That's why I said I get it from all sides. I did not take it as anything
derogatory. And the only time I like TU is when they play OU. When I was in
OKC I saw a bumper sticker that read-"I break for animals except Longhorns" I
thought it was a great sticker, but when some people (in OKC) found out that I
was from Texas, boy their attitude changed. I was afraid that my car was going
to be shoepolished or something. One guy even had the "balls" to say "on top
of being a woman-you're also from Texas!- I don't like you." I told him that
was his opinion(while I had a fist made with my left hand) I refused to help
him with a payment on his account( I was assistant manager), so my manager came
out and took his money. Never helped him again. This is nothing against Drew,
just the idiots in OKC.

Hey, the Aggie in that was meant in a positive note. Denotes clean cut, smart,
well dressed, detail oriented, and all of the other GOOD things that personify
A&M engineers. My oldest daughter is an Aggie. Was not meant in any way as a
derogatory comment towards Aggies. I would never demean anyone! The Aggie
description was meant only in a positive way, you know as opposed to those
spoiled snotty nosed brats who sip tea and go to that low level school in
Ausitn.

I'm sorry, the apologizing to everyone has finally gotten to me. If we become
too policitally correct this forum list is going to go downhill very fast. We
need to be ourselves and have fun with it. I am Texan, Aggie fan, and a
blond(sort of) lefty. I get it from all sides. The only topics that should
be left alone are politics and religion. Those two subjects could be
disasterous. Just my opinion.

His bus looks like you would find a backwoods Swedish hippy driving it. But
the guy looks and talks like an Aggie engineer with a degree in philosophy.Â
No beard, short haircut and clean clothes. The reason for the Swede comment
was not meant to offend anyone, but John the owner is a Swede. His dad was a
Swedish immigrant.
