Texas Looter Squad

A disgusted loved one in Texas sent this, which is making the rounds of email forwards down South with the caption "Why Texas Had Few Looters." Uh, I think Texas had few looters because it had Rita and not Katrina. These suburban wankers would last about two minutes in a real gunfight.

That photo is sooooo Texas. The details tell a lot: the shoddy, ill-fitting sign, the enormous beer guts on everyone over the age of 21, the flip-flops, the two SUVs parked in the front of the driveway, and the 12 pack of Miller Lite. Jesus Christ am I glad I left that place.

Seriously though, I think a lot of these suburban males have a Rambo fantasy and that the Republicans use this to great effect during election cycles. Witness the popularity of paintball, "Walker, Texas Ranger," and Dubya's "War on Terra" within this demographic. From what I've seen, people in suburban Texas worry as much if not more about terrorism (or looting now, I guess) as those of us who live in cities, as if Osama is going to fly a plane into a Wal-Mart Supercenter in Plano, TX. Raised in these deprived, sterile suburban enclaves on a steady diet of starchy snacks, corn syrup and action movies, they develop rich fantasy lives in which they get to battle terrorists just like Bruce Willis or Chuck Norris. It's really pathetic. I always wonder what their wives must think...

I think it was the wives circulating the email...

Their wives are probably real fat, and they also probably wonder why they married such repressed, closeted, self-hating homosexuals.

"dude you need to get out of texas too. it fucks up your braims after a while."

Believe me, I know!!!!!!!
I am planning on moving within 12 months to an Undisclosed NorthWestern Location... not that I expect things to be "better" there, just hopefully less hot (102 + here in Dallas for the last 3 days!).

My dad stayed in Houston to protect his house from looters. Yeah, a 67 year-old man with fading vision, bad knees, shakey hands, and a sidearm. That would have worked out.

My elderly mother is going to Houston on Saturday. Mark, could you warn your dad not to shoot the dear old hen, she doesn't understand the distinction between break & entry and antique hunting.

I'd be more impressed if that was a spent case o' Lone Star...

And, well, the suburbs suck no matter what state you're in, don't they?
