    Witnesses heard someone yell "Liar, liar, pants on fire!" Probably a domestic dispute of some kind or perhaps a victim of a rival state fair's mascott...

    Big Tex still had more fun at the State Fair than Mac Brown.

    Maybe he just wanted to get in on the "Burning Man" hoopla. Who's headed down to dance around like hippies and eat pot brownies?

    Can you imagine the politcal BS that will go on forever over the replacement? First it will be a race issue, then they will over-engineer a replacement that will cost too much money and never work right.

    ...then they'll have to sell the naming rights, etc etc etc. Before you know it, the State Fair will be hosted by "Dr Pepper Big Tex at Fair Park brought to you by Minyards, Viagra, and Earl Campbell's Hot Links"...




    ...and he'll be wearing a FUBU sweater.

    From an eye-witness...

    "At first I couldn't believe it, I mean, we were wondering why he was smoking because we all know Big Tex does not smoke," said Jenneth Hickman, who runs a stand near Big Tex Circle. "So we were wondering why he was smoking for."

    "Howdy Folks!, I would rather set myself on fire than do this s&%t job one more freakin year"

    I never could understand why people even go to the state fair, imo its a huge waste of a ton of money...and now to watch the people on the news channels respond as if this "thing" is a person...haha!
