'Big Tex' destroyed by fire

Anyone seen Neal around lately? :hmm2:

Quote:

Big Tex, a 52ft (16m) tall cowboy who watched over the Texas State Fair for 60 years, has been destroyed by a fire.
The flames quickly engulfed Big Tex's structure, leaving behind little more than a charred metal frame.

Obama did it. :rotfl2:

That statue was always pretty creepy looking. Hopefully the replacement is less spooky.

It will be rebuilt better than ever with ultra hi-tech spying apparatus able to spot illegal immigrants crossing the border, likeness of Bush, and internet hot-spot. :O:

Looks like the drought is getting serious.

Actually, what we've witnessed is a secret false flag op by Texan special forces. This will be used as a cassus belli to declare war on Washington and secede.

From what I have heard I would say that feds in D.C. will be jumping in joy if that is true. :O:
