King-Of-The-Hill MemoQuery for Texans
Glenn A Tanner
I used to think it was in north Texas until the "six hour drive to Wichita
Falls" line in tonight's show.
Tonight's show also threw a curve by having the WF guy say that Arlen is
"south Texas." Anyone who grew up north of Dallas actually thinks "south
Texas" begins at Waxahachie.
Several shows have had Hank driving to Dallas, as if Dallas is more
accessible to Arlen than Houston. (Of course, why would anyone want to
go to Houston?)
Previous shows have also included day drives to Padre Island and Mexico.
The scenery is fairly non-descript.
Arlen is a "pig-processing" town, but I can't think of any town in Texas
infamous for that.
No one shows any favoritism to Bovines or Aggees. The Cowboys are
favored, but even before the Oilers moved, half the city of Houston would
probably list the Cowboys as their favorite team.
Based on all this information, I'm ready to nominate the town of Rockdale
as the real-life Arlen.

People in San Antonio try to convince me they are South Texas. My response
is South Central maybe. To me Central Texas begins around Pleasanton and
Poteet area. North Texas begins on the other side of Waco south of
Hillsboro.

A baseball game with UH? I went Tuesday night and got my once-every-three-
year reminder of why I will never live in the Houston area.

6 hrs to DFW? I don't watch the show, but based on the above, I'd be
thinking Abilene, Sweetwater or San Angelo area.

I don't know, but the part where Hank visits the propane dealer in Wichita
Falls, and the redneck store clerk tells him off, about how podunk a
pig-town like Arlen is compared to Wichita Falls, because in Wichita Falls
you're 5 minutes away from Oklahoma (capping it with a GO SOONERS), and Hank
covers his sons ears....
We'll, that's a sure-fire sign of a anti-Okie bias there.
Kinda like the South Park episode where CU-grads Stone and Parker have
Cartman visit his family in Nebraska.

Also, I put in "Arlen, TX" into mapquest, and I got back a big red star a
little to the north of Brady, TX, out west of Lampasas.
Mike Judge used to live in Killeen for a while, so.....

On a related note, I've had to explain to several people here that SWT is

Abilene is way too close to WF. Sweetwater and San Angelo are probably
too far from the coast. Plus, there are few (any?) references to oil.
But now that I think about it, didn't Peggy once drive to Lubbock to get

I think that's just the geographic center of the state. When I put
"Arlen, TX" into maps.yahoo.com, it returns with "the city could not be
found, but here is the state," and a picture of Texas with a red star
right in the middle of it. When you zoom in, you're just north of Brady.

There isn't actually an Arlen, TX there, though.
What Mapquest gave you was a star in the geographical center of
Texas, because it could find Texas, but it couldn't find a town called
"Arlen" in Texas.
If you do a search for "Brady, TX", then move north from there, you
won't see an Arlen. And if you try to map driving directions from Arlen to
somewhere else, it will tell you that it can't find Arlen.
So the mystery continues...

Glenn- That's a foolish thing to say, don't you think? How/why wouldn't they?
Houston is the next largest city after Chicago. Or is that what you're talking
about, the size? If so, Dallas isn't much smaller.

Houston is the fourth largest city because of ethnic cleansing. In the 1950s
and 60s most of the stupid Texans were rounded up and herded into SE Texas.
Other states soon followed suit, including their stupidest drivers.
The space center is there because they needed something to throw the rest of
the world off.
It's Hell (TM). How else could you explain the existence of the Rice AND
Houston football programs?
Dylan Wilbanks. Dallas is where Houston sent their arsehole drivers.

southwest Texas = Del Rio, Eagle Pass, Carrizo Springs and Uvalde

Well, I thought of how far 6 hrs worth of driving is and you can go 400-500
miles depending on your driving...or in other words almost half way across
the state. How about Belton-Killeen area, Lampasas, or Brownwood.

There are more Cajuns in Houston than in Louisiana. But it's probably just

This is what I said. Mike Judge came up with Beavis and Butthead while
living in Killeen. Mr Anderson on Beavis & Butthead = Hank Hill on KOTH.
My guess is Arlen is one of those small farm communities east of Temple that
you drive past on your way to College Station.

Stinky czar-bait, at that. Everyone knows that Dallas is far more
suburban and sterile than the vital urban center which is Fort Worth.

I went to Dallas for a week back in 1986 and I stayed
at some nice hotel downtown and about two blocks away was
a newstand and I was going to walk to it one night and the
hotel doorman warned me not to walk the Dallas streets at
night. So I didn't and later I hitched a ride to the newstand
and it was full of sleazy porno. The Czar showed me around
Ft. Worth a few years ago. It was okay. Angelos wasn't too
bad.

