:laugh01: what is this....slap texas around day?

Weathers great, mid-50's and the snow is just about gone here near DC. Been a while since I went up towards Cumberland, but since I need to go through Virginia and West Virginia to get there I'd say close to two hours, but that's a guess. Actually, I checked on Yahoo and it says 2 hours, 21 minutes, but I don't drive like them Yahooers.

And, much as my English teachers are rolling over in their graves, I know all-a all y'all because I have been known to use it. It's only for really big gatherings though.

How's the little one doing?

Alright Cheeseball, keep throwin' those rocks. You guys gave the world Jeffey Dahmer, Laverne and Shirley and Milwakee's Best. Those are not exactly the "jetset". ;)

You forgot Liberace. :laugh:

Oh, and Ed Gein, the inspiration for both Norman Bates in "Psycho" and Hannibal Lecter in "Silence of the Lambs".

But, for the record, TELEVISION gave you "Laverne and Shirley". It's like saying that, thanks to Seattle, Frasier and Niles Crane have graced our world.

And finally, "Milwaukee's Best" isn't, nor never was, brewed in Milwaukee. (Sadly, Schlitz was.)

Mmmmmmm. Beer.

Jazz, I don't know when your last visit to TX was, but there aren't very many people in TX that have big hair anymore...

And, more than likely there is someone here in TX WITH big hair that might take offense to that comment.

Last visit was in '97. Had a six month contract down there.

To address the sensitivities of anyone reading this from the Lone Star State who may or may not be coiffed to defy gravity:

I live in Wisconsin, ya der hey. I've heard all the jokes and stereotypes of the denizens of this fine state, and like all stereotypes, they are based on reality - just stretched enough to be funny. We in the Badger State have a great ability to laugh at ourselves, our foibles, and our stereotypes.

Come join us, ye great people of Texas, and laugh at yourself - lest ye be laughed at for the inability to do so.

regards,
jazz

Weather sounds pretty nice for this time of the year. I have famliy in Cumberland. Planning a trip up there in 06 or 07. might just have to look you up when I get there. I also have family in Baltimore, so I will be close to DC.

The little one is doing great. Getting big...about 12 lbs now. He was sleeping through the night, but has started teething...so we are up most of the night again with sore gums.

97...that was way too long ago. Sounds like another trip is due. We in TX can laugh at ourselves too...or at least us non-native texans can. I am from all over, so I have learned things from Washington, Maryland, Colorado, New York, and Maine. So, I know how to take jokes and turn them around on the person telling them.

To you, '97 was almost one-third of your life ago. To me, is seems like a coffee and a danish away. :)

While I'm from 'Sconsin (as we say, in our native shorthand), I've lived in New York and Illinois, and due to my work, have had extended stays in Ohio, Texas, Missouri, Minnesota, California, and Pennsylvania.

So, imagine getting ribbed about being from Milwaukee by someone living in Buffalo. The possibilities are endless. :)
