snow boarding in the winter. Texas- I can mod the hell out of my car and not have to worry about emmisions and can have side window tint lol. For the record though In and Out burger is WAAAAAAAAY better than Whataburger... not even close.

 

Don't mess with Texas, or State Troopers.

 

yeah man

 

just saying that "i'm from texas"


means nothing at all

he could have said any place and it carried the same weight


being from texas means absolutely nothing, and is painfully ridiculous to say so in such a declarative manner
