Ouch!! I have just heard that the opposition is going to pass a non confidence motion against the federal government sparking an election.

See what misusing the peoples money and lying gets you....

Politicians take note.

I worked for Texas Shakespeare Festival when I was there and we'd practice sword and stunt fighting under one of the at Kilgore College. I don't think I'll ever forget those. 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]

Mike

<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....

[techguy57]

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?

Mike

"Here's Johnny!!"............Oh wait a moment; that's the Shinning not Shiner.

[edblysard]

Sure, as so as I can figure out how!

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...

Double with cheese and penos........you're okay in my book.....

[Kozzie]

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...

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....

[brazos87]

Shiner is to beer what Blue Bell is to ice cream. Thanks dharmon!

[dharmon]

WOW..Shiner, Blue Bell and Whataburger in the same thread on a trains forum......throw in some babes, Threadgill's chicken fried steak and bring back the Southwest Conference.....and it may be what heaven is like.

[brazos87]

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!

Dan,
Just caught the "second hand lion"...
excuse me, I have to go out side and breath a little...the kids think I have lost it, again!

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]

Glad to see this thread take a turn. The Bush Bash was becoming rhetorical.
Not that I was at all surprised.

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

No, I have never done fire alarm systems. And no, you didn't have to deal with me last week!

QUOTE: 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.

It wasn't Kilgore-Longview, Texas - It was Killeen, Texas home to Fort Hood. I wasn't from Indiania, I was from California. There was a big difference during 1971.

QUOTE: Jim, I had talked with you before with no issues but where exactly in this post have you been civil?

Well, I never ever called anyone anything...Check it out. Its in black and white, didn't call any one; stupid, fat, ugly or anything else. However, I did remind Christens that Christ didn't come to save the rightous.

QUOTE: Sorry, but I think Christ would say turn theother cheek rather than I'll fini***his by golly.

Yep, Christ would absolutly turn his cheek, to the money changers that continue to exploit the have-nots. Don't know how well traveled you are, but in my travels through these United States, I've seen third world pockects of poverty. Churches using his name continuing to support the system, which seems not to be able change these pockets of poverty,

Oh, as long as you get your "Starbucks" and every now an again you hook with a cause in the thrid party, donate a buck or two....When was the last time you got dirty.

I'm as libral as Richard Nixon, who in his day and age was a rebublicain, today he'd be considered a no-good progressive!

And, how could you real Texans watch some corporate empire take over Pearl, and Lone Star. In my travels all over America, I always enjoyed sampling the regional brews.

When in New England having an ice cold beer, it was Narragansett, in western Pennsylvania it was Rolling Rock, in the northwest it was Olympia, in the almost west it was Coors. And one can't forget a western brewer Falstaff. Yes, I forgot to mention St Louis and Milwaukee, these brewers ended regional brewing as we knew it, no mention of them.
