submitted by themoosehead: I moved to NYC a couple years ago and listed out all the things I missed about home into the shape of Texas.

After people reached out to me asking me if I could make one for their state, I started a Kickstarter project to visit and talk to different locals about why they call their state “home.”

It’d be great if y’all could check it out here: http://kck.st/YWzd8f

Bikinis, Texas: Businessman Buys Bankersmith, Texas, Renames After Brand

Bikinis, Texas: Businessman Buys Bankersmith, Texas, Renames After Brand:

huffingtonpost:

Doug Guller, Founder and CEO of ATX Brands, has announced plans to purchase the former ghost town of Bankersmith, Texas and rename it something (hopefully) much more appealing to the average tourist: Bikinis.

The town’s new moniker comes from Guller’s chain of Texas “breastaurants” with the same name. Guller purchased Bankersmith through Craiglist, and hopes to start throwing events in the town, located near Amarillo, by fall, according to a press release.

The town was first established in 1913, when the San Antonio, Fredericksburg and Northern Railroad laid tracks between Fredericksburg and Comfort. Though the town was never all that big, the population was reportedly hovering around the 20 person mark between 1949 and 1961, according to the town’s website.

Of the newly unincorporated town, Guller said in a press release: “Bikinis, TX will be a world class destination and I am thrilled to expand the Bikinis brand to include town ownership. There can’t be a better way to put Bikinis on the map…Literally.”

Just what the world needed.

Kay Bailey is too feisty for such a cold sign off as ‘best wishes.’ I call fraud.

Jaybirds are used as the default analogy. They can apply to anything.

Formula:

“[Pronoun] [gradable adjective] than a jaybird…!”

As in:

“It’s hotter than a jaybird in here!”

bobbyfinger:

I’ve found myself having to explain what Big Red is to some coworkers who aren’t familiar, and it’s surprisingly difficult. So far all I can say is, “Well it’s available everywhere in Texas and it’s red and it’s disgusting and just thinking about it is making me feel a little ill.”

Someone is wrong on the internet!!!!
