The country north of SA is nice too, right around where corky's shop is. You could live there no problem and commute to SA.

I lived in NJ once for 2 months, I want my 2 months back.

My only experience with Jersey is driving through on I95. Every time I've had to drive through, the whole state smells like fart. As soon as you get out of Jersey it stops. Weird.

You are correct. But there are some very nice areas, also. When people drive through Western New Jersey they think they are in a different state.

The guidos are "down the shore" |
I have driven through western New Jersey and it is really weird as their is some nice country side. The yank accent is still very prevolent and that kind of throws it all off. Feels like New Yorkers that have a weekend country house, only they live there full time. Something straight out of the twilight zone if you ask me.

Just the fact that the Texas state flag is the only one allowed to fly equal to the US flag (by law) should be enough to convince the naysayers about the superiority complex that ensues from the greatest state of them all...

I keep thinkin' I wanna move to Austin. Problem is, the rest of Texas.... (ducking).
Sort of tongue in cheek, really. I think I'd like the majority of it but it seems like it might be very rigid in parts. |

We don't need any more people in Austin. Out of state "foreigners" are already too plentiful |
I have to agree about Austin. I've had family down there for 25+ years. Ten years ago I spent every other work week down there - commuting on 35 between Stassney & 79 during the week (our office was in Hutto). Way back then (seriously, not that long ago) the traffic wasn't ridiculous. Round Rock wasn't a fucking metropolis, and you could still (usually) sail through town on the upper deck of 35. Now it's a fucking zoo. I love going down there to hang out at Lake Travis with the cousins, but traffic is so goddamn atrocious that we rarely venture south of 183 & MoPac.
Dallas, for whatever reason, decided to actually plan for most growth and build fucking roads to handle said growth. It's missing a lot of Austin's character but if you get bored in one place, you can at least get across town in a reasonable stretch of time. I'm outside the second loop (635) and I can still make it to downtown in 15 minutes. Go figure. I was born in Big D and I've lived around here for most of my time. As much as I sometimes bitch about the influx of douchers, our lack of respect for anything historical, and the lack of shit to do that doesn't involve A/C and beer (not that I'm really complaining, but would it kill us to have a few more frisbee golf courses around here???); the place is home and I know it well. Feels comfy when I get back from a long trip. |
chuck norris lives in texas, nuff said

When Chuck Norris becomes the Texas Governor, he will not bother with a pansy election. He will just stage a military coup. By himself.
