1. And I admit I live in Austin, Texas
Texas,
Noun.
A place generally inhabited by mean spirited anachronistic nitwits.
See: purgatory.

this from a 5th generation texan. But TRAVIS Co. went blue. ! ! !

2. I think he should change his name to A AIndependentTexan
so he can be at the beginning of the "A" list in the user profiles.

8. Other: I couldn't care less
Edited on Wed Nov-17-04 02:28 PM by parasim
I never could understand why people get uptight about screen names.

I mean, it's like, Hey, Zaphod! There's only 3 e's in Beeblebrox!... really... who could possibly care?

Whenever I saw AIndependentTexan's name, I thought it had something to do with artificial intelligence... (ain't that silly of me?) but honestly never thought about it beyond that...


on edit: doh! better fix that typo before I get pounced on... : )

16. Perhaps you're referring to another ZB...?
This is the only Beeblebrox that I'm aware of:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/hitchhikers/guide/zaphod.shtml

but I'm sure you were just egging me on to see if I'd make the effort to defend my spelling...

I'm usually so drunk that I don't know what I'm doing. Or saying.
