What do "y'all" think when you hear Texas?

I've been living here for a long time now and I had my own pre-conceived notions about "The South". I'm curious what you truly think when someone says they're from the Lone Star State or any other stigma bombarded areas. I've thought that I've heard it all..

I'll get a few things in the open: We have pavement. I don't ride a horse ..often. We don't all talk slow. "Aint" shouldn't be used in a serious manner. I rarely see anyone in a cowboy hat or boots. Southern hospitality is a real thing & a lot of things really are bigger in Texas ;)

Granted, I'm not a true native of this place (Originally New Jersey). I do love it.

I enjoy answering questions, so please, inquire!

And yes, some of the stereotypes are true ...shhhhh
 
I'm not from Texas, drove thru there back in the 80s, it was awesome!

When I think of Texas, Lightnin' Hopkins, Buddy Holly, ZZ-Top and Stevie Ray Vaughan come to mind.

In fact, I think I'll let Ray Wylie Hubbard take it from there:

slow talking, deep accents, red necks. sorry just the stereotypes
 
I think of hard working, conservative America. I think Texans in particular are some of the most independent minded people when it comes to politics. Four former presidents have come from Texas.

Oddly enough one of the best US Soccer teams come from Texas...the Houston Dynamo
 
Buggy lives there on cheap whiskey and peyote telling bad jokes. I gotta get down there and help him someday.

I enjoy the cheap whiskey, but the peyote Bug gets is garbage! I haven't vomited once from it. Maybe I need to hear some of those bad jokes.

Football.

Guns.

Churches.

More guns.

Nervous Mexicans (or "They took err jebs!", whichever one works for you)

Even more football.

More Churches.

Gay lynchings

and the Electric Chair (retards are bonus points)

...oh, and football. And Jesus. Actually, I think they're the same in Texas. Texas has it's own dictionaries, I'm sure.

I tend to think more in terms of geology. I hear texas and I think of a hot, dry climate with rocky terrain.
 
i'm pretty anti-red state generally, but i did a couple of summer stints in texas when i was in high school for music camp and i quite liked it.
 
I should say first that I've never visited Texas. But to answer your question, the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of Texas is that it is one of only three states that have 1) no state income tax, and 2) a warm climate (in at least some of the state).
 
Wow. You guys are so awesome. I just learned more about my state and I agree with just about everything that was said so far!

I didn't know the Houston Dynamos were so good!! I used to alway get tickets when I lived in Houston :/

Guns, beer, & football are accurate. lol The weather in south texas near the gulf is very hot. I love North Texas for it's breeze and lesser humidity.

I've also noticed all of our popularly-spoken attractions seem so western. (Rodeo, State-fair, Hunting) Maybe I'm a bad Texan, but where I live ...it's like if "Jersey shore" & "Dazed and confused" had a baby and people lived on that baby. So basically some wannabes mixed in with, for the most part, real people :) I haven't ever lived out in the country, so I haven't met Cletus, Billy bob, or Honeybooboo!

When I first moved here I got freaked out by people smiling for no reason. Then, I got pulled over and I couldn't find my insurance: The cop told me, "It's alright buddy, I trust you got it." Wtf? I was like, everyone here is so chill, where do they get their weed?

Then I should say, every now and then I actually forget this is Texas, and then I'll be in a walgreens overhearing someone that says "Hey can you put that up right quick?" Then I remember what's up. Texas Translation: Can you put that away now?

Ah, howdy-back now y'all.
 
Speaking of Texas, I'm actually scheduled to move down there within the next few months. I'll be switching from Washington's mild, wonderfully overcast weather, to hell on earth.

This is what I speculate will happen as soon as I step out of the car:

- Bitten by rattlesnake immediately.
- Dragged away by Desert Yeti.
- Tied up to a cactus.
- Hurricane-Tornado hybrid rips cactus out of ground; throws into hospital.
- Healed up for round two.
 
Somebody mentions Texas, I think of Foghorn Leghorn.

"I say, son...THAT ain't no chicken."

"Pay attention when I'm talkin to ya, son."

"Boy's about as sharp as a marble."

"Ya gotta be a magician to keep a boy's attention more'n two minutes now-a-days."

"Boy's muscle 'bout as soggy as a used teabag."

"That girl I say, that girl reminds me of the road from Dallas to Fort Worth. No curves."

"Boy's about as sharp as a bowling ball."
 
"That girl I say, that girl reminds me of the road from Dallas to Fort Worth. No curves."

Oh, man. That's golden.

I miss Foghorn Leghorn.
