You know you're in Texas when...

[Scooter]

Ok...So I want to know what yall outside of Texas think of us. I start off...

You know you're in Texas when:

You can drive for 2 days and not leave the state.
You have tumbleweed races.
You make everything bigger just because you can.

So....true or not, lets hear 'em, y'all!

When you know it's 100 C outside
When you smell BBQ

[Melissa Nute]

You have spanish band masses...
Your state icon "the alamo" is in the middle of downtown...
You have more than your fair share of Garden Ridge's.

(then again, I've only really visited San Antonio)

Everyone drives a truck and everyone owns a gun.

EDIT: Oh, and everythigng runs off of (in a Hank Hill voice) propane and propane accessories.

You pass 30 "Whataburgers" in one town, or at least one a block. whichever's more. Starting at the moment you cross the border from Arkansas (but probably from every entrance point in the state).

Half decent?! We got the best in the world, I reckon!! Where in TX are you from?

Ok..a couple more:

You've actually been asked if you ride a horse to school.
When you've actually ridden a horse to school.
Where else is it legal to shoot anyone that comes onto your property?!

You've just out run a Tornado across the southern US (specificaly Meridian, Mississippi) to make it inside "Texan Parameters".
