“I’m thinking, of course, of Texas.”
Wednesday, December 16th, 2009A favorite year-end tradition: The list of unanswered questions sent to Slate‘s “Explainer” feature.
My favorites:
• How many human female eggs would it take to make an omelette?
• Please give me dimensions for a wooden box for a body whose ashes weigh 6 lbs.
• In our culture when dealing with babies and little kids it’s always funny to put something on your head as a pretend hat. Is this the case in every culture? What about where they always wear turbans?
• I have a little goatee. Why do people in Arab countries—I’ve not noticed this in Paris or L.A., for example—insist on touching my beard, then taking the same hand and kissing their fingers in a sort of “Italian, it’s delicious!” gesture? When I ask, they just laugh. This has happened to me literally dozens of times.
Houston, we have a solution.
I like:

mostly for the line “i have girls lined up and ready to go” and
No one knows you as well as your sibling whom you are closest to. Michael Jackson had many siblings. Which one was he closest to? That sibling is the one to listen to.
entirely for the line “That sibling is the one to listen to.”
Well, madam, I’d suggest you wear longer shorts when visiting the middle east.
“I have always thought yawning is contagious—you see someone yawn and you find yourself yawning. I’ve read articles that confirm this is true. So when I had my first child and was desperate to get him to go to sleep, I would yawn while he was looking at me in hopes of making him yawn, realize how tired he was, and go to sleep. Instead, he would just stare at me. He was immune to my yawning. With my second child, I notice the same thing. But now my first boy is three-and-a-half and he will yawn when I yawn. So when does yawning become contagious?”
Don’t tell me, let me guess – an argument supporting birth control –or- an argument supporting the legalization of drugs…
As a Texan, leaving doesn’t sound that bad. We’ve got all the tanks, all of the tank killing helicopters (a nice combination), and plenty of excess electricity, natural gas and telecom infrastructure to sell to the rest of you rubes.
Texas pays in more in taxes than we receive in federal benefits anyways, and that’s from the numbers before the rest of the country’s economy went down faster than ours. So, have fun filling the giant hole in your military, energy grid, home heating, telecom, and taxes when we are gone.
And we have about the only DA in the country who’s actually trying to let the innocent people in jail out. Nice example the rest of the country is setting, though. Texas has Craig Watkins, and the rest of you chumps get Sheriff Arapiao and AG Buchanan.
How will you kill terrorists in other lands if you leave?
I applaud the election of Watkins as the Dallas DA and his proactive approach to rectifying wrongful convictions in that one county. Harris county (Houston) also elected a new DA. I have yet to see any signs of increased cooperation with the innocence project of Texas from our new DA.
Gov. Goodhair is sticking to his story on his record of questionable executions. Despite having politically manhandled a committee charged with investigating an execution, his chances for reelection are still good.
On the brighter and lighter side, last week Houston actually elected an openly gay homosexual to the office of Mayor. Dude, when God hears about that, She’s really gonna be pissed off.
The mayoral runoff election between two democrats caused the republican fundies to crawl out of the woodwork in numbers, including radio station owner and state Senator Dan Patrick, who did not hesitate to give air time to a politically connected fear mongering irrational right wing nut job that equated electing a gay mayor with supporting NAMBLA, and gay marriage to having sex with ducks.
If I didn’t like living in Texas, I’d secede from the state. But there is much work still to be done in terms of liberty and restrained government here.
number 8, On the brighter and lighter side, last week Houston actually elected an openly gay homosexual to the office of Mayor.
Does that mean they elected a Happy homosexual?
6 lbs of ashes? That was one big mama.
How will you kill terrorists in other lands if you leave?
With giant fucking guns, which the rest of you animals won’t have anymore either, without Texas to keep California and New York from running all over you.

I may not wear a Stetson, but I’m willing to bet son, that I’m as big a Texan as your are, but really son knock it off. No one wants to hear that roadhouse drunk talk.
I sent a question in years ago that didn’t get answered. I wanted to know what made Ann Coulter a constitutional law expert. I know from expereince that merely graduating from law school does not make you an expert in anything.
