Texas should have withdrawn from the union and made their own country like some of them tried to do a few years back. I think both countries would have been better off :P

We should have stayed our own country, then invaded the erst of the country, making it the united states of Texas.

I'm British but I've been to Texas a few times (we have an office in Houston). It's the only place I've ever been to that had huge billboards by the side of the road advertising vasectomies with a "money-back guarantee!" :D

The food outweighs any and all of its quirks though. Gimme barbeque!

No, California was never an independant nation like Texas. By gaining Texas as a state in 1845, the US had the base to launch the Mexican American War of 1846-1848 and take the rest of the western frontiers from Mexico.

And originally, Texas wuz even bigger!

quote: "Chuck Norris ordered a Big Mac at Burger King, and got one".

I tried similar once, when I ordered a burger in a Drive-in in Canada:

"Sir, this is "Dunkin' Donuts", they told me and I had to leave.

Chuck Norris would have roundhouse kicked them in the face.

I once walked into a Drive-in, screaming "Give me meeaaaat :hulk:".
They were scared and I got a burger, that was a start.

Thanks for the link, Dan, very funny stuff!

When an episode of Walker Texas Ranger was aired in France, the French surrendered to Chuck Norris just to be on the safe side.


The grass is always greener on the other side, unless Chuck Norris has been there. In that case the grass is most likely soaked in blood and tears.

Chuck Norris invented black. In fact, he invented the entire spectrum of visible light. Except pink. Tom Cruise invented pink.

In the beginning there was nothing...then Chuck Norris Roundhouse kicked that nothing in the face and said "Get a job". That is the story of the universe.

James Cameron wanted Chuck Norris to play the Terminator. However, upon reflection, he realized that would have turned his movie into a documentary, so he went with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Some people wear Superman pajamas. Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas.

Chuck Norris doesn't see dead people. He makes people dead.


Chuck Norris is the only person who can simultaneously hold and fire FIVE Uzis: One in each hand, one in each foot -- and the 5th one he roundhouse-kicks into the air, so that it sprays bullets.


Chuck Norris likes cherry chewing gum. He spits the used-up red wads to Jupiter, where they've been accumulating.


For undercover police work, Chuck pins his badge underneath his shirt, directly into his chest.


In the X-Men movies, none of the X-Men super-powers are done with special effects. Chuck Norris is the stuntman for every character.


We live in an expanding universe. All of it is trying to get away from Chuck Norris.

Am I the only one to notice that black is not on the light spectrum, nor is it light at all... ?

You better not let Chuck Norris hear you saying that :dead:

Not everyone that Chuck Norris is mad at gets killed. Some get away. They are called astronauts.

Naw see just like Vietnam there is a North and South New York ("Upstate" and "Downstate") Hillary is in charge of the South where everything is organized yet corrupt. Up in the North it just corrupt with no one in charge...

When President Bush “visited” Rochester he never actually set foot in the “City of Rochester” no doubt because the Secret Service couldn’t guaranty his security… despite the fact that he’s in a bullet proof limo protected by men with Uzi’s. Air Force One’s flight in must have been like a mission to downtown Hanoi. :D
