How many Texans have we got on this list, anyway?

I thought it went "would you like fries with that?"
>Remember the Alamo
I know this one!! General Santa-Barbara got peeved and invaded Texas
when Jiminy Crockett wouldn't stop playing his country & western CDs
at 4 in the morning. Then the lot of them went to a small little town
in the middle of the Texas pothandle (motto: the biggest hunk of
nothing anyone's ever seen, and we're PROUD of it, dammit) and played
pinochle until Santa-Barbara's mom, Hanna-Barbara, came around and
told him to go home.
>Remember Goliad
This sounds like a town where oil was discovered. Or was that in
Louisiana? I forget. Is it Louisiana where they pipe the oil straight
into their fried chicken, or is that Kentucky?
>Remember Waco
That was a KeWL movie. The sequel, "Waco's World II", was pretty crap,
though. I hear he's got a show of his own now.

ObGURPS:
Stats for the typical Texan:
ST 12 (from driving monster pickup trucks)
DX 9 (it's hard to move in those jeans and cowboy boots)
IQ 8 (pickup truck exhaust is bad for the brain)
HT 9 (too much southern food is bad for the body)
Disads:
Odious Personal Habit 1 (uses "y'all" at least twice an hour)[*]
Odious Personal Habit 2 (insists that Texas is the best in everything)
Delusion (believes that Texas is the best at everything)
Intolerance (against people who reckon Texas isn't the best at
everything)
Maybe I'll just unsubscribe now.
