Are there any others on this board living in Alabama? I'm in Montgomery and call mostly Dixie Fastpitch.

What part of Texas is that in???

I have to beat Gary-Joel-Don and some of the others to
that question.

<font color = blue>Welcome to the board alabamabluezebra.</font>

Reminds me of a Joke......
 

There was an Alabama cotton farmer who had come to West Texas to get some ideas from a well known Texas Farmer on getting more production from his farm.........

Upon arrival.........the Texan asked the Alabama farmer how big his spread was.............

The Alabama farmer replied........."Pretty big........I have 2900 acres".......

The Texan puffed up and asked the Alabaman to step out onto his porch............

He pointed to the North.........as bragged........."I can get into my pick-up.......and drive all day.....and never reach the end of my property........."

He pointed to the South........and repeated his brag.......as well as to the East and West.........

The Alabaman...........replied in his best Southern Drawl........."I fell your pain Bubba.........I used to have a pick-up truck like that"..............:D

BTW Welcome aboard..........we know how to laugh at ourselves in Texas..................grin

Joel

Mike.........

At least I did not reply to him with my favorite Bama quote (by one of my MOST favorite authors)

Ala-damn-bama........

Louis Grizzard (may he rest in peace).......

And if you choose Tx........you get to not only live in the finest damn State in the country..........you get to live in the same place as me, glen, Don, and Ntx (and probably a few others I missed)...........grin

Joel

On a side not.........I have visited just about every State in the Union.......and I LOVE the NE part of the US......as well as the NW......and Midwest........and just about every where else.......

I have yet to find a part of the US that I didn't like........BUT..........When I looked hard enough........I could find it in Tx...........:D

There was a west Texas mountain lion who was just about starving to death. Another mountain lion, sleek and well fed, comes along and sees the pathetic beast. He says, "How come y'all are all skin 'n' bones? There's mor'n enough Texas cowboys 'round these parts for 25 lions."

The starving lion says, "I don't understand it. I eat 2 cowboys a day."

The sleek lion says, "Next time y'all are fixin' to hunt, I'll go along. Maybe I can see what you're doing wrong."

So, they go out together and perch on some rocks above the trail. Before long, a cowboy rides by on his horse.

The starving lion let out a huge "RRROOOOAAARRRR"...
He jumps down off the rocks, hits the cowboy hard and knocks him off his horse, and eats him.

The sleek lion says, "Well, I see what y'all are doing wrong. Ya gotta remember, these here are Texas cowboys. First your big roar scares the crap out of 'im, and then when you knock 'im off his horse you pound all the wind out of him. After that, there ain't nothing left."

So I guess the answer is No?
 

Is this Texas area y'all mentioned in the United States or Mexico?

I certainly hope that I make a couple in that area. Hey good luck
with the Blast. Not sure wish team it will be that you will
be facing. They have two 18's....I am sure your team will
be facing same problem that Blast will. Have several girls
still in playoffs. Both their pitchers are. Bobbitt from
Vidor and the Collins gal from Splendora. Surely with your
DD playing AFA we will connect.

Being a former Yankee, now a "naturalized" Texan, I believe most real Texans think of their state as a separate country!


Joel, you are right ... most Texans are the first to make a joke out of the "Texas thing".

Re: So I guess the answer is No?
 

Don't know....which way is the Rio Grande running today?

I used to live in Texas in the '80's. Houston is hot, humid and flat. Nice folks though, I never could get over the shotguns and confederate flags in the pickups.

Any one know Mike Atwood from Katy? If you do say hi from Rachel ( we used to teach together )

Texas Coyotes
 

As I understand it....
When trapping coyotes, you can tell a Texas coyote from all the other Coyotes in the U.S.
They're are the ones that have chewed off at least one leg and they're still caught in the trap...
Now I can't personally testify to that, but with all the Texans on this board maybe one of ya can shed some light on this claim.... Well ok maybe it will take two of you....

Road Kill
 

H*ll by the time we finish our <b>Buds</b> and run the traps
the California Eagles {buzzards} have picked em clean.
What is left we package up and send to California and sell
as road kill. :D

glen

I hear tell that there are two kinds of people in this world. Texans....and those that want to be!

Scott

Wake up, Scott. Not even in one of your dreams.

:)

BTW, I have umpired a NC in Mobile and I must say, I have not been treated better any place else.

TEXAS
 

Alright MIKE you need to come to Plano TX this Sept for the Men's National D and all of Texans here on the board will change your mind


Don

At Last
 

Don,
Glad you finally decided to jump in and help us fellow
Hexan's out..We were getting out numbered there for awhile.
You must have really been busy...How is the FP going?

glen

FELLOW TEXANS and the rest of you
 

Sorry about being slow about coming in to protect the ones here that live in the great state of TEXAS you have to realize there are some out there that have not had the chance to live in the state that has the best country fried chicken and tacos all under one roof. We have to learn to be tolerate of the ones that have not had this opportunity. Also be careful what you say about road-kill here it can make one hell of Gumbo of you kill it here you better know how to eat it. (LOL)

Anyway back to softball world the FP is coming around a little slow but getting there I have been doing league play for about the last month. One day a week. SP ball has kept me real buzy though trying to catch up with all the rain-outs I have been on the fields the last 12 of 13 days before today which I finally got a day off!!

I have enjoyed what work I have done in the FP and hope to devote a little more time coming up working some tournaments after Mothers day weekend. Coaches in league play are a hoot was doing a pre-game the other week in which I said "Coaches make sure your runners know how that saftey bag at 1st works that we want to avoid any collisions" Coach replied "Yeah, Blue how does it work I have no idea". My reply "Coach you probably need to read that rule book they supplied you with". Anyway I knew I wouldnt be getting any problems from this coach since she had no CLUE!!


Have a good week guys

Don

Re: TEXAS
 

You know, Don, the way that they treat you in North Richland Hills ain't too shabby either!

Scott

Re: TEXAS
 

Thanks, but I don't believe there will be any NCs for me as my agenda is a bit different this year. If I get anything, it will probably be in Montgomery, AL in the fall.

BTW, I guarantee you that you will be hard-pressed to outdo Mobile, AL or for that matter, Lakeland, FL. But thanks for thinking of me.
