Texas

[Ibanez]

I agree. I don't travel as nearly as much as I did before the baby came along. This past weekend in Texas was the first big trip I had in 2 years. I should've stated that I wish to visit San Antonio. I've heard good things.


But still, Houston is disgusting.

Hell, you won't get any argument from TEXANS about Houston. The rest of the state, though, is underappreciated.

Touche.

No but nobody cares about Norway. It's irrelevant. Put it this way: If Norway disappeared from the face of the Earth tomorrow we wouldn't even notice. Well, we'd see new about it. But there would be very little impact on anybody outside of Norway. If Texas did, we would. And so would everybody else. Not as much as us, but some.

The point is there is no reason to say things about Norway because nobody thinks about Norway. It's just there.

I don't know. Texas is vast and boring. Houston is a dumpster fire. The only city worth a damn is Austin.

Get out to the hill country around New Braunfels.

Texas has a lot of oil and things like world renowned cancer centers and very good public universities. I would be very willing to bet that there are more people from other places going to Texas for advanced medical treatment than there are going to Norway. Also things I happen to know about because I have a deaf son like top centers for Cochlear Implant surgery. There are more people coming from other places in order to go to universities than there are going to Norway. Then there's the oil. Texas is just flat out WAY more important to the world than Norway is.

More opinion disguised as fact. And Norway is doing pretty good for oil too and has universities every bit as good as Texas for a lower price.

I understand Texas' economic importance, but I'm pretty sure people in Norway think of Louisiana the same way you feel about Norway.

I haven't be to Louisiana, yet, so I can't judge it.

There is a movement to rename the state "Piss".

Name one Norskie college as good as UT-Austin or Rice.

Touche.

Z, pay attention, dumbazZ. It's the people who are ugly. Post all the postcard shots you want, but it won't change this fact.

Austin is full of liberal smartasses. I like San Antonio much better.

Houston is too hot but has a big Vietnamese community so you can get a decent bowl of pho and get your feet done cheap.

Oh - and BBQ is pork, motherfvckers

Who cares about liberals. Austin is all about Music. That's the only reason to go to Austin, for all the great music.

Hands down, the worst BBQ I've ever had was on Sunday at this place outside Houston. It was disappointing.

The music is COONT TREE and I don't care for coont tree.

I'm more of a bluegrass guy myself

The local violin repair shop here is operated by a guy who played fiddle for Bill Monroe. Also played guitar for the Osborne Bros.

The music in Austin is decidely NOT country. Just because Austin City Limits is filmed there doesn't mean Austin is a "country" music town. You walk down 6th street on any given night and you'll hear every kind of music imaginable. And very little country.

And most of the acts on ACL aren't country, either...

Austin as a whole is not Texas.
Anyone who has been to Austin, and anywhere outside Austin, knows that.

By this I assume you mean real country as opposed to the drivel from Nashville being marketed under the same name?

Waylon and Willie, Guy Clark, Jerry Jeff Walker, Townes van Zandt, Bobby Bare......about the only arguments I would entertain for not forcing Mexico to take Texas back....

I had you pegged as a Butthole Surfers or You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead fan....

No surprise that you're wrong again.

More like Carolina Chocolate Drops or Professor Longhair or Chickenfoot Gumbo....

I feel like this chart is a little misleading. Per capita is important, but the frequency of shootings in the USA makes a big difference. Also the years are super selective, all of Norway's "rampage fatalities" came in the 2011 terrorist attacks, in which Breivik purchased most all of his weapons from Norway, and his ammo from the US. Clearly the discussion of superiority between Norway and Texas is subjective, but I just wanted to talk about this chart

What?! Country is shit music but that isn't all that's there. Blues, there's a good Alt scene and bluegrass, as usual, is always a delight to listen to.

You can find so much more than country music in Austin.

Really not much of either.

No shit, sherlock.

That's why "per capita" is used. The US has 60x as many people....of COURSE the frequency is going to be higher.

Wow, a Peems appearance!

And, with a lower population... a single attack attack by a right wing cunt really scews the results.

Texas is just mad because when it comes to shooting rampages, everything ISN'T bigger in Texas.
