There's a joke there, I know there is...No joke: check a globe if you don't believe me. The vast distances here are what prompt people to refer to towns an hour away as being "just outside the Beltway."
It's true. I had to go to Brownsville for an interview and when I mapped it out I could drive across Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico to Ammarillo in one day, and the second day of my trip would be driving across Texas.
If you bother to look at a map you can plainly see that Texas is the Atlas of states, as it bears the weight of the continental US upon its mighty shoulders.
You're a good man.

I certainly vented a lot of spleen in Abilene...
Hey Big Tex! I think it's time we make firewood out of this taking tree. *starts chainsaw*Well, unlike those Floridadrain trees I'm all hardwood, but not so old as them there Calicornya trees that are so old they're petrified.
Who are you calling petrified?

Listen, just because you pin a map on the wall doesn’t mean gravity works that way.
Hey, listen up here, people from a state that is too humid, flaccid, and has an uncool name. Who said Texas wants to merge with you? We'll do fine sitting out in the Gulf of Mexico (to be renamed Gulf of Texico) by ourselves. Also, be sure and cut according to our pre-US boundaries. Taos, NM will be coming with us.
I figured ya'll were yeller, but I thought ya'll'd at least put up a braver front. Ahr mos'skeeters would carry off and eat ya'lls youngins. Heck, ya'll're probably scared of the Oakies or even Arkansas too. Ha!
Pthbbbbbpt! If'n ya'll grow a spine, ya'll know where to come to get ya'lls butt whupped. :)
PS. Ya'lls chili sucks too. That's right, ALL the chili in the entire state of Texas. ;p
as far as taos, nm goes, take it, along with santa fe, albuquerque, alamagordo, hell, right up gallup and raton. just leave farmington. its really the only worthwhile town in new mexico.
