    LOL
    Never forge the ammo to kill infidels. Allah will be most displeased.

  2. lowly grunt says:

    Well, I guess we could just yell “bang!”

  3. froofrou says:

    *sigh* Shows how off I am. I read that caption the first time as “What do you mean you forgot the Alamo.”
    -
    Because, as we all know, you should NEVER forget the Alamo :o )

    • lowly grunt says:

      Oh, good! I’m glad I’m not the only one! I waited a moment and after the morning coffee kicked in, I saw where I had made my error.

      And I don’t even live in Texas.

      • eddiepscetti says:

        And be glad of that!

            • slanagat says:

              I’d have to work out the Great Circle route, but I expect Houston to most of Australia would be more west than south. :^P

              • eddiepscetti says:

                I would think it would be equidistant.

              • froofrou says:

                Considering I don’t live in Houston, and considering what a crappy town THAT is, you can fart on it all you want :o )

                • AtlasShrugged says:

                  How could you distinguish the smell from the refineries in Pasadena and Texas City ?

                  • rhorho says:

                    (I’m the one who used to live in Houston.) Where I lived, we could only smell Pasadena when the wind was blowing a certain way. Thankfully, the prevailing winds blew Pasadena fumes to the NE most of the time.

                    • froofrou says:

                      I love the fact that Houston looks like a big bullseye from the air. 610 and the Sam Houston Tollway, along with the new one, circle the city as if telling people ‘Drop Bomb Here, Please.”

                      • rhorho says:

                        zOMG! I used to fret to no end about that! I lived near the Sam Houston Tollway, so the resemblance was “an inconvenient truth,” indeed! The only comfort was that I lived on the west side. Most of the refineries are on the east, and NASA’s Mission Control is to the south.

                        Hey, sorry about the posting location, but I didn’t want this to get buried. I found the story about José Enrique de la Peña’s diary:
                        -
                        “The notorious passage, which claims that the mythic Davy Crockett was captured by Mexican soldiers and executed by order of General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna instead of dying in the glory of patriotic battle…”
                        -
                        The article (link) is long, but makes for a fun read.

                        • froofrou says:

                          People are freaking out about how Crockett died, but wouldn’t it stand to reason that the Mexican army would capture the bravest of the fighters to execute him on their terms, versus allowing him to die in a glorious battle?

                        • rhorho says:

                          Froo, are you sure the Mexican army would have known who was the most famous fighter there? Also, considering that the first casualty of war is the truth, it’s possible that the Mexicans would report a demoralizing version of the defeat. Considering how Santa Anna was captured after San Jacinto, you could consider it a preemptive strike. If the Mexican army wanted to demoralize the Texans, I would think they could have come up with a surrender story, and include William Travis and James Bowie (the back-up singers, if you will).
                          The diary appears authentic, but we will never know the truth of its contents.

                        • froofrou says:

                          I never said ‘most famous’. I said ‘bravest’. There is a difference :o ) If Crockett fought as bravely as all reports say he did, then he was a formidable foe and Santa Ana wouldn’t have been working against himself to execute Crockett in the most degrading way possible. He probably monologued too ;o)
                          -
                          And we don’t need demoralizing stories from the Mexicans about the defeat at the Alamo when we have Oliver Stone rewriting history for us *sigh*

                        • rhorho says:

                          I see your *sigh* and raise you one. Still, the John Wayne movie already contorted the story, so why not twist it another rotation. Good catch on bravery /= fame. I threw wide on that one, but I’ll clarify in a second. Having read the article on Santa Anna (full name: Antonio de Padua María Severino López de Santa Anna y Pérez de Lebrón) yesterday (link), I was convinced that he was an exboyfriend of mine. For that reason, the monologue would be imperative, if possible.
                          My question remains: What if Crockett died before the Mexicans could pontificate-torture-kill him? It would demoralize the Texans to hear that Crockett died crying, begging for mercy. Santa Anna wouldn’t know many names or faces, so, if he were making up the story, he would have to go with a name he knew. *That’s* why I used the word “fame.”

                        • froofrou says:

                          Did they say that the captives died begging for mercy? If not, it may have been conjecture after the fact that ‘oh yeah, that guy who killed so many of us was Davey Crockett. I’ll be damned!’
                          -
                          I’m just trying to justify the facts, hehe. Whether he was killed in the battle or after the battle is beside the point. Whether he lived for several years under an assumed name somewhere in Tennessee is beside the point. The fact remains that the defeat at the Alamo was the pivotal moment in the battle for TExas Independance, and led to the defeat of the Mexican Army as a whole.
                          -
                          I can just hear Santa Ana monologuing, though. He’d be stumping around pontification and waxing verbose……..blah blah blah *step thump step thump step thump* blah blah blah :o )

                        • rhorho says:

                          LMAO!! Or, on a muddy day:
                          *step-squish-slurp-swear, step-squish-slurp-swear, …*
                          -
                          The article made it sound as though it was a small entry in a 680-page handwritten diary, noting simply that Davey Crockett was captured and killed after the battle. I agree with your assessment about the point of the battle, of course. :o )

                        • rhorho says:

      • AC says:

        Ummm…. What is it?

        • Jane St.Clair says:

          Well, I’m not sure I’ll do justice to this explanation, so feel free to correct my mistakes froo and rho, but the Alamo is a fort in Texas. Several well known Americans, like Daniel Boone, we’re holed up there and held off the Mexican Army for several days before they were all killed. “Remember the Alamo” became sort of a rally cry for the rest of the war. Was it the Mexican American war? Is that what we call it? Took place in the 1800′s. I suppose I could Wiki this for you and get all the correct details, but I don’t have the time, I’m just checking PK real quick before we start a movie. ; )

          • rhorho says:

            Very good explanation. Daniel Boone wasn’t in the Alamo, but Davy Crockett was. Was that who you meant? Anyway, the importance of the Alamo was that roughly 200 men stalled 2000 members of Mexican General Santa Ana’s army long enough to buy General Sam Houston precious time. The Mexican American war came on the heels of U.S. annexation of Texas in 1845. The war lasted from 1846 to 1848. After the war ended Texas was a republic for a short while, then became a state, just in time for the American Civil War. (link)

            • Jane St.Clair says:

              Ah f*ck. Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, same diff, right?

                • froofrou says:

                  wasnt a fort. was a spanish mission. otherwise pretty close :0)

                  • Jane St.Clair says:

                    Fort, Spanish Mission, same diff, right? ; )

                    • rhorho says:

                      Right! :o )

                      (I checked: They can’t make me re-take the 7th Grade.)

                      • froofrou says:

                        P.S. There is evidence that Davey Crocket may have survived the Alamo. You know that history is written by the winners, and it was in the best interests of the Mexican Army (and Santa Ana, may God spit on his grave) for there to be no survivors of the fight. It’s pretty amazing that 100 men and a few women and children held off the entire force of a huge army for as long as they did.
                        -
                        They got their revenge at San Jacinto, though. Moral: Don’t Mess With Texas :o )

                        • rhorho says:

                          I’ve been to the Alamo many times. It’s amazing how absolutely tiny the space is. Envisioning those people (including a woman and baby, who were spared) all cramped into that teeny place, surrounded by enemies, is sobering.
                          My favorite piece of trivia about Santa Ana (swiped from Wiki): “A small band of Texan forces captured Santa Ana, dressed in a dragoon private’s uniform and hiding in a marsh, the day after the battle [of San Jacinto] on 22 April.”
                          This guy who called himself “The Victor of Tampico,” “The Savior of the Motherland,” and “The Napoleon of the West.”
                          IIRC, many of PK’s trolls light candles for him in troll church.

                        • eddiepscetti says:

                          Just a moral question for you (and I think this may have happend IRL), but what if you saw someone urinating on the Alamo. What would your reaction be?

                        • rhorho says:

                          re: Davy Crockett, I always thought those survival rumors to be similar to Elvis rumors. The clincher for me was the fact that, after all the dust settled, no one produced a letter from him or any other proof that he survived. The lady who survived wrote everything she could remember about the battle, and hers is the only known account. My memory is foggy, but I think the Davy Crockett rumor began when someone noticed that she didn’t describe his death.

                          “It’s pretty amazing that 100 men and a few women and children held off the entire force of a huge army for as long as they did.”
                          FTW! :o )

                        • rhorho says:

                          @Eds: I certainly wouldn’t appreciate it very much, but would only want the person to get the same punishment that he would for peeing in anywhere else in public. Pee doesn’t permanently mar anything, and nothing of that sort would work against what the Alamo means to Texas history. (That’s me speaking for myself, of course.)
                          Turning it around, Eds, what if you saw someone up in a tree, peeing on one of those cute koala bears?

                        • eddiepscetti says:

                          Well, I’d probably stand back and wait for the koala bear to maul his ass. Have you seen the claws on those things?!?! (actually I think they’re pretty docile, but it would still be fun to watch.)
                          -
                          My question was relative to how Texans view the Alamo. It’s not so much about the pee, but the fact that it is a national monument and does have some meaning to Texans in particular. Personally, I would take it as a personal insult and would probably want to kick their ass.

                        • rhorho says:

                          I’m weirder than most, so you might want to wait for froo’s opinion. I’m pretty laid back, so it wouldn’t piss me off, so to speak.
                          -
                          I got to see koalas really-really close at the San Diego Zoo. They stay stoned all the time, don’t they? They were a totally docile-looking bunch. I can’t imagine much in the way of sudden movement from any of them. Do koalas hang out (literally) where you live? Are they common like squirrels or rare like foxes?

                        • rhorho says:

                          Wiki to the rescue:
                          “Like wombats and sloths, the Koala has a very low metabolic rate for a mammal and rests motionless for about 16 to 18 hours a day, sleeping most of that time. Koalas that are disturbed are known to be violent, their teeth and claws capable of causing considerable injury to humans; special handling requirements are as such applicable.”

                          From The Dictionary of Texas Misinformation:

                          1:David Crockett, Jim Bowie, and William Travis did serve at
                          the Alamo.

                          e fighting against oppression, because Santa Anna was not
                          honoring the Mexican constitution of 1824.

                          3.De La Pena, a Mexican soldier who kept memoirs, says
                          that there were SEVEN SURVIVORS, one of whom was thought
                          ht to be Day Crockett.

                          @Rho: if peeing on the Alamo doesn’t bother you that much, what about peeing on the President’s leg? ;o)

                        • froofrou says:

                          @Rho re: Davey Crockett having no letters after the Alamo, they actually found some letters of his that were written several years after the battle at the Alamo. I’ll have to do research and find them, but there is anecdotal and a tiny amount of physical evidence that he survived.

                        • rhorho says:

                          @NARFNra: That third point of yours has picqued my interest. Could you point me to a reference, so I can do some more reading? (Evidently my “Texan Alamo Knowing Powahs need some work.)
                          @Eds: Froo’s reaction, coupled with further mulling, has gotten me into a ponder. I remember something about an OTT celebrity (along the lines of Ozzy) making a spectacle out of peeing on the Alamo, and doing it as some sort of statement. That’s a different situation in terms of my Alamo loving sensibilities than a guy just quietly seeking some relief in the bushes. No wonder you don’t want to leave that place! It sounds magical!!
                          @Froo: As for peeing on the president’s leg, I would have to say that it depends on which president. Peeing on Obama’s leg? Gitmo! Peeing on GWB’s leg? Redundant. It’s foggy, but I think the “Yellow Rose of Texas” was a famous call girl or madam. Am I close?

                        • froofrou says:

                          The Yellow Rose of Texas was a ‘mullato’ slave girl who belonged to Santa Ana, who managed to keep him occupied in his tent long enough for the Texans to attack. Hehehe. She’s gone down in history (literally and figurtively) without even knowing it!

                          @Slan: Your response gave me food for thought towards the Alamo question. Am I laid back about it *because* I know others will take action, saving me the trouble? Hmm.

                          I don’t think any of it should be tolerated, personally. Like I’ve said before, burn the American flag if you like, but kindly wrap yourself in it first. The same for peeing on national (or state) monuments, or graves dedicated to the fallen. Kindly lay down face up before you start peeing, and make sure you pee in an upward direction.

                          As far as those graves of people who did you wrong and you outlived……if you can manage a jig while you’re peeing, go for it!

          • PortlandMark says:

            The only correction I see is that the white people in the Alamo were not in fact Americans. They were self described “Texans”, and they believed they were fighting for the nation of Texas, not the state of Texas in the USA.

            I could easily be wrong, but that’s how I remember it.

