On the people going by thier middle names topic I deffinetly agree that it's not just a Texas thing. I know LOADS of people here in Georgia that do that. In fact, three of those people are my half-sisters and my father. Though with them it's usualy that they are known by thier first names out in public, but the family and very close friends refer to them by thier middle names instead.

Hey, YOU try keeping your sanity when the local rock station plays UU once every 20 minutes soon after their debut album is released

Not to mention the rather trite name they gave to themselves; sounds exactly like something that WOULD come out of San Antonio. I've heard Kindergarteners in Special Ed come up with better names than that!

Oy, you have no idea how nitwitted my hometown is in general...

Come on, San Antonio can't be any worse than Dallas.

Maybe not in crowdedness, but trust me, SA is cesspool of morons and lower-class (literally) ghetto dwellers.

Not to sound racist, but this is how it is: Hispanics are the MAJORITY in SA, and a majority OF them are blue-collar, minimal English speaking welfare recipients whose kids don't know how to walk into their kindergarten class without carrying a gun and saying the "f" word every 3 words.

Ouch.

See, that I can understand. They don't get very much airplay here in california, I think "across the nation" Probably got the most air play out of them all.

You ever hear of Flying Blind? Yeah neither has anyone else outside of California -_-
They were huge here (Although they're not very good) And when they signed a Major Label deal, you couldn't go anywhere with out hearing their music. (Especially here in Modesto, as they are from here.)

Eventually they were dropped from their label, I asume due to excessive sucking.

And Yeah, Union Underground ISNT the best name on earth.

Well, in terms of where I was born, I was born in neither Richardson nor San Antonio, but still in Texas (Del Rio, a border town)...I like to joke that I'm almost Mexican.

I am born and raised in Texas but I do not have a texas accent. There is nothing to do in my hometown so I moved to Colorado. I only go home once a year

*That Matt Guy* · 11-07-2003, 10:33 AM

And what town was that?

*Cascadia* · 11-07-2003, 11:03 AM

*The Defibrillator* · 11-07-2003, 11:11 AM

For those of you who don't know, in TX we have this ice cream called Bluebell and it's way popular, and famous. The family who created it, lived out in Brenham, so that's their claim ta fame.

*That Matt Guy* · 11-07-2003, 12:02 PM

*Cascadia* · 11-07-2003, 12:33 PM
