Are You 100% Texan?

[boinky 0]

You are 100% Texan if...

1. It doesn't bother you to use an airport named for a man who died in an airplane crash.

2. You use the phrase "fixin' to" almost daily.

3. Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding date.

4. You've ever been excused from school because "the cows got out."

5. You can properly pronounce the town Mexia and Mesquite.

6. You can remember the name of the last state legislator to introduce a bill involving castration and he didn't mean farm animals.

7. You know exactly what calf fries are, and eat them anyway.

8. You can recall hot summers by the year they happened easier than you can remember your mother's birthday.

9. You think that people who complain about the wind in their states are sissies.

10. You know that the true value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to the door but by the availability of shade.

11. You have owned at least one belt buckle bigger than your fist.

12. A bad traffic jam involves two cars staring each other down at four-way stop, each determined to be the most polite and let the other one go first.

13. When you hear a tornado siren, you go out and look for a funnel.

14. Your "place at the lake" has wheels under it.

15. You aren't surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, and bait all in the same store.

16. A Mercedes Benz is not a status symbol. A Ford F350 4x4 is.

17 . You know that everything goes better with Ranch.

18 . You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply.

19. You know that "y'all" is singular and "all y'all" is plural.

20 . You are 100% Texan if you have ever had this conversation:
"You wanna Coke?"
"Yeah."
"What kind?"
"Dr. Pepper."

12. A bad traffic jam involves two cars staring each other down at four-way stop, each determined to be the most polite and let the other one go first.

Ugh.... all the time. What usually ends up happening is both cars go at the same time and one ends up having to stop in the middle of the intersection..

My brother actually got up on the roof of his house to look for a funnel after a siren, then called me on his cell when he saw one.

Billy, so you heard a warning siren and went outside to look for the pretty green clouds?

Well, in Pittsburgh, they RESCHEDULED Halloween, which fell on a Sunday because the Steelers were playing! They had Halloween on Thursday (this was last year 2004)... Now, if a whole town can reschedule Halloween, I'll believe Dave's story.

By the way, I am from Texas... I said yes to all the questions.

I sort of got it. I figured they are so brave that they go out and watch the carnage instead of running for cover like most of us have been trained to do.

But since I'm an import, I'm sure one of the true 100% Texans could explain it better.

Well, i do remember a bunch of us gathering at a friends house to watch the tornado's and drinking beer when i was in college. Of course i also remember putting on a hard had and going outside to hit the hail that was falling with a golf club.

[hi-jack]A lot of cities reschedule Halloween if it falls on a Sunday because Halloween is considered a pagan holiday and with Sunday being the holiest day of the week, they tend to have trick or treating on Saturday. Here in Chattanooga, we celebrate Halloween on Saturday if it falls on a Sunday. The year I was born (Oct. 30), they were celebrating Halloween on my b-day. My mom was getting my brothers dressed in their costumes and eating candy corn when her water broke. [/hi-jack]

why would someone go outside to look for tornados? it doesn't make sense unless the person is a storm chaser. are you implying that all texans are storm chasers?