            • froofrou says:

              You would be correct, Sir. Texas has always had that in its mythology that it has been held as almost a separate country by most of its residents. There are a lot of urban legends and old wives tales and a LOT of patriotism that goes along with the state. There are still a lot of secessionists in the state, but they don’t seem to be as militant about it as people portray them.
              -
              Stephen F. Austin described himself as a Texan as opposed to an American, and was very vocal about it.

              • eddiepscetti says:

                And look where THAT got him. His name now graces the name of the capitol city.

              • slanagat says:

                There are times when I think it would be terribly amusing to let every state that has a secessionist movement see for a while how it fares without the rest of the country. Since most of them are net tax consumers, my inclination is to say nt very well at all.

                • froofrou says:

                  I think that Texas would be a good candidate for secession only because of the port of Houston and a bunch of other things that would help it remain self-sufficient. However, I think the time of secession has LONG past, and the states just need to get on board with the rest of the country. I do feel bad for Hawaii though…..they were purely a tactical aquisition.

                  • rhorho says:

                    Three things:
                    1. There was a protocol glitch in the process by which Texas became a state, and its statehood status has been argued in the past. To this day, there is a fringe group pressing the issue, but they haven’t been given much consideration, overall.
                    2. Assuming the above technicality doesn’t pan out, there is a great debate over whether the right to secede is built into the terms of statehood in the Texas Constitution, which was approved by the U.S.
                    3. According to one source I’ve found, if Texas were its own nation/republic, it would be #12 in the world. (The States would probably want NASA back, tho.)

                    • froofrou says:

                      It actually IS built into the Texas Constitution that we can seceed, but that right is considered null and void after Texas essentially became conquered territory after the Civil War. We still retain the right to break into up to 5 separate states if we so choose in order to get more representation in the Federal government, but I’m not sure if we can then choose to reform.
                      -
                      I think Texas would do just fine on its own, but like I said, I think the time for secession is past.
                      -
                      As far as statehood, aren’t Kentucky and Missouri still Commonwealths? Those aren’t states. Seems like there are three or four commonwealths still in the Union.

                      • Jane St.Clair says:

                        Virginia is a commonwealth too, although I’m not sure what the difference is besides just the different name.

                        • froofrou says:

                          It has something to do with ratification of statehood, I think. I grew up in Kentucky, and I remember my dad pointing out that technically we didn’t live in a state. He got a cheap thrill out of it, I think.

                        • Jane St.Clair says:

                          For all intents and purposes though, I’m not sure it makes a difference in how the “commonwealth” is treated by the federal government and vice versa. Perhaps I should go Wiki this, my curiosity has been roused.

                        • froofrou says:

                          There is no difference as far as the federal stuff is concerned. Let me know what you find in Wiki though! I’m piqued as well!

                        • Not a whole lot more than I already knew. I’ve linked the page but it didn’t say much. I THINK it’s just a slight difference in they way the state’s (or commonwealth’s) government is run. More than likely it was more significant early on in our country when we valued states’ rights over the government’s. Since the Civil War a lot of that has become obsolete.

                          I got sick of the drive during my college years. When you live in the sticks of East Texas, Nac is the only cultural center within 100 miles (scary, I know), so I got burnt out :o )

              • rhorho says:

                According to some historians, Stephen F. Austin, The Father of Texas, was likely gay. (Not that it’s a bad thing, just going for irony here.) He never married or had children, at any rate. His father, Moses Austin, actually led pilgrims to Texas, but he died shortly after they began settling in the Nacogdoches area.

                • froofrou says:

                  Now, while I don’t have a problem with SFA being gay, why is it that every unmarried man in history is automatically branded that way? Could it be that he was married to something he thought was greater, i.e. the liberation of Texas? Could it be that he hadn’t found the right woman and decided not to ruin his life by marrying the wrong one? Could it be that he HAD a childhood sweetheart who died or was otherwise taken away from him, and it ruined him for women after that? Why do they automatically have to be gay?

                  • rhorho says:

                    There were letters to men over the years, and a lot of debate over language usage for his day. According to linguistic historians, word choices in his various letters had teh gay written all over them, reflecting prose in contemporary heterosexual (I assume) love letters.
                    My main point is the irony of the Father of Texas moniker.
