Joke - For all Native Texans or anyone that wants to be one

Yeah, my aunt used to live down off Kuykendal in Klein. I never understood why the 'r' got put in there. Must be our accents getting in the way or something.

Need to add can say Manchacha and Gruene to the list too. I probably spelled the first one wrong because I can pronounce it right.

1. You can properly pronounce Corsicana,
Palestine , Decatur, Wichita Falls, Houston, San
Antonio, Burnet, Boerne, Nacogdoches,
Mexia, Waco, Amarillo, and Waxahachie.

Ok how do we know we said it right?

I would like to add two more thing to that list.


You pull over to the shoulder of the road to let the guy behind you pass!
You are proud to stand in line patiently while the store clerk helps an elderly
women out with her groceries.

I have lived in several states, and I have to admit , Texas was the best. I miss the people but have to admit , I dont miss the heat and the biting ants.

Austin Rules!

PS I am orginally from Long Island NY , case anyone was wondering.​

I guess you know then that Houston isn't said the same way here and in NY City, then. I thought it was kind of freaky the first time I heard it pronounced "house-ton". That was just soooo wrong to my ears!

What?
No mention of spam samwidches and the rattle snake roundup in Sweetwater!
No dust storms or tumble weeds either?
We can do better than that can't we?

Let's see...

the Strawberry Festival in Pasadena
the Blueberry Festival in Nacogdoches
the Alligator Festival in Anahuac
the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo in Houston
the State Fair in Dallas

Help me out here...

Mineola has a Hay festival and Tyler is the rose capital of the world.

 

[Buckguy20]

I got all the names right and everything else applies to Oklahoma as well. I guess I live close enough to be called a Texan but please don't.

What about the Polkafest in New Braunfels?
In Wichita Falls...all y'all know what a Red Draw is. Why are mobile homes so popular in Tornado Alley? Cattin' at PK Lake! BBQ in Texas usually doesn't mean pork. It weren't Mr Cheney's fault that guy got 'lead in his head,' he just got in the way of a perfect kill-shot on a bird, DAYUMITT!

BTW the fire ant did NOT come up through Mexico...but came in through Mobile,Alabama via cargo pallet from a ship from Brazil and spread east and west then south.

All y'all take care!
