Motherfuckers, you are typing words out. You can spell out 'you all'. Or just say 'everyone' or anything else. No one has to fake a loving dialect for their base or for anything else online. Who the gently caress even says that out loud anymore?

I've donned the cowboy boots a few times when I was younger, hunting across a few hundred acres of back country on some guy's ranch. But never any other time.

The real question though is not whether you wear a cowboy hat with it, but if you go with the bolo tie.

A bolo tie is essential if you want to rock a sweet opal, turquoise, or other gemstone as a dude if you're not a ring guy.

Apparently Harris county is shut down now. I still have not noticed any difference in traffic :v:

Galveston County too, to start at 11:59 tonight, though it sounds like it's basically what everyone's been recommending already:

Galveston Daily News posted:

Under the county’s order, residents may only leave their homes to seek medical care, pick up essential items such as food — for either humans or pets — or household supplies, participate in solitary outdoor recreational activities or to work at an essential business.

Essential businesses include banks and retailers such as grocery stores, gas stations and convenience stores, in addition to healthcare providers, news organizations, restaurants providing takeout, delivery and drive-through services.

Also Kent Hance, that sumbitch is the reason Mike Leach left Texas Tech. He wanted a big new contract and Tech didn’t want to pay, so chancellor Hance and former ESPN commentator (and political hopeful) Craig James manufactured a controversy to get rid of him.

Velvet taco is fine but i'd rather go to Torchy's. Most legit taco place near me is La India Bonita in League City, little family-run place, cash only, has the best charro beans I've ever had.

Tacos agogo in midtown is pretty good, and Tacos El Bigote in Sugarland is great, get a Mexican coke, some pastor tacos, and watch Mexican soccer on the TV.

I bolded the important part. Once the optics of hospitalizations get too bad, look for the goalposts to shift to deaths. We seem to be doing better at keeping people alive, and that will allow Abbott to continue the fiction of normalcy.
