Bro I live In Texas. I just saw this in all.

Everything, and I mean everything, is bigger in Texas

Except budget, taxes, healthcare, eduction, over all happiness, morals or freedom

But we’re number one in having an Alamo.

To be clear this is satire.

Excuse me while I take a break to drink my large soda from Whataburger.

It's gonna be a while.

It better be a dr. Pepper! And that’s just to hold you over until you get to the drive thru bar. Thier specials have been pickle flavored for a while, who wants to get drunk on that?

We truly live in the blursed timeline.

I felt I had to add that because we live in the crazy timeline

Edit: I couldn’t help but notice you didn’t mention YOUR Alamo? We had a whole ass Alamo and you didn’t.

Satire

I'm not so sure about that, the airport terminal near me also has an Alamo. I guess maybe Texas is tied for number one on that.

There’s also Alamo rental car. Don’t come at me with your “it’s called alamo” unless the most famous not Texan (Davey Crockette ) weighed your luggage.

Off topic joke I worked at a leather shop in Florida but again I’m from Texas. We sold very large knives to scary bikers.

Anyway one guy said to me “a Bowie knife make everyone think twice lol”

Me: I don’t know man, you know who else had a Bowie knife? Jim Bowie. And he fuckin died.

I don't get the bigness thing about texas, Ontario is one third bigger.

I really don’t know where the “bigger in Texas” thing comes from. I know when traveling to Florida is a two day trip. The first day is all Texas and the second day is traveling thru the other 3 states. I know king ranch is big enough if your car breaks down you are in real trouble. People die walking thru king ranch it’s so big.

I don re know about Canada but there a whole lot of nothing in Texas. Driving for hours and seeing nothing but land.
