Shake the Juice?

[JW50]

Of course we do. We all ride our horses to the nearest oil well and hang out drinking Lone Star beer together.

Thank god you didn't burst my bubble. I had trepidation when first mentioned. I just knew they knew each other. I have a friend from Texas. I think his name is Will. Might be Bill. Please say hello for me.

 

[JW50]

Yes
.....

Is the grant approved?

I put mine in an old sock (clean) and let it rumble in the clothes dryer a bit. Mixes it up real good.

Magic Fingers.

Well, I don't know about that, but if you're a real Texan ...

1. You measure distance in minutes.
2. You've had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
3. Stores don't have bags; they have sacks.
4. Stores don't have shopping carts; they have buggies.
5. You use "fix" as a verb. Example: I’m fixin' to go to the store.
6. You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.
7. You know all four seasons: Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer, and Christmas.
8. You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good chili weather.
9. A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola, or pop ... it's a Coke, regardless of brand or flavor.

Thanks for very important info. Well, I am not a real Texan. I am even not an unreal Texan, too. I come from Poland, and as everyone knows it is a part of Soviet Union, we speak Russian and polar bears are the most popular animals walking freely here.

BTW - I hope no-one was offended by my remarks about Texas. I am not politically correct at all. I come from Poland, you know... But in case someone was offended - sorry...

Hey Bubba. How y'all doin'? JW sez to tell ya' howdy.
That should do it. All men in Texas are Bubba, so Bill or Will or whoever is bound to hear.

Unknown, Captain. Thought you were the money man ...

Get outa here! There's really only two ways to offend a Texan: criticize Tex-Mex food or say you don't care whether the Aggies or the Longhorns win the big game. Just .... don't ... go there. (I'll have mercy on you since you're from Poland and may not know about the Aggies vs the Longhorns: Texas A&M Aggies Football – The Rivalry with Texas.)

Tex-Mex food is something I'd love to try - I mean the original version, 'cos "Mex-Tex-Polish variation" is the food I prepare sometimes. No calories count, cholesterol level... it must be hot and spicy and eaten with tortillas. Chilli con carne, queso... yummy. Jeez, I feel quite hungry!
As for Aggies vs Longhorns... well - football is not very popular here, unless we speak of European version of football, ie soccer. But I can understand the rivalry of two teams, as we have some similar rivalries here, but not so... well... colorful.
So - to sum up - I hope my version of Tex-Mex dishes wouldn't offend a real Texan.

 

[Rar]

I love Tex-Mex food AND Polish food. My mother was Polish and I grew up with lots of yummy Polish dishes. My favorite Polish dishes are pierogies and golumpkis - though I have never made either (too much work)

Guilty as charged. My wife is from Odessa, has the full Texas drawl, and uses "fixin'" more than I care. I was born in Fort Worth, but she's got me beat.

Quick question - I know the style of food is Tex-Mex, but I don't call it that. Do you refer to it as Tex-Mex, or just Mexican? Like using the word Coke for every type of soft drink, I just call the food Mexican.

If I'm talking to a Texan, I say Mexican food. They know what I mean, as long as I'm not in Brownsville or someplace like that close to the border.

But if I'm talking to a non-Texan, I'll say Tex-Mex. Real Mexican food uses goat cheese, and doesn't have things like burritos -- those were a Tex-Mex derivative.

 

[ThreePutt]

I think I know what I'm having for lunch...

 

[countrygirl1291]

Good choice! My husband could eat Mexican food 5 times a week, I think.

I'm confused. Thought you guys were at the oil well.

Well, oil... ahh, I know - they use oil while preparing that Mexican food. That's why we're confused.

Do you think we might win a prize for the longest-running stupid thread ever?

 

[Old Chemist]

I bet we might - what's the prize, BTW?

 

[nosmok]

One bottle for freshly shaken juice.

 

[Old Chemist]

Tex-Mex flavor?

 

[440BB]

I just realized we may have made a grave error. Nowhere in this thread is it stipulated that shaking should ONLY occur while the cap is on. There may be a significant number of loyal readers of this thread who are now cleaning their walls, cars and "special places" as they tried to steep with the cap off and then shook.

Those who twisted were at least able to shout when the inevitable occurred...

 

[Old Chemist]

Maybe that's the reason why some people from this thread are now so silent...
