No, you're supposed to use minor differences between your city and <other city> as proof that you're better than those people, because otherwise you'd have to face the fact that you really have no identity.

It's not so much a city as a sprawling conglomeration of strip malls built atop a fetid toxic chemical swamp surrounded by gated communities full of the richest racists since Belgium was mining in the Congo

The toxic part is just the east side and you've gravely insulted Dallas by claiming that Houston's gated communities are more racist than the ones in the Dallas metro. Dallas has spent decades fine tuning their racism.

He looked especially tall to me because I was like 7 or 8.

I met Evander Holyfield at a club I was managing in the early 2000's. I don't remember what he drank other than it was NA, and he was very pleasant/patient about getting said drink considering we were already busy.

I saw Matthew McConaughey in front of me in line at an EZ Mart in College Station in the early 00s. He was bare chested with his shirt open, had a large dip in and was smoking indoors.

He said "marburr reds?", got his smokes and left.

I hope that's our governor soon

No good encounters here, but my brother used to drive the train at Zilker Park and gave Dan Rather a ride once.

He had all kinds of crazy stories from that job.

A coworker’s claim to fame is the time he almost got arrested for bowling Matthew McConaughey over while rushing the field after Tech and Crabtree beat Texas. He says he was close to blackout and just didn’t see him, and McConaughey told the cops to let my coworker go and just help him get off the field.

Patrick Swayze had a ranch near me growing up. He was pretty cool for the most part and kept to himself. There was one time he showed up to this little BBQ place at night right after they had closed. The teenagers working there heard somebody knocking on the window and said they were closed, but the knocking continued. When they saw who it was, they brought him in, asked him what he wanted, and made it for him. He tipped pretty well.
