My Dad just e-mailed a list of things that measure if one is “100% Texan”.

I found these amongst the more amusing, especially #27:

1. You can properly pronounce Corsicana, Palestine, Decatur, Wichita Falls, San Antonio, Mexia, Waco, Amarillo, and Waxahachie.

[Ed.: and you know you are from Austin if you know how to properly pronouce Buda, Manchaca, Mueller, Pflugerville and Buchanan)]

2. You think that people who complain about the wind in their states are just sissies.

3. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.

5. You’ve ever had to switch from “heat” to “A/C” in the same day.

6 . 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.

27. Finally, you are 100% Texan if you have ever heard this
conversation:

“You wanna coke?”
“Yeah.”
“What kind?”
“Dr. Pepper.”

Indeed.

And, of course, the following could easily apply to Alabama as well:

17. Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their
wedding date.

      Not that I am 100% texan but I can sympathize. Particularly with the wind thing! Sheesh, I have had to shift my grill two to three times while grilling! By the way, my wedding was the week after the SEC Championship game!

    2. Mark Says:

      No way I am getting married on the day of the Iron Bowl!

    3. Jan Says:

      Numbers 5 and 27 are also applicable in Alabama. And #6 is often an issue in the Smith Hall Parking lot when a faculty member with a shady space retires.
