Actually, the Frog has been in every issue of Gen X so far. There's a
turtle that appears in most of them as well. And a lady bug.
Say.. if someone has more free time than me (which is hard to do) could
you post a brief description of the frog and turtle in every issue?

Are you *high*?! I'm stuck in Houston right now, which is probably what
Dante had in mind while writing the Inferno. It's certainly hot enough
here to be hell. The only nice thing about Texas is that it allows you
to truly appreciate being anywhere else but here.
Now, by a true stroke of brilliance, this state has passed a concealed
handgun law. As a liberal yankee, I'm feeling *quite* safe. As far as
I'm concerned, that law is going to pave the way for Texan genocide.
Couple that law with the fact that people in Texas drive like near-
sighted bats outta hell without any corrective lenses, and you've got
warfare on your hands.
The people in Texas are generally nicer than other areas of the country,
but seeing as I'm from the Chicago area and have rudeness down to an
art form, it's not much fun for me. And sure, we have the Houston
Rockets, we're "clutch city" and heading for another championship
series, but I'm a Bulls fan. O madness! Is there no safe haven for
me? Am I doomed to this misery? Will the caped crusader and Robin
get out of this dastardly trap alive?
Oh, sorry, got carried away there. Heh.

Well, Vod, that's what you get for going to a hellhole like Houston.
But taking the attributes of Houston and using them to describe what
life is like in Dallas, well, not not even your own flock of Disiples
can dig you out of *that* cardinal sin :-).

Well, I don't want to go too far into politics (after all, such
things *never* happen here :-), but as I recall, Florida passed a
similar bill a couple years ago. Crime has gone down by some
insignifigant amount, and accidental shootings have gone up by a
similar insignifigant number. So it probably won't do anything at
all (unless you happen to be a tourist or something :-).

At least WE have a better basketball team (and last year's NBA title, to
boot!). I don't see Dallas in the playoffs... :)

I'm glad we are not entirely Texas (Houston) bashing here. I too
reside in Houston (along with those other med center mutants).
Guess Vod is no longer working for the comic store that shall remain
nameless (but its a 'legend' in this town is it not?). And like
the Vodkinator, I lived in Chi town for a while (though I'm from
another northern state that shall remain nameless). I can jive with
the gripes about the heat (although everywhere is air conditioned).
The drivers? Hell yes! Turn signal technology has not yet reached
the average Texan. The don't have a clue what that little arm
sticking out of the steering wheel does.
But all in all, this ain't a bad place to live. I have incorporated
the proper use of "y'all" into my lexicon. We do have a world champion
(soon to repeat) basketball team. And what better place to be a fan
of the X-titles. I mean we got the X right in the middle:
TeXas
EGM
Keeper of the flame of the cotton candy in "The X-Men at the Texas
State Fair"
And just how many Super Bowl trophies do the Oilers have? Geez, you
couldn't even keep Warren Moon...
For that matter, let's compare pro hockey teams. Oh, wait, Houston
doesn't even *rate* a hockey team, does it? :-)
Well, that's what Houston gets for being built on a marsh :-). You
want arid plains, try just about any part of Texas east of El Paso
and West of Austin.
: And why pray tell should anyone carry a gun in their purse?
Because it's inconvenient to keep it in ones hand all the time...
: How much
: snow does Texas get again?
Which part? Amarillo gets quite a bit.
As for Colorado, well, always remember that a pretty good chunk of
Colorado was once a part of Texas. One of these days, we might take it
back :-).
Nooo way, Spend a WEEK up here and you'll be crying to go home like our
exchange students.

Damn shame, too. He was a pretty good QB. I did see him on television
at several of the Rockets Playoff games, which just shows you how proud he
is of his home town 'cause it's the best city in Texas. :)

You know, that sounds like a line that could've come straight from that
dorky spectacled guy from _Bachelor Party_ (I think his name was Gary or
something).

Texas doesn't get snow. It gets the odd ice storm (although Oklahoma
gets more of them). As a long time Colorado winter driver (hell, I grew
up there) I can say without reservation that all Texans should have their
vehicles revolked at the foothills.
Then again, I used to care around stickers with those red circle and slash
markings overlaid on a Texas state outline and stick them on lift poles
at the ski areas. So.

Well, I'll rephrase. People in the midwest are some of the nicest people
you'll ever meet. This includes Texas. Why? Because there's nothing
to DO in the midwest. Not a bloody thing. It's flat. Nothing around but
flat. Nada. There's an old, old poster with 'SKI IOWA': a skier going
down the side of a grain elevator.
So, to keep from going completely nutso (those that aren't already), the
people have to be some of the nicest in the world. (And you get places
like Minneapolis, where I would actually consider living just to be
close to Steven Brust and Emma Bull.)
Colorado's tricky. Eastern Coloradoans aren't much different from, say,
folks who live in Western Kansas. They're nice folks, all in all, if
a little odd. It's when you get to the interesting parts of the state
that you start getting the nutcases, the rude folks, and the true crazies.
I love my state. Where else would you have somewhere like Boulder Colorado,
which most local folks think is a Fount of Communism second only to
Berkeley be home to more than anyone's share of White Aryan Resistance
types? But hey, the weather's *great*. (I want to go BACK!)

It was probably formes shortly after the big earthquake shook things up.
What earthquake? The one that put waterfalls on the Mississippi, of
course :-).
Hopefully, the city of Versailles (which in Kentucky, is pronounced
ver-sales. Honest!) got destroyed in the cataclysm :-).

No, it's _the_ shit. I've heard it used that way by two different people,

Now that's not true Jane. I'm sure Kentucky has many fine, upstanding
qualities that will endear it to me. And I'm sure, eventually, I may
