Helping LarryD <\/a>take over the internet one meme at a time!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

While chatting with LarryD this morning **cough beating him at Words with Friends cough** he casually mentioned (threatened me with bodily harm) that I had not yet done this week\u2019s 3 1\/2, and in fact had not done one for last week either.\u00a0 I asked him if that meant I owed him 7 Quick Takes, he muttered something about Jennifer Fulwiler<\/a> and then told me to get to work.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no ideas this week,\u201d I told him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWrite about Texas,\u201d he replied, \u201cYou never seem to run out of reasons why it\u2019s so great.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019s right!\u00a0 Texas rocks! I could do this with one arm tied behind my back.\u00a0 But I\u2019m not gonna \u2019cause I don\u2019t wanna. (Somewhere an English teacher just rolled in her grave.)<\/p>\n

So here\u2019s the \u201cWhy Y\u2019all Should Come to Texas Other Than You\u2019d Get to Say Y\u2019all a Lot<\/b>\u201d edition of 3 1\/2 time outs.<\/p>\n

1.<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n

The people are friendly here.\u00a0 #2 says \u201cSeriously, how many people are you going to meet here who want to beat you up for fun?\u201d\u00a0 I wasn\u2019t aware that this was a problem for him on the mean streets of Oklahoma, but it\u2019s definitely a plus.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s right.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been here an entire year and no one\u2019s tried to beat me up yet, and if you knew me you\u2019d know what an accomplishment that was.<\/p>\n

2.<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n

While other folks are trying to drown defenseless chipmunks. (I\u2019m eyeballin\u2019 you LarryD) Seriously, you\u2019re worried about these guys?<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

We have serious varmints down here we\u2019re trying to wrangle.<\/p>\n

Guys like this<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

but we ain\u2019t afeared of him! No sir, we round \u2019em up and eat \u2019em!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Heck, we like \u2019em so much that we give \u2019em their own queen!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Unless these are the chipmunks you\u2019re drowning, and then I say \u201cGood on ya!\u201d<\/p>\n

3.<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n

Stetson hats.\u00a0 Because\u2026\u2026yeah\u2026..<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

*swoon*<\/p>\n

3 1\/2.<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n

Oh, yeah\u2026.and you can ride a cow here if that\u2019s your thing.<\/p>\n
