I thought that was Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris' dominance ends at the shoreline.

Chuck Norris' dominance ends at the shoreline.

That's what he wants you to think. He wants you to feel safe and secure and when your guard is down he'll rock you like a hurricane.

Just what we need- a 60 year old in spandex walking in synch with the beat

So he never learned to swim

What are you talking about...he walks on water!

De-rail accomplished. *Dusts off hands and walks off into the sunset.*

He was killed by Bruce Lee.

True story.

 

[Carcharodon]

He was killed by Bruce Lee.

True story.

My friend was telling me about them sparring in real life. Norris' ace-in-the-hole was his sneaky reverse-punch, and he'd get lots of people with it.

Bruce Lee caught it...with his hand. Stopped it dead.

Lee = Win.

I wonder if Rick Perry plans on using the Confederate flag after he becomes President of Texas.

 

[SuBe]

:facepalm

Why would he use the Conferderate Flag?

 

[Franklin Richards]

Well. Everyone who defends the South in the Civil War always talk about how it wasn't about slavery it was about States Rights.

I can see why he'd bring it up, but Texas already has a flag that represented us when we were a country so...

 

[SuBe]

That's what I'm saying. You guys are "more proud" of your Republic of Texas Flag then both the American Flag and the Conferate Flag.

As a Texan, I won't deny your assertion. t:

I am proud of the fact that they can fly at the same height.....

But, I'm all American.

Rick Perry is getting ready for his run against Kay Baily H. I can assure you, that is all this is........

 

[BlackLantern]

Isn't Texas a state now simply because the US didn't want Mexico to have it?? wasn't there initial request for annexation denied by the US?

Thus "more proud" in quotations.

Texas was it's own Country, it's own Republic. It is the only state in the Union to join by Treaty. It has a unique position.

Damn right we have a unique position. Best state in the Union, even though I will admit our governor is a hypocritical tool.

Thanks for the clarification

Yes, the government of Texas wanted to be annexed. My ancestors DID NOT......