Can some of you guys tell us all about those cool high school
math & science contests again? Man, those were the days.

One day I'll get around to posting the reasons why Houston >>
Austin. Until then, I'll throw out a topical tidbit:
ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLING:
Houston ISD: rated "acceptable" by TEA
Austin ISD: first school district in the nation to be indicted for
rigging achievement test scores
Look for Kay Psencik to become the next director of compliance
for UT-Austin athletics - a perfect fit....

In the spring of 1971, my high school math team entered
the Math Contest at Samford University in Birmingham, AL.
We came in 3rd in our division. Not bad. We didn't
attend the awards ceremony or anything. I was a junior
in high school.
The next spring, I was a senior, my math grades weren't
too good and my band had a gig about 90 miles away the
night before the annual Math Contest at Samford. My
teacher was kind of pissed with me because I wasn't doing
well in class (lack-o-study syndrome) and she was furious
that I was gigging the night before the contest. She
tested the likely candidates, trying to find the best
ones and I was one of the top three. Against her better
judgement, she let back on the math team.
The night before the contest I drove with my idiot
bandmates to a noname bar somewhere between Opelika
and Hurtsboro Alabama. Remember Bob's Country Bunker
in the first Blues Brother film? Well, this place
was nowhere near that nice. In between sets I actually
pulled out a math book and did some useless cramming.
After the gig I drove home and got about 3 hours sleep.
The math team and teacher met early and left for
Birmingham. I remember hearing Van Morrion's Blue
Money and Domino on the radio that morning. Happy,
inspiring music. Oh yeah, my father was in a Birmingham
hospital recuperating from kidney surgery so I drove a
car by myself so I could visit him later.
We got to Samford and eventually we took the test.
Jeez. 100 multiple choice questions. 1 point for a
correct answer, .25 points off for a wrong answer,
0 points for a blank answer. This was a hard test.
DIFFICULT. I sucked. We all met afterwards and we
all agreed we sucked. Hell everybody from every team
was saying the same thing. It was a collective
suck-a-thon. We didn't know it at the time, but the
organizers had decided to make the test harder that
year because they thought the previous year's test was
too easy.
Anyway, there were some oral questions and I got one
right (it was a speed thing) and one of my classmates
did too.
So our teacher asked us if we wanted to bother staying
for the awards ceremony. We KNEW we'd blown it, but
since I was going to stay in town to see Dad, I said
I would go so we all went. The ceremony was in a
basketball gym, similar to my high school's only about
twice as big. Wooden bleachers. I sat on the top row
with a pal. A teacher from some unknown school told
us we were talking too loud and if we didn't shut up
he'd get us thrown out. He was probably right, we
were yammering.
Anyway, during the awards presentation for our division,
our school came in first place. Total bleeping shock.
Total surprise. I was barely paying attention. We all
ran down those wooden steps:
<BLAM><BLAM><BLAM><BLAM><BLAM><BLAM><BLAM><BLAM><BLAM>
And all tried to grab the trophy at the same time. I'm
sure we all looked like a bunch of wild savages, which in
fact we were.
Then I went to see Dad in the hospital. He was doing
great.
That was a good day out of a great time for me. I had
a limitless future and I was on top of the world.
Now I'm stuck behind a computer in the basement of a
computer room, twice divorced, 15 pounds overweight,
broke as hell, still gigging a few times a month,
still have my hair (though it's falling out). Although
I got a degree in Math 19 years ago, I don't remember
99% of it.
Ah hell, it could be worse, I could be an Aggie fan.

I once entered a math contest at TWU when I was in the 8th grade. We got
the whole day off from school because there was actually a whole series of
contests. Me and my friends entered only one of the contests, which was
early in the morning. The bus dropped us off at 8:30am and the driver
told us he'd be back at 3:30pm. Our contest was over by 10:00. We spent
about an hour dropping stuff off the TWU towers. Then we walked over to
the Mr. Gatti's and ate pizza like all the high school kids did. We got
one of them to buy us some beer, and since we were only 14, it was pretty
easy to get buzzed. We spent the rest of the afternoon playing video
games, and barely made it back to catch the 3:30 bus.
I have no idea how I did in the contest, but I probably should have
entered them more often.

Second: When NFL Network is lookin' to produce a short for their website to demonstrate how intrinsic the game of football is to Texas culture, and they ask the author of a recently-published book about the twelve most dominant high school football programs in the history of the state for advice, and he tells them YOURS is the team and community best qualified to represent said culture, then we'll talk. ;^)
