We have the legal right to morph into 5 states.

The last time the Hurricanes blew through the Cotton Bowl, the Longhorns got spanked 46-3 and the NCAA instituted the "Miami Rules" against taunting and celebrations. I can still remember Randall Hill catching a long TD and running through the back of the end zone and deep into the tunnel to do his dance. Ahhh...the memories.

my best friend is from Texas

Hank Hill.
That my ex lives there and not here.

The Reverende Horton Heat. I love them! Met 'em in Louisville at the Thunderdome in 1994. Great guys. Seen 'em seven times.

"Bales Of Cocaine" by Reverend Horton Heat

Well, I was workin' on my farm 'bout 1982,
Pullin' up some corn and a little carrot, too
When two low-flying aeroplanes, 'bout a hundred feet high
Dropped a bunch o' bales o' somethin', some hit me in the eye...

So I cut a bale open, an' man was I surprised
Bunch o' large sized baggies, with big white rocks inside
So I took a little sample to my crazy brother Joe
He sniffed it up and kicked his heels, said, "Horton, that's some blow";

Bales of cocaine, fallin' from low-flyin' planes
I don't know who done dropped 'em, but I thank 'em just the same
Bales of cocaine, fallin' like a foreign rain
My life changed completely by the low-flyin' planes

So I loaded up them bales in my pick-em-up truck,
Headed west for Dallas, where I would try my luck
I didn't have a notion if I could sell 'em there,
But, thirty minutes later, I was a millionaire...

Bales of cocaine, fallin' from low-flyin' planes
I don't know who done dropped 'em, but I thank 'em just the same
Bales of cocaine, fallin' like a foreign rain
My life changed completely by the low-flyin' planes

And now I am a rich man, but I'm still a farmer, too
But I sold my farm in Texas, bought a farm down in Peru
And when I get so homesick, I think I'm goin' insane,
I travel back to Texas in a low-flyin' plane...

Bales of cocaine, fallin' from low-flyin' planes
I don't know who done dropped 'em, but I thank 'em just the same
Bales of cocaine, fallin' like a foreign rain
My life changed completely by the low-flyin' planes

Guns

Drunk cowboys driving 1972 convertible Cadillacs with long horns on the hood shooting their guns in the air yelling ye-haw!! !

Here's the best fact of all: I'm from Texas!

That does it for me. I do like space, and shooting beer cans in the ditch while driving 85.
