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. > >Love, >Augustus Stern > And kisses, === END RESTOP REPSOT RESPTO === [*] I have since been told that it's twice a sentence, not twice a day, y'all [/QUOTE]
