Cheap land. Barbecue. Pecan groves. Cows. Cowboys. Best Mexican food without going to Mexico. Oil. The Alamo. Texas State Fair. Camping. Congress Avenue Bridge in Austin has millions of bats that fly around every night and bats are cool. The Dr. Pepper Museum. THE ALAMO.

It still counts as Texas, dammit.

East Texas is the best place to live though. Avoid the cities and avoid the border. East Texas is peaceful and sparsely populated but the people are nice, the land is cheap, and there are discoveries around every corner because Texas is enormous.

We started selling sugar coke in glass bottles ever since Mexico coke started to catch on and be popular. People were importing it, so the market answered, and now some stores keep it in stock.

South Texas = Northern Mexico

West Texas= Eastern New Mexico

Panhandle= Southern Colorado

North Texas= Southern Oklahoma

East Texas = Western Louisiana

And Austin is our San Francisco.

"Real Texas" is that triangle between San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston. Pretty much where King of the Hill is set.

Everybody imagines South/West Texas though.

I haven't had your pizza, but I know it sucks and its nothing compared to real the real real pizza you find here".

It creates some strange "us vs them" going on when you hear people around you say that you have the best something, eventually you start taking pride in it whether its true or not, you start parroting the statement. Its gotta be better, because its us, and we're the best.

Had to look it up. School never mentioned it so never heard of it before now. I went to one of those schools that did not even mention the Civil Rights movement in the 60s since it "promotes disobedience". I guess the Alamo gut cut from the lesson plan for a similar reason.

>>86333457
Alamo is accompanied with the phrase "Remember the Alamo", because you can't forget it, its like 9/11 for Texans for some time. The final stand of some great figures and heroes, as they were surrounded by the Mexicans, but they held out until the last man. It was an impossible victory, and of course they lost. However the memory of their loss was enough to cause others to rally, to take revenge for them and grab Texas independence.

They were able to beat a strong empire of that age and establish themselves due to the Alamo.

Davey Crockett and all the others, they all died there though.

>>86333521
Interesting shit. How the hell am I 22 and no one has ever mentioned this stuff to me? Why are US schools so horrible and leave out so much neat shit?

Always wondered what made the Mexican food more authentic elsewhere when the kitchen in this restaurant is filled with authentic Mexicans.

>>86333610
That entire era is basically relegated to being told through Westerns. Most people probably figure that's good enough.

>>86333315
Only if you're talking fast food and you haven't eaten real food in years except for what your grandma cooked because your mom never made more than mac and cheese.

What new york doesn't realize is every city has their own pizza trends and styles they also like to boast about, but only new york actually believes is.

I happen to like the St. Louis thin crust with gross looking but tasty provel cheese that I get at home, and I like chicago deep dish pizza, but with all their bragging I still don't even know what new york does that makes theirs so special because I haven't been there.

I wonder if new york is just fooling themselves.

>>86331958
>I just don't understand why he moved to a lower income working class neighborhood if he was supposed to be making so much money, and hated rednecks so much.

He was probably lead on by Ted and the other members of Nine Rivers that he could move in to some rich community very easily and live the high life but could only afford to live where he is now and just considered it a temporary set back until he hit the Jackpot or saved up enough money.

>>86333878
LA? That's your only point of reference for what a good american burger tastes like? Where the fuck do you get burgers that you think Japan can cook them better?

What is so magical about that burger in kyoto?

And more importantly, what kind of horribly cliche of an American tourist visits another country and orders American food?

>>86333263
There is a small kernel of truth to what NY has being "the true pizza" in that pizza was invented there. So assuming the recipe did not change over the last century or so you could say NY is "The original pizza". But saying that every other kind of pizza is not actually pizza just because it's made differently is some dumb shit.

Plus it's just food, nothing to get worked up over.

>>86333968
Not just that, for something like burgers you can find some of the best at some small hole in the wall in a city in the southeast, or a bbq in a small town in the midwest. They're like those stories where someone walks into a store they never remember seeing and buys something that turns out to be magical and when they come back the next day the store is gone as if it were never there.

Except with burgers.

>>86333978
I get that the japanese have wagyu and the real stuff is a high art, but bring that shit over here and it is no contest at the highest end.

>>86334024
It was invented in Italy. Whatever New York "invented" was just a variation of that. Saying they invented pizza is like saying Lutherans invented Christianity. They only made their own variant and other people saw their example and followed suit.

>>86333610
Because America Had SO MUCH SHIT GOING ON AT THE TIME! The Alamo, Civil War. Mexican American War, Louisiana purchase, Trail of Tears, and more happened with in the span of 20 years thats a lot to cover so most states focus on state relevant stuff


New Mexico had and has the best history though.

Same reason Americans hate doing the pledge despite living in America

>>86334135
if you want to go back even further there is evidence that Roman Soldiers loaded up stall flat bread with Rind cheese, olives and olive oil, and made pizza on the battlefield.

>>86334135
it's just more new york boasting. It might have gotten popular in America because of Italians who moved to new york, and it might have first been Americanized there, but that's about all the claim they have.

And these days every country in the world has their own pizzas and their own preference for toppings. Some have the strangest shit to us, but it's the 'regular' for them. Yet it's all still pizza.

From that perspective New York is just behind the times.

