Paul Harvey...Good Day!

[Birdstrike]

From Paul Harvey's commentary today. Like most old-timers, he usually gets it about right. You can hear the entire 15 minute broadcast at paulharvey.com:

"...Paul Manzola has a new variation of the current Survivor show on TV that you can play without ever leaving Texas...contestants each start out in a car from Amarillo with a bumper sticker that reads:

I AM A GAY ATHEIST VEGETARIAN.
I AM HERE TO TAKE YOUR GUNS.

The winner is anybody who gets as far as Brownsville alive.

Give me a Lamborgni and I could do it.

Austin would be the "safe" area where you could rest for a bit.

I had a similar idea

I was going to put either a "he's not my president" sticker or one of Calvin peeing on a big W on my truck before driving home last year, and videotape people's reactions in Texass as they drove past.

Couldn't find a level III bulletproof vest for under $500, though, so I scrapped the plan.

This is good news. I may move to Texas. I would be afraid if I did though that I wouldn't be in the most right wing conservative state humanly possible. What is that state? I'm in Georgia now.

Hey man, I hear ya. But Austin ain't really Texas; I know, I used to live in the area. It's kinda like the U.N., you know, it's in the U.S. but is not American. A lot of Austinites say that the only thing wrong with Austin is that it's too close to Texas. Kinda the other way around if you ask me. But it is a fun place if you know where to go!

lol prodigal...that's certainly true about Austin! I'm originally from Los Angeles, so a move to just about anywhere else in the state would have been too much of a culture shock for me! I certainly love it here, though.

Austin used to be a great place, until all the idiots from the Left Coast started to move in. Maybe we'll let you take the entire city back to LA and we will just start over again.

Utah is the most right wing conservative state that I have seen.

As a Texas native I can say that Paul Harvey was right on the money.

I printed that first post and passed it around the office - I could hear laughter for hours after that.

 

[bigD]

na265 - if you think I came out here for a tech job, and therefore contriubuted to an increase in Yuppiedom out here - you're wrong! I came out for school. THEN I got a tech job! But I don't wear khakis and a polo shirt, and I don't drive an A4 or Boxter either!

 

[Huck]

I heard the same joke awhile back. But it involved driving from Mobile, Alabama to Charlotte in a baby blue Volvo with a sticker that said "Earnhart was gay!"

LMAO! That's pretty funny.

I have a T-shirt from a sausage maker in Chicago, Sausage by Rosario. The shirt pictures a line of pigs happily jumping into the meat grinder to become sausage. The links then form letters below, spelling out "Sausage by Rosario." It's a classic. I especially like to wear it to the Birkenstock store in suburban Tacoma, just to see the looks on their faces. After all, I figure I can take the average vegan if anyone gets really outta line.

Then again, I do drive a baby blue Volvo. But the only bumper sticker on it is from In and Out Burger.

Cheers!
