Isn't that a good thing? It means you might have gained a few musicians who can play something besides the blues...



Texas gave the world ZZ top, Buddy Holly, so watch you mouth!

(Begins to wonder if it is possible to have the 175th Rangers and a couple of armored divisions pay a visit to whoremods without causing an international incident.)

I was forgetting Buddy Holly: mea culpa.
And I like ZZ Top: they're among those I was thinking of as blues musicians, along with the Winter brothers, T Bone Walker, Albert Collins, Son House, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Stevie Ray Vaugn and the like. Wasn't Freddie King born there before he moved to Chicago as well?

Nevertheless both fitting per your previous comment, and accurate in any case when I've worked with Canadians. It's a real thing.

This is confusing.

As per one of your prior posts predicting 19-0 for the Seattle Seahawks NFL team, I didn't realize there were such rabid Seahawks fans in Connecticut.


PS

Political/cultural geography isn't your Forte, is it?

Hint; "I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy" wasn't a tribute to Californians.

Misspelling is the least of the problem, here.

I'll get over it (I'm confident however, the rabid peeps that need to find fault in most things...will not).

By the way....Hawks: 4/0

I'm sure you will.

If you were looking for a quick answer to your OP, forget it.

As a guide; if you want 50 different opinions, ask 30 different Southerners.

If you want homogeneity of thought, other regions do that better.

It aint just above the Mason Dixon line, it is anyone from outside the territorial boundaries of Texas.

Louisiana was settled by French, a lot of them who got tired of frost bite in the French colony of Quebec, so, since many are descended from Cajuns from WAY up north, they gots another 30 or forty generations to lose the yankee in em.

Methinks you are forgetting a very large segment of Texans who originated in Germany. I believe the common Texan/ Midwest term for them is "Bohunks." To truly place the "Yankee" boundary you'd have to go south a bit to the Rio Grande. The word originally referred to all denizens of the rebellious colonies before the great republic of Texas was a gleam in any "Americans" eye. So we are all essentially "by borders" defined as Yankees.

Actually, Texas was settled by Germans, French, and Spanish.

The Germans settled down around Fredricksburg, the French picked the area around LaSalle, and the Spanish just found spots and set up missions, which then had to have walls since the everyone who came here had the bad habit of pissing off the Comanche, Lipan Apache, Caddo, and every other Native American tribe that lived here.

Of course, in the case of the Comanche and Lipan Apache, to piss them off you just had to look at them funny from 90 miles away, and they ready to lift scalps.

After Mexico got its independence from Spain, the president of the newly independent country invited some folks from the United States to settle in Texas, figuring to court good favor with the other new country on the block (not realizing that Americans by nature are ornery, independent minded and dont take to being told what to do or when to do it) which led to the new arrivals getting a bunch of the already here folks riled up to declare independence from Mexico.

We all know how that went, Col. William B. Travis and his volunteers persuaded Davy Crocket and his bunch of Tennessee boys to join them in a fortified mission down around San Antonio (with no back door evidently) to wait on a very pissed off Santa Anna.

Now, the John Wayne version of the story showed Crocket being one of the last fighters and throwing a torch into the powder magazine, actually Crocket and a few others were captured and executed after the fall (a diary of one of Santa Anna's officers confirmed this.)

That same journal also provided evidence that many of Santa Anna's officers tried hard to get Santa Anna to release Crocket and the others in order to show that he could be merciful and also to offset the bad blood caused by the massacre of Texans at Goliad.

That didnt happen, and well when the Mexican army caught up with Sam Houston at San Jacinto, Sam's boys were just as compassionate as the good Mexican president and general.

The good Mexican General was one of very few survivors of the Mexican army, and he was found hiding in a tree in his underwear. Terms were dictated and he was sent packing across the rio Grande.

Now as for the modern Texan claim to being the only true non-Yankees, it comes down to one simple fact.

Everyone else in the US takes good food invented in Texas and fucks it up seven ways from Sunday. Case in point, Chili.
Invented in the great state of Texas, made with no fucking beans and you morons go and put beans in it (okay, invented by Spanish colonists, but the original name for chili translated to chilis (the peppers) with meat. Not fucking beans.

Damn yankees think that barbecue means any thing you can put on a grill, WRONG, it is beef, not pork, and then you folks go nuts with sauce that leaves out the most important part, PEPPERS.

And speaking on food, a good steak does not need sauce, but damn if you folks pour all kinds of shit on a steak.

I beg to differ on the BBQ. Sure Texas BBQ is good. I spent 12 years living from Corpus to Houston and ate possibly four or five whole BBQ'd cows during that time. However, good ole Carolina style pork BBQ with vinegar and red pepper in my and millions of others opinion just slam beats the fuck out of those rangy Texas marsh cattle not just any day but every day of the week! I'm not saying Texans don't put up a good bowl of chili rightfully sans beans, nor is their beef bad. It just doesn't define world class BBQ but it'll do when there's nothing else available. As for the hodgepodge of Europeans who you also claim settled the Republic. It proves the point everyone North of the Rio Grande is just another damn Yankee. I do get "Texas Pride" though. It was wrested from the hands of several formidable former claimants of the land like the rest of America, hard fought and blood stained from the Valley to the West, up North through the panhandle and back down to the piney woods in the East. The BBQ? I'm not going to refuse a plate but it don't stack up to a good ole fashioned BBQ'd Carolina pig pickin with corn bread, Cole slaw, baked beans, potato salad, cold ice tea and a mason jar of clear Virginia homemade to settle it all down with.

Actually no. It was settled long before any whites showed up. The Germans, French, and Spanish did not "settle", they stole.

Actually most of the French who moved from Canada did so at the end of the French and Indian War
(7 years war in Europe) because they didn't want to live under British rule.

that dont matter, by living in Canada they were infected with the Damn Yankee gene!

Lets look at a couple of clear genetic inferiorities of Yankees.

Lambeau Field, Greenbay Wisconsin...
Who, aside from a Yankee would build an out door football stadium where the average high during football season is below FREEZING... WAY BELOW FREEZING
Yankees have no clue as to what constitutes a good breakfast, go into any restaurant up there and try to order grits.
Hell try to order sweet tea for that matter.
they are born with a distinct speech impediment, Yard for example has an 'r' in it so where the hell do they come up with 'yad?'

And they really have a nasty habit of not listening... to anyone or any thing.

Prime Example:

When I was but a young lad, I worked on a cattle ranch.
The owner hired this veterinarian who graduated top of his class but was unfortunately born WAY THE FUCK UP IN DAMN YANKEE land.

Now one morning, we were getting ready to head into some rough country, and would have to get there by horse back. Looking north you could see a nice big wall of clouds that resembled waves breaking, so all of use grabbed some heavy coats, except Mr. I graduated top of my class, who refused to take advice from us dumb country boys.

Now, it was a nice 65 degrees that morning, and he was wearing a shirt that was adequate for that temp....

By noon it was 32 degrees, we had freezing rain mixed with sleet, and he was freezing his know it all ass off.

A wonderful west Texas blue norther had moved in (known in other parts of the country as a Siberian express) and due to the proximity of the gulf, and its moisture, we knew it was going to be cold and wet in a couple of hours.