>>86333978
>Implying I'm american
Went to go visit for e3. Tried In n out since that's what everyone told me to try, pretty mediocre theirs fries tasted terrible. Also went to a place named Hawkins better than In n out but not as good as Grand burger in kyoto.

This. There was so much going on that schools usually just focus on what was relevant to their region. Some might get a tidbit about the Alamo, but most learn it from pop culture. Only in Texas is it important enough to really be prominent.

It's mentioned a lot in pop culture so it's still surprising he never heard of it.

>>86333969
Hahaha, SUPER BASED!

>>86334187
Fast food is called fast 'food', not 'good' food. A place named for walking in and out fast is going to be fast food.

So yeah, by fast food standards they might be ok, but dang it bobby, a good burger is not going to be fast.

McDonalds is better in most foreign countries though

Mexican food in Mexico is shitty just like most fast food in america is shitty because the food of the common people doesn't have a lot of quality put into it, but when you're selling exotic foods to foreigners (your food being exotic in this case) you put effort into it so you can charge them more

Jesus christ this.

I don't understand it, I grow up in a third world shithole associating McDonalds with, like, actual meat and lettuce and tomatoes between two actual pieces of bread, and then I go to America for college, and I get the exact same kind of McChicken sandwich, and somehow they've substituted the chicken with a disc covered in pepper, and they just put a thin slice of green to pass off as lettuce, and they SMEAR it in mayonnaise between two pieces of brick.

What the fuck is that. What the fuck. What the fuck is that.

No one actually hates Texas. You can't hate Texas. You're just upset you're not from Texas and pretend to hate it because you're not Texan but live there - and you love every damn second of it; you see, there are two types of people, those that are born in Texas and those that are born out of it. Texas loves the people its birthing hips gave life to, a kind of love you only find by being Texan - this counts even if you're born out of Texas as long as your parents never forgot that Texan love, you're as Texan as they come, friend. Now, people keep saying that they're not part of the land, but that's not true. Texas loves its babies. It loves its fine titties Houston and Dallas and give you a slam dunk of a time in San Antonio.

But Khan isn't Texan. As much as he says doesn't want it, that he would rather spit on his wife than admit he wants to go to town like a spiritual Oedipus to its Jocasta.

That's Khan's problem. He loves Texas. He loves it so much - but he knows that despite fucking his lawn with that Cambodian-descended pencil dick of his, it'll always look to the truebred Texan man like its true son and the big-tittied, tight-pussied Texan women as the finest its daughters can be. Khan will always that guy who got off that boat and longed to leap into the fine tits of Momma Texas's bosom.

But he knows she'll never love him as much as a bar-hopping, gut-dropping, cackle-cauling, Texan steer.

>I just don't understand why he moved to a lower income working class neighborhood if he was supposed to be making so much money, and hated rednecks so much.

He doesn't make that much money. That's why he's so resentful and pissed off all the time. He's not happy with his lot in life and thinks he should be rich.

I thought Detroit style was robbing the delivery man?

He's another pompous carpetbagger who can't admit just how unlivably shitty Democrat-run states eventually become without admitting the inherent failure of liberalism.

>no state tax

>low crime rates (outside Democrat-run major cities)

All the Mexifornia license plates throughout our state are indicative of our effective policy making.

Yeah, no. Southern New Mexico has the best. We also have our trump card, Hatch Green Chili.

I think Northwest Ohio is practically Mexican food capital of the midwest. There's a reason Taco Bell uses Toledo as its testing grounds for new products

It's annoying, but there's a certain truth to it. Most of the Mexican food you find in Texas is actually Tex-Mex. Whether it's better is a matter of opinion (I happen to think it is), but it's true that it's not "real" Mexican food.

I didn't get the joke behind Ted's voice until I moved to Houston and ended up meeting several Asian dudes who talk just like him. Apparently they sound like that because they're trying really hard to remove their natural accents and Americanize themselves and put on this exaggerated attempt at an American accent.

This. He's after that rich lifestyle but it's out of his reach, so he's trying his best to live the life of a rich, pompous ass without actually having the wealth. That's why he's obsessed with Nine Rivers, getting in means he's made it to this elite caste that he feels he deserves to be a part of. He's eternally frustrated that he can't climb that ladder and takes out on other people who are at his economic level but are satisfied with where they are. He's desperate to find any reason to make himself feel superior to these people because he's desperate to BE superior to them.

To be fair that was WAY before the Nazis and it's even older than that.
Hitler really ruined so many things simply by using them. It's a wonder we can even drive Volkswagons anymore,

True, but it's still cultish as hell. The hand over the heart is a much less bizarre gesture, even if the entire pledge still has an air of fascism to it.

At least Hugo Boss seemed to have gotten out of it unscathed. Well, the company anyway, Boss himself wasn't so lucky.

Ain't nothing wrong with trying to instill a little patriotism into kids.
However all they managed to do was cause utter disinterest in the pledge itself since it's just associated with going through the motions when you're half sleepy and about to have a long boring day.

It also doesn't help that kids aren't actually given an explanation for what they're pledging. In the early grades, most kids just know that they're words that are supposed to be repeated but are never given any context. That's how stuff like "Richard Stands" happens.

Just to make you even worse: I'm not even American and I've known about the Alamo since before I was 10. Not because of school though, I just was into Davey Crockett.
