Question

Has anyone ever been to Lubbock, Texas? Is it nice? Would I like it there?

I am sort of considering applying for a job there on a bit of a whim. I'm whimsical like that.

It's probably hot there, right?

  • Well, never been there, but from what I know I can tell it is rather hot and (more unfortunately) humid.

  • I couldn't tell you, but it's probably also politically conservative down there too, right?

  • Lubbock is almost the same latitude as where I live, but it's smack in the middle of that big dry plain in the Texas panhandle. Dusty and hot. On the upside it rarely snows, and the people down here are real nice. Bible Belt, don't know if that's a plus or minus for you.

    What does your woman think of your "whim"? :)

  • hmmm...hot and dry is better than hot and humid.

    I think I could live with the conservatism. I think EVERYWHERE is too conservative.

    Alas, Sherri, I am recently (or not really recently anymore) single. Which may account for my geographical whimsy! Any women who have appeared in this blog recently have been painted strictly from memory.

  • Give me a break, Feemus! You are so not moving to Texas. %) (my picasso face)

    p.s. I've been to Texas, as the saying goes...or is that a song? Anyways...just no. No.

  • p.p.s. if you must move, move to Montana!!! It's getting just too hip for words around here!

  • Oh.

    My.

    Gawd.

    Yes, I have been to Lubbock.

    It's an expansive, flat, dirt- encrusted cooktop of baked earth and cotton fields. Circular irrigators pump the only vestage of life into the landscape.

    It rains once a year, but only after they sacrifice one of the local children on an alter.

    Me? I frickin' LOVE it there. Some of the best people in the country.

    Feemus? Dude, seriously. Even the Democrats in Lubbock vote GOP.

    Jed, Seattle is the place you ought to be, so load on up the truck and stay in the land of Hillary.

  • Picasso face! Ha!

    You know, Dwight, now I am tempted to move to Lubbock just to be contrary.

  • Oh, and I would LOVE to move to Montana (well, western Montana), but there isn't a job there for me. Sigh.

    Here's a little Texas joke. Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before.

    There were three cowboys, one from Wyoming, one from Montana, and one from Texas. They were finishing up their vittles around the campfire, swapping manly yarns.

    The Montana cowboy said: "One time, I wrassled this mountain lion. She sprang at me, but before she could get her teeth into me, I pinned her to the ground, snapped her neck, and skinned her while her heart was still beating."

    The Wyoming cowboy said: "That's nothing. One time, a big ole rattler came at me. Thick as a tree trunk, this snake was. Before it knew what hit it, I grabbed it, slit it open and made this pair of boots out of it."

    And the Texas cowboy said nothing.

    He just stood there, quietly stoking the fire with his penis.

  • Ew, Feemus!!

    And ouch, too!

    p.s. thanks for noting the picasso face, I think I'm pretty damn clever with that, ya know!

  • hmmm...maybe I didn't tell it right.
