Redneck central?

I don't think I would call Texans redneck. My definition of redneck tends to involve people in Missouri (of course that may just be because that's where I live).

Yea, there are lots of rednecks in Missouri. I go camping every year so I can attest to that. Actually, weve coined a better term for them...Carnies.

Acutally, there are pretty much rednecks everywhere.

Yeah, I've met rednecks from Montana and Wyoming, from Bakersfield California and from Juneau Alaska. They're everywhere :D

I hear the worst of the worst reside in Alabama and Mississippi.

Illinois is pretty redneck free. We just have Bears fans. We're like rednecks, except we grill burgers and brots instead of roadkill, and we worship Ditka.

DimHalo 04-16-2006 06:53 PM

Re: Moving to Austin, TX this fall
 
I'd have to say that is worse than being a redneck.

Acebot44 04-16-2006 07:28 PM

Re: Moving to Austin, TX this fall
 
I second that notion

Re: Moving to Austin, TX this fall
 
the difference between texan rednecks and all others is that texans have guns (legally), and therfore are THE rednecks :p

Btw how do you feel about moving away from your friends?
Must be fairly hard for you.

Austin is a pretty neat town. It has a great music scene and it is more "urban" than you'd think it would be. Hot as hell, though. Bring lots of deoderant.

Blacklotus21 04-17-2006 01:34 PM

Re: Moving to Austin, TX this fall
 
Austin, isn't redneckish. You go out to west Tx then you get the more colorful residents. There's a lot to see here and it's got a high hippy population. ugh! dang hippies. Here's a few links that'll help you get to know your new town. Hope you like it. :)
Oh BTW, if you like sports,there's the champion UT Longhorn football team, Dallas Stars (previous champs), San Antonio Spurs(continuing champs), UT Baseball team(champs), UT Basketball team( women better than the men), the Houston Astros (almost champs),no one acknowledges the Texas Rangers because they've sucked forever, and last but not least your hometown---Round Rock Express Minor League baseball team. A cheap but totally fun sports event here in town.

A chance to meet Crash, how interesting. :D

Austin is in no way redneck. In fact, Austin barely belongs in Texas.

Austin was voted one of the best places for dating.

Austin in one of the fasted growing cities in the technology industry.

Austin is the only region in TX that votes democrat.

The comment about deodorant is correct. We are overflowing with hippies here.

So neo, where is a good place to look for a place to live. I can't end up in the freaking ghetto, or too far away from the cool stuff. Since I'll be graduated college by then, thing shall be pretty interesting. I 'll have time to do stuff. I hear there is no shortage of things to do is austin.

John, maybe i can con you into helping me with my mjolnir armor project. And possibly work together to get GT back where it was. Hey, it can happen.

Dyne 04-17-2006 06:43 PM

Well everything east of I-35 is ghetto, so don't live there. The nicest places are in the hills to the west, but it would take a while to get to campus with traffic. There are some decent places near campus but they're mainly older buildings.

Found out where we're going.

Nice area. Kinda close to where I live. That grey building on the far right center is a Best Buy.

Re: Moving to Austin, TX this fall
 
Well then you have choices, because there's a compusa a couple stores down, and a circuit city further down and perpendicular.

Maybe we camp together.

We are going to need pictures of this event.

Two grown men camping together in order to buy a Wii.

And what would happen if Crash or Neo got the last Wii over the other. Would there be bloodshed?

I'm not sharing a tent with you, :retard:.

Unless of course, a free Wii would be involved.... :hump:

Haha, uh...... :spr:

Looks like you've got some nice digs there.

Re: Moving to Austin, TX this fall
 
Well, I'm here... it's freaking too hot for my mountain self. But, it is a lot better than I imagined it to be though.

You're right neo, there are mini-malls for days here.

Neo 08-28-2006 02:35 PM

Re: Moving to Austin, TX this fall
 
Welcome to sunny Austin, and I do mean sunny. I trust you are getting familiar with the area. All the bars and clubs are on 6th street, though you should avoid downtown and I-35 on Saturdays when the Longhorns are playing. Though you should definitely check out game at some point. For everything else you can logon to http://austin.citysearch.com. They list the movies and some of the restaurants in town.

Alamo Draft House and Barton Springs are two of my favorite places. They got a great disc golf course as well that is along this creek and jogging track. I forgot where that is, though.

Oh, and The Salt Lick has my favorite barbecue ever. It's in Driftwood, TX, right north of Austin I think. BYOB.
