Sorry, I was fixen dinner and when the subject of carbonated drinks comes up I got back to MY roots. Strange but there are few of us left up here that still call the drink tonic.
Is there anyone out there that has ever had the experience of drinking a MOXIE ? Anyone who does will never forget it.
Now Brother Johns Elixir, did that noxious stuff ever hit the rest of the country.?

Ya know, this thread WAS about Texas and Texans.... NOT some ancient history. Perhaps you would be better off starting your own thread and staying out of this one?? :hammer: :hammer: :hammer: :hammer:

I was gonna say "the smell."
Well...that too AND the rat-sized cockroaches.

They didn't know what the only natural lake in the state is? Really??

Gee whiz. Even I know that, and I only been here for 30 years.

depends on how you define lakes. MN will call a small pond a lake.
-

Said *I* don't know the answers. The other three guys I'm with are 1 - from NJ, 2 - Spain (in Austin for 5 years), 3 - Houston by way of Cedar Rapids.
I didn't really ask - I was focused on my short-stack at iHOP. :rotf:
-

It's Caddo Lake and we have to share it with Louisiana.

Texas does have more lakes than Minnesota, HOWEVER, Texas' lakes are man-made whereas Minnesota's are mostly natural. Too bad we didn't know you were coming to Dallas in advance. WE could have had a mini get-together.

Yeah, what Thor said. ::)

In one word, what is the biggest difference between Houston and Dallas?
Attitude.
I've always thought Dallas treats Houston like we're they're red headed step child. There's an arrogance towards us. Doesn't mean I don't like Dallas or people from there.

I like Houston people too, and your easy access to gulf shrimp. What I don't like is your humidity, and your traffic, and the smell. (On the LaPorte side, to be specific.)
-
And THAT, my friend, is the Number one Answer!
come on now, we got a lot of class here in Houston.
don't be like the NY times and call Houston a smelly bayou cesspool like they did in 1994 when the Rockets beat their precious New York Knicks.
:-)

Nah, that was just a little neener-neenering on my part. Now if we were talking about Austin, however...... Why does such a pretty place have to be so daggum crazy?
-

That's why I live in the far far NW area of Houston; as far away from Stinkadena as possible. lol
I'll give you the humidity and traffic; I guess living here almost my whole life I have just gotten used to it. Actually, the humidity is something that I've never gotten used to; it is brutal especially in August. But I like being close to Louisiana for gambling; close to Galveston, close to Austin, close to San Antonio.

I went to LaPorte for business one year. Went to go visit friends in Sugarland. Dude! It took me TWO FREAKING HOURS one way and something like $5. Heck. I coulda flown home and back. Crazy.
-
I can't dog too much on Houston. UH is on my short list for grad school, so I may be living there before too long.
-
1/2 of my family was from Houston. 1/2 of my family was from Dallas. My heart belongs to Dallas, but I am certainly at home in Houston too.
I'm a Bicitual.

LOOOONG day. Left Dallas at 5am, drove to Austin for breakfast and meetings. Drove to Houston for lunch and meetings. Dropped off a partner resource and just got to the hotel... quick shower and we're off to Capone's for the evening. :cheersmate:
Dallas was fun... Coworkers told the girls at BoneDaddy's that it was my birthday... then commemorated it with a picture that I'm sure will end up on facebook. :lmao:
Bunch of con-calls tomorrow morning and then I fly home.
Should be an interesting day given the FBI seizure of one of the local Mosques...

Well, if you are really serious about staying in Texas ..... I did some research for you. Here is a really nice area and I hear the real estate agents are a #1, top notch, best in the business, not to be outsold, etc .... you get the idea.

Looks like a BEEEEUUUUUU tiful area!
KC
PS .... ignore the shameless plug.

if only it were a real option. I won't be able to anything w/in the company until at least July. And even then, it's going to be an issue of positioning and relocation.
But it is beautiful down here. And even the airport isn't as big of a PITA as MN. :-)

I dunno about that......... MSP is way easier to navigate than DFW and MUCH smaller. I went to DFW to drop a friend off in Mar 08. I got lost!! It didn't help that he didn't have a departure gate on his ticket. We wound up having to call his airline to find out what gate to drop him off at. At least at MSP, worst case, one walks the length of the airport at the ticket counters. IMO, MSP is far easier to navigate.

That is just crazy talk.

Then call me crazy. Been to both. Worked at MSP for a while for Delta.

The roads around and in DFW Airport are a spaghetti factory.

The roads aren't too bad, it's WHERE to exit off for the different gates. Yeah, I was pretty confused in trying to find my way in there. Two trips around the airport road. I won't even get into 121 coming from Hwy 75. Talk about clusterflucks.

Yeah, they have that all tore up. Getting into DFW from 121...you'd better be ready to trade some paint with the SOB that won't let you exit.

Hey Crazy! :tongue:

Gates are in ascending or descending order depending on if you approach from North or South Entrance.
I won't even get into 121 coming from Hwy 75. Talk about clusterflucks.
Well now, that ain't the airport, that there is McKinney, and it is hosed.
I like that you can get to the terminal, and to your gate quickly. If you know your gate number. Otherwise you are hosed. Especially if you are flying AA.
Delta? I thought they were strictly an Atlanta based group. I swear I took a flight from SF to LA once, and had a layover in ATL.... :hyper:
-
Delta is an ATL based airline, however, they do fly to other airports and need ramp rats and minimal ground crews. Delta had only three gates at MSP.

After driving on TX roads, I think anyone who says MN infrastructure is any better - or even on par with TX - needs to put down the crack pipe. :tongue:
-
DFW Airport is brilliantly simple to navigate. You have to have blonde brain matter in order to get lost or screwed up.
If you know the first five letters of the alphabet in order, and if you know the meaning of 'arrival' and 'departure', and if you know the difference between south and north, and if you can drive on a wide modern freeway, and if you can handle left-hand exits, then you have all the lifskills and mental tools you'll need.
