Here, Mike. I tracked down your theme song for you.


Can't Sleep, Clowns Will Eat Me
Alice Cooper

Don't sing me lullabies
I won't close my eyes, I can't close my eyes
It's true, I'm doomed 'til dawn shines through
Got too many things to do
Got friends to see, I can't miss a thing
It's true, I'm through
I'm screwed, unglued

I won't close my eyes, I can't close my eyes, I never close my eyes
You see, they're always there with funny hair, Oh, I'm so scared

It happens to me every night
Can't sleep, the clowns will eat me
They always want to take a bite
Can't sleep, the clowns will eat me
And if you think this isn't real
I'll show you wounds that never heal
To them I'm just a happy meal
Can't sleep, the clowns will eat me

Make the coffee black as night
Help me through the night
I know their appetite for me
I'm meat but I'm sweet as can be
And if I do too much booze
I begin to snooze
I hear the big old floppy shoes
It's true, I'm stew, unchewed

I won't close my eyes, I can't close my eyes, I never close my eyes
See, they're always there with that funny hair, Oh, I'm so scared

It happens to me every night
Can't sleep, the clowns will eat me
They always want to take a bite
Can't sleep, the clowns will eat me
And if you think this isn't real
I'll show you wounds that never heal
To them I'm just a happy meal
Can't sleep, the clowns will eat me

It happens to me every night
Can't sleep, the clowns will eat me
They always want to take a bite
Can't sleep, the clowns will eat me
And if you think this isn't real
I'll show you wounds that never heal
To them I'm just a happy meal
Can't sleep, the clowns will eat me

Northern and southern demographics are very different in Texas. The south is heavily hispanic in a way the north (like Dallas) is not.

The real divide though is east and west Texas. East Texas (again, Dallas is a good example) is practically the good ol' south, while west Texas is more southwestern in culture.

You know, deleting that thread was shortsighted. Poly could make money by videoing the testicle slamming incident and charging for it.

Dunno where "Texas is wealthy" comes from. Bush may be wealthy, sure, but the state as a whole? Not really. Besides, though it hurts some to admit, the Bush family isn't really Texan. They're really from Connecticut.

Texas is our whacky conservatives with pride state, as California is our whacky liberals with tans state.

Jetlz, No.

My apartment is Texas of Finland. Why? Because I'm big, but my apartment is too small for me, plus others gives me trouble, I kick them in the mouth. My apartment takes no crap from no one. Plus it's located at the first floor, like Texas is down too. Plus, I'm always ready to take it on the whole building if they start messing with my sauna turns, as I have declared my apartment independent of their messing with the sauna turns. If it's my turn, it's me who goes. If others want to come too, they have to play nice or I'll twist their nuts in the knot.

quote: Originally posted by Whaleboy Cornwall. Or Manchester.

Manchester is a city: ergo, it is not England's Texas.

Had you spent any time in the ancient land of Kernow, you would know it is very much not England's Texas.

I stand by Yorkshire- they are the English equivalent of the Scots who paint their faces blue and mark it with the saltire every time they're just about to lose at football to the United Arab Emirates' Ladies team (reserves), and brag 'Wha's like us?'.

They have pockets of wealth and pockets of poverty (rural and inner city).

They have a loud obnoxious accent (see reruns of 'All Creatures Great and Small').

In former times they could bore Olympic style about how Yorkshire was the U.K.'s biggest county, the West Riding, the South Riding......zzzzz....zzzzzz....

They have people who believe that by virtue of being born there, they are god's gift to the human race- Geoff Boycott, William Hague.

They have a superabundance of self-satisfaction and smugness.

I second the nomination of Manchester - and all those people who don't live there, but support their footy team.

Of course City supporters are decent folk.

And Manchester City is of course a Manchester football team. So you consider Manchester's 'real' football team to be Manchester United then?

Texas= a state.

Manchester= a city.

Are these the criteria? If they are then I don't get that from the Queenslanders I know. I have never visited the state itself though.... In NZ this would be difficult to say. Parts of Auckland fit the bill, and their Mayor is pretty much an NZ version of Bush, except more articulate.
