Poorest, least educated, state. Last in almost every catagory. The only export they had was Clinton, and they arent as proud of that anymore.
The only thing the Rasorbacks are good for are beating up the Bears and the Cougars. But the Southwest confrence is no longer, so that dosn't count for them either.
Well it could have been Oklahoma. Then I'd say that was worse 😉
"Why dosent Texas float into the gulf and become it's own country?
Because Oklahoma sucks!"
Bad Texan joke. 😈
when I was in Arkansas they were the fourth poorest state, Clinton turned this around and by the time he was elected president Arkansas had 20 states below them when it came to economics. They also climbed in every other catagory. Texans always seem to brag a lot even abroad so JR are kind of a prototype Texan, not because we watched Dallas over here, but because they acted just like him.. To be fair though they lightened up alot over here(Texans) so now they seems almost like an average American(US) 😄
That sounds about right Ark. did pull it up a bit. I dont have any #s available.
Also about the JR thing. Yes there was alot of 'new' money floating around Texas after the oil and real estate booms (then busts) and they made alot of would be trailer trash rich so they would fly all over with their big hair and shark skin boots and probbaly make a specticle of themselves.
But most the Texans I know from the bigger cities have gotten far away from the 'goat roper' urban cowboy stuff. In fact most dont even have an accent to set them apart from where they are from.
Your fellow texans in the cities are hard working people, thereby losing their southern accents interacting in city living in a more international atmosphere.
New money or sudden money from the oil fields tend to make some folks act strange, especially when they decide to spend all that money in the cities.
Once you get out of the cities into the country, it's normal country farm land with critters, etc, since they don't have the benefit of oil dollars/oil riches to disrupt their lives and cause them to act wierd.

Ok you want the full story? here we go.
I have as you probably are fully aware been in the past an absoulte tart. This was particularly after the accident that I was in and the consequences. This in itself has some interesting stories and damn I learnt a lot. However following on last year I finnally decided that I wanted to settle down and maybe stick with just one nice girl see how it went. Marriage wasnt initially on my mind but having gone through a transfer period from a girl called Gabi I went with Rebecca who proposed to me. At the time I agreed on the basis that I wouldn't get married till after university and years work so that I could a) afford it and b) make sure that it would work out. After a few months though she changed and I discovered that she wasnt the girl I loved. My friends and family didnt like her she became aggressive and overtly flirtatious used all my money and she was bad in.. well you know.
Anyway at this point I then went through a transitional period where at a party I met Petra a nice CHristian girl but she wanted a lot too soon which meant that whilst drunk at another party I had a night or two or few with Jude. She had to leave Hull to go and work in London so that came to an end. IN the same society regreting my actions in comfort I met Emma, which again wasnt what I had in mind, but clearly she did.
For a week I stayed alone whilst perhaps being partially flirtatious. Then LEslie happened she is a girl who also had a fiance' but who was a poor performer with little to show and who fired before the pistol. So we had an interesting arrangement.
Afterwhich the party happened. THis was confusing as this led to troubles. THere were three girls Taz Nikki and Charlie. At the beginning I'd met Charlie the night before at a night club and Andreas had said that she would like to go out with me so I thought OK so before lunch time I GOt it on though nothing to heavy. She had to go to work though. AFter lunch TAz had to go home and I had had a bit to drink so when escorting her to the door, she launched upon me and took my number and in fairness I did not stop her. As the party went on I had a time with Nikki before she went home and Charlie returned. All three are friends, which a) I disnt realise and b) had never planned on messing around on. THey all knew about this and didnt blame me or each other but. Nikki liked someone else as well so she stayed out but then for a week I came into a conflict between TAz and CHarlie whilst trying to do as best I could for both. EVentually telling both I wouldnt see either andI would see what I thought In September.
Finnally 3 weeks before holidays I went to Bennie's party. SHe is a lovely French girl and I ended up spending the night then the next and so on and ended up being a couple again. THe only problem with this is a combination of distance and uncertainty as to what happens next. Bennie is a little afraid as apparently she has never felt the way she does for me before and so its all OK at the mo...
But none the less as such its now been a month since I've been to a party never mind a good one...ANy questions?
