Anyone else notice that this thread has more posts,and more pages,than the original"A Nice Little Place To Run Up The Post Count"? Does this mean anything?

I 'd almost forgotten but there was a BBQ place in Kilgore called The Country Tavern that had the best darn brisket I've ever had! Then there was Bodacious BBQ where everything was awesome! I got spoiled on it too and last time I was in Texas (San Antonio last year) I almost sent back the brisket I had because it just wasn't the same. There was also Crazy Bob's BBQ in Kilgore.
Lupe's was the mexican place we frequented most . Excellent burritos.

The afore mentioned Charburger Stockade is also a restaurant local to Kilgore that specializes in, yep you guessed it, Charburgers! They are kind of a broiled sloppy joe complete with a browned hamburger bun and are phenomenally good tasting. Another good place is Big T's where once a week the lunch special was a very large chicken fried steak meal for $6. I can feel my arteries cloggin g just thinking about them.[:p]

Now let's not get carried away--Arkansas was in the SWC. It was "perty" nice to have the only "furriners" to set foot on Texas soil as the Razorbacks. The Red River Shootout dunt count as most of the Sooners were texens 2 sturt with. I haf 2 agreeeeeee with the jenjus from the Land of Fruits & Nuts that texus is alot bad.

Reality has sunk in. It likes like the Left coast liberal is so bad that California won't keep him, and Massachusetts won't take him!

It's dark, heavier than a lager, but not black and bitter like a stout....almost kind of sweet. When I was in college, you either liked it or didn't......and it was cheap..a full keg for under $30. Then all of the sudden it became a trendy beer ...... but hard to find outside of Texas.

I have become kind of partial to Coopers....

Is the Shiner Bock a black brew? Sort of like the British beer called Stout? We have a black beer down here called Bock and tastes like a weaker version of Stout...

God I love Whataburger...I wonder why they've never ventured out of Texas. Mike, my favorite is the sausage egg and cheese BOB. The spiciness of the sausage vs. the softness and sweetness of the bun...Ahhhhh. I didn't grow up in Texas, but my sons did, so they load their tea with sugar (well, Splenda actually).

Shiner Brewery is about 25 miles from where I live. Great little town. Bock in pitchers is the BEST. I don't drink no mo, but I still have the memories...

IF you come up with a way to do so, can I request a bacon egg and cheese BOB and a couple of breakfast taquitos?

Kilgore College also has the East Texas oil museum. And of course the Rangerettes. I hope not to forget them either. I had a great time down there.

You wanna hear something really funny? The thing I miss most about Texas is the food. Even the fast food. I can't get Taco Bueno or Whataburger up here, and only get sweet tea if I make it myself. At least my soon to be in-laws have a house in Branson so I have them bring me up a case of Shiner Bock each time they come up. Time to start planning a road trip I think, all of this talk makes me want a Charburger![:D]

<Homer Simpson voice> ...Ohhh Whataburger......Ohhhh Shiner Bock....

...wait a minute..I have some of that in the fridge.....hold on......

..much better...nothing is better than a Shiner Bock after sharpening pointed sticks in the garage to poke through the bars of the cage at the second hand lion....

Thats funny, yep they spit on me in Killeen, Texas during 1971 for what I'd say in 2005 on this board. Makes sense to me!




Or maybe they were just good judges of character

Wow!

Ed,
I don't suppose Jim services fire alarm systems on the side. I could've sworn I just dealt with him last week.

Hell, I'm a Yankee from Indiana and spent 3 months living in the Kilgore/Longview TX area and no one spit on me. Must 've been doing something wrong.

Jim, I had talked with you before with no issues but where exactly in this post have you been civil? Sorry, but I think Christ would say turn theother cheek rather than I'll fini***his by golly. Geez, even a liberal like me knows that one.

Narrow mind, big gut...lonely, bitter person with nothing worth while in his life other then the arguments and fights he can pick.




I really enjoy you folks, will you quote my bait and switch. You can't, its not there! The hole thread is in black and white, it'll be easy, cut and paste. Make me eat my words!
