All that said, I'm a cocky SOB, I've got a healthy ego, but not because I'm a Texan. It's because I rock. Being Texan just makes it all that much sweeter.

By the way, this is a goofy thread.

See that's the thing nothing is cool about Texas .

That's what people don understand when they wonder why texans think the state is looked up to in some way.. It's like being proud of being bumble eff Maine or somethin

Funny, most people do that about DC. Marion Berry! Har dee har har har (on the inside)! Odd you, of all people, were apointed spokesman for the humor tastes of most people. Odd, especially considering you'd laugh at something as inane as where a person was born or chooses to live. Odd, very odd.

Hold your hand over your head, palm downturned. Move it backwards in a sweeping motion while saying, "Whoooosh." Do you find people doing that to you often? Nothing is cool about Texas? I'll make a similar observation about you that I did that other braintrust above: Odd that you, of all people, were somehow made the arbiter of cool. Very odd indeed. I suppose the Bronx be all dat?

The people of New Jersey are no where near egotistical. We are just quick to defend who & what we are as a result of constant NYC provincial conditioning.
Say something bad about the Garden State & expect our wrath. It goes from calm to def con 1 in an instant. Otherwise, I think we are pretty open to others.
