Very Texan of you. 

We're a proud people, and lots of people agree.  

Remind me where you live ?  

Lots of people agree that Texans are proud?  It may be fully justified, but I don't think you'll get any argument there. 

As for living here, hey, I had to move somewhere where a woman would marry me.  Not my fault that the women of the rest of the Union never found me attractive and Texans are the only ones who would ever date me. 

More or less making fun of my 10 year old self for thinking that everybody knows that the Texas flag looks like.  

because of Buccees?

I know....I'm just messing with ya.  

I used to frequently visit the capitol growing up.  Only lived a short drive from it.  Not sure why I wound up going so much.  Sometimes it was school field trips, sometimes my folks would take me.  

Anyway, while I always knew what our state flag looked like, I was confused about the whole thing.  In the giant foyer of the LA state capitol hangs all the flags of countries who ever controlled the territory.  There are a lot of them.....I'm thinking 16, but I might not remember that correctly.  I remember being a kid and looking at all those flags, not understanding what they had to do with anything, and not being entirely certain that the flag I thought was our state flag was actually it, because maybe it was one of these other ones.  You know.....the ones hanging in the state capitol.  

Of course, as a kid, the coolest thing about that building was looking at the hole in the wall made by the bullet that killed Huey P. Long (before they rushed his brain to a vat in the basement where he still controls things to this day).  Chilling.  Not entirely sure it's a great thing to show kids on an elementary school field trip, but the 80's were the 80's.

I think so, I also think it's mostly OK.  I find Atlantans to be rather excessively proud of things like having a large airport, which is, well, OK, but a bit of an odd thing in which to be proud.  They seize on other things that are "largest", or nearly so, like the aquarium, the once tallest hotel in the world, the largest painting, the large bax relief carving, the worst traffic (probably not quite true), the most streets with Peachtree in the name, the world's largest drivein restaurant, the most strip clubs ...
