Who wants to be on Survivor Texas ? - 02-04-2009, 04:55 PM


Survivor - Texas Style

Due to the popularity of the Survivor shows, Texas is planning to do a season series entitled, 'Survivor-Texas Style.'

The contestants will all start in Dallas, then drive to Waco, Austin, San Antonio, over to Houston and down to Brownsville .

They will then proceed up to Del Rio, El Paso, Midland, Odessa, Lubbock, and Amarillo.

From there they will go on to Abilene, Fort Worth, and finally back to Dallas.

Each will be driving a pink Volvo with bumper stickers that reads:
'I'm Gay, I Love the Dixie Chicks, Boycott Beef, OBAMA 08, George Strait Sucks, I'm here to confiscate your gun.'

The first one to make it back to Dallas alive wins.

I think my fellow Texans are not such morons as this failed attempt at humor implies.

I'm just tired of Texas being sterotyped as the land of crude rednecks. We have world class museums, opera companies, universities, symphonies, libraries, writers, artists and more. We are not a land of hicks who have straight lines for family trees.

I thought it was funny.

Is it stereotypical? Sure...but stereo types more often then not come from some form of truth and generalization.

With that said,

I guess it's all relative to what part of Texas you are in...

Guess you are then ready to share some of your African-American sterotypical jokes with us?

Are you ready to stop assuming things?

I love this joke... crack up every time I see it.


But hey... I'm the only person in my family whose house didn't come with removable wheels... so maybe it's just my culture... or lack thereof. I'm okay with it though. I am who I am.
