You're from Texas if...........
1. You can properly pronounce Corsicana, Palestine, Decatur, Wichita
Falls, San Antonio, Mexia, Waco, and Amarillo.
2. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and
look for a funnel.
3. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on
the highway.
4. You know that the true value of a parking space is not determined
by the distance to the door, but by the availability of shade.
5. You measure distance in minutes.
6. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean.
7. You know cowpies are not made of beef.
8. Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding
date.
9. You aren't surprised to find movie rentals, ammunition, and bait
all in the same store.
10. You know everything goes better with Ranch.
Finally, you are 100% Texan if you have ever heard this conversation:
"You wanna coke?"
"Yeah."
"What kind?"
"Dr. Pepper."

Yes, yes you are.Originally Posted by 3Bean & POS
Born in Austin Hell yeah!! and heres some for some of you metromess guys. by the way, most of these happen to me on a regular basis
Your car stays filthy because of the dirt roads, and you will never own a dark vehicle for this reason.
The town next to you is considered "trashy" or "snooty" but is actually just like your town.
You refer to anyone with a house newer than 1980 as "rich" people.
Directions are given using "the" stop light as a reference
Even the ugly people enter beauty contests.
You decide to walk somewhere for exercise and 5 people pull over and ask if you need a ride.
Your teachers call you by your older siblings names.
Your teachers remember when they taught your parents.
It is normal to see an old man riding through town on a riding lawn mower
No social events can be scheduled when the school gym floor is being varnished.
A "Night on the Town" takes only 11 minutes.
You have to name six surrounding towns to explain to people where you're from.
There is no point in high-school reunions because everyone knows what everyone else is doing anyway.
Driving cars up and down the main drag is a universal high school experience.
You can name everyone you graduated with.
You know what 4-H is.
You ever went to parties at a pasture, barn, or in the middle of a dirt road.
It was cool to date someone from the neighboring town.
The whole school went to the same party after graduation.
You don't give directions by street names or references (turn by Nelson's house, go two blocks to the Anderson's turn left and it's four houses left of the football field).
You can't help but date a friend's ex-girlfriend

I'm a licensed gun collector and you wouldn't believe how stupid some of the laws are. Like this one: To legally own and carry a rifle/shotgun (over 18 in.) you only have to be 18 and no felony convictons, but if the rifle/shotgun is not loaded, it can be classified as a club, which is a prohibited weapon!Originally Posted by Mathews2004

Thanks for the link POS, now I can replace that sweet jacket we lost in '92.
Edit, maybe it was FFA?
Well,... I am from Vidalia, Louisiana...and in my hometown you don't lose your girlfriend you just lose a turn.
Here's a fun fact for the gun collector.
A convicted Felon (regardless if its from a bad check over $200. or a violent crime) not only loses the right to bear arms to protect themselves but also are prohibited from owning Body Armor. so even if you got a felony for a hot check or something like that you cant shoot someone who is shooting at you and cant protect yourself from being shot either,...go figure.
Criminals dont obide by the gun laws so who does it really hurt.

My buddy is pissed that his sister-in-law's wedding is the same weekend as the TX-OU game this year... and we're putting the over/under at 6 months before the new couple splits.8. Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding
date.
On the way up to OKC I spotted a double billboard... the top sign was for a liquor store ad and the bottom one said "Don't do meth."9. You aren't surprised to find movie rentals, ammunition, and bait
all in the same store.
Damn straight... especially pizza.10. You know everything goes better with Ranch.
