  • That's right you're not from Texas! :)

    Dear Diary

    Just moved to Texas! Now this is a state that knows how to live!!
    Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy evenings. What a place!
    It is beautiful. I've finally found my home. I love it here.

    June 14th:

    Really heating up. Got to 100 today. Not a problem. Live in an
    air-conditioned home, drive an air-conditioned car.
    What a pleasure to see the sun everyday like this. I'm
    turning into a sun worshipper.

    June 30th:

    Had the backyard landscaped with western plants today. Lots
    of cactus and rocks. What a breeze to maintain. No more mowing
    the lawn for me. Another scorcher today, but I love it here.

    July 10th:

    The temperature hasn't been below 100 all week. How do
    people get used to this kind of heat?
    At least, it's kind of windy though. But getting used to the
    heat is taking longer than I expected.

    July 15th:

    Fell asleep by the community pool. (Got 3rd degree burns
    over 60% of my body).. Missed 3 days of work. What a dumb thing to do.
    &nbs p; I learned my lesson though. Got to respect the ol' sun in a
    climate like this.

    July 20th:

    I missed Lomita (my cat) sneaking into the car when I left
    this morning. By the time I got to the hot car at noon, Lomita
    ; had died and swollen up to the size of a shopping bag, then
    popped like a water balloon. The car now smells like Kibbles and ****s.
    I learned my lesson though. No more pets in this heat. Good ol' Mr. Sun strikes again.

    July 25th:

    The wind sucks. It feels like a giant freaking blow dryer!!
    And it's hot as hell. The home air-conditioner is on the
    fritz and the AC repairman charged $200 just to drive by and tell
    me he needed to order parts.

    July 30th:

    Been sleeping outside on the patio for 3 nights now,
    $225,000 house and I can't even go inside. Lomita is the lucky one.
    Why did I ever come here?

    Aug. 4th:

    It's 115 degrees. Finally got the air-conditioner fixed today.
    It cost $500 and gets the temperature down to 85. I hate
    this stupid state.

    Aug. 8th:

    If another wise ass cracks, 'Hot enough for you today?' I'm
    going to strangle him. Damn heat. By the time I get to work,
    the radiator is boiling over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I
    smell like baked cat!!

    Aug. 9th:

    Tried to run some errands after work. Wore shorts, and when
    sat on the seats in the car, I thought my ass was on fire.
    My skin melted to the seat. I lost 2 layers of flesh and all
    the hair on the back of my legs and ass . . . Now my car smells
    like burnt hair, fried ass, and baked cat.

    Aug 10th:

    The weather report might as well be a damn recording. Hot
    and sunny.
    Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. It's been too hot to do ****
    for 2 damn months and the weatherman says it might really warm up
    next week. Doesn't it ever rain in this damn state? Water rationing
    will be next, so my $1700 worth of cactus will just dry up and blow over.
    Even the cactus can't live in this damn heat.

    Aug. 14th:

    Welcome to HELL! Temperature got to 115 today. Cacti are dead.
    Forgot to crack the window and blew the damn windshield out
    of the car. The installer came to fix it and guess what he
    asked me??? "Hot enough for you today?"

    My sister had to spend $1,500 to bail me out of jail.
    & nbsp; Freaking Texas. What kind of a sick demented idiot would want to live here?? Will write later to let you know how the trial goes.

          In San Antonio we are going on 50 days in a row of 100+ degree heat, 11 inches under average rainfall for the year.

          It does, indeed, suck this year.

          ACK!
          Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

            Nice one, hadn't seen it because I have a life, unlike Mint... well, actually I don't have a life, but I just post here.

            Reminds me of;

            Texas Chili Cookoff
            TEXAS CHILI COOK-OFFS

            INEXPERIENCED CHILI TASTER
            Notes From An Inexperienced Chili Tester Named FRANK, who was visiting Texas from the East Coast: "Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking directions to the beer wagon, when the call came. I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy,
            and besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting - So I accepted."


            Here are the scorecards from the event:
            __________________________________________________ ______________________



            CHILI # 1 - MIKE'S MANIAC MOBSTER MONSTER CHILI
            JUDGE ONE: A little too heavy on tomato. Amusing kick.
            JUDGE TWO: Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.
            FRANK: Holy ****, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the worst one. These Texans are crazy.
            __________________________________________________ ______________________


            CHILI # 2 - ARTHUR'S AFTERBURNER CHILI
            JUDGE ONE: Smokey, with a hint of pork. Slight Jalapeno tang.
            JUDGE TWO: Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously.
            FRANK: Keep this out of the reach of children. I'm not sure what I am supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face.
            __________________________________________________ ______________________


            CHILI # 3 - FRED'S FAMOUS BURN DOWN THE BARN CHILI
            JUDGE ONE: Excellent firehouse chili! Great kick. Needs more beans.
            JUDGE TWO: A beanless chili, a bit salty, good use of peppers.
            FRANK: Call the EPA, I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back; now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting ****-faced from all the beer.
            __________________________________________________ ______________________


            CHILI # 4 - BUBBA'S BLACK MAGIC
            JUDGE ONE: Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.
            JUDGE TWO: Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or
            other mild foods, not much of a chili.
            FRANK: I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Is it possible to burnout taste buds? Sally, the barmaid, was standing behind me with fresh refills; that 300 lb. ***** is starting to look HOT just like this nuclear waste I'm eating. Is chili an aphrodisiac?
            __________________________________________________ ______________________


            CHILI # 5 - LINDA'S LEGAL LIP REMOVER
            JUDGE ONE: Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very Impressive!
            JUDGE TWO: Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.
            FRANK: My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage; Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from a pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off? It really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Screw those rednecks!
            __________________________________________________ ______________________


            CHILI # 6 - VERA'S VERY VEGETARIAN VARIETY
            JUDGE ONE: Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spice
            and peppers.
            JUDGE TWO: The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic.
            Superb!
            FRANK: My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulfuric flames. I **** on myself when I farted and I'm worried it will eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that Sally. She must be kinkier than I thought. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my ass with a snow cone!
            __________________________________________________ ______________________


            CHILI # 7 - SUSAN'S SCREAMING SENSATION CHILI
            JUDGE ONE: A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.
            JUDGE TWO: Ho Hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili
            peppers at the last moment. I should take note that I am worried about Judge Number 3, He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably.
            FRANK: You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel a damn thing. I've lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava-like **** to match my damn shirt. At least during the autopsy they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing, it's too painful. Screw it, I'm not getting any
            oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach.
            __________________________________________________ ______________________

            CHILI # 8 - Helen's Mount Saint Chili
            JUDGE ONE: A perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili, safe for all, not too bold but spicy enough to declare it's existence.
            JUDGE TWO: This final entry is a good, balanced chili. Neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge Number 3 passed out, fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make it. Poor Yank, wonder how he'd have reacted to a really hot chili?
            FRANK: (Not available for comment.)
            Monkey!!!

                    Tia, Slowwhand

                    I personally have the utmost respect for Texans, allways have.

                    I too have seen variations, two from Maine where I grew up.

                    One was about Black Flies..(you would have to be from Maine to understand just how thick they are, almost cant breathe when they are in full bloom) and about the cold and wind chill


                    Still, its fun to see the humor in people trying to adapt in an environment.


                    I love Tia's laugh at this, and her explanation about being in the blood of those from Texas

                          No, not really. Just because you insist on an ongoing pissing match with Tia doesn't make Oerdin correct.
