I've seen it here in Texas. San Antonio, even! It was at the old Natural History museum. At a diorama. In front of which, the tour guide asked us, "what do you see here that shouldn't be here, if everything was accurate? That's right! Saguaro doesn't grow in Texas!"

Oh wow that's a way smaller range than I expected. I had thought it was weird I didn't see any between Albuquerque and Vegas.

I like to imagine that Americans from the random states in the middle with perfectly rectangular shapes do the same thing, but since it's just rectangles, no one realises it.

Took the dogs to the vet the other day to get their shots, and the friggin rabies tags were Texas-shaped. Ugly!

Nah, fuck that shit. Texas politics suck hard, but not like Florida suck. The Texas Legislature is out of their minds, but they still follow rules of procedure. Florida's government is fucking gone

I didn't say at all that that's what's insane, but the Texas government's relentless adherence to rules of procedure has made it where much of the worst legislation proposed by Republicans has been defeated or significantly delayed through points of order and delay tactics by Democrats

Texan here: born and raised. Comparing Texas BBQ to other styles of BBQ is like trying to compare dogs: they're all wonderful.

Although some look funny or smell bad.

Other than that, trying to define one kind as superior to all others is just as asinine as dog shows. You might be there to see who wins, but I'm just there to eat some barbecue. Or pet some dogs. I've kinda gotten lost in my own metaphor.

Well said. I'm also a native Texan and have little pride in the state in general, but we have some undeniably good food.

You can never go wrong with Texas BBQ, but that is also true of other states.

Florida has BBQ? I've been there a bunch and have never heard of it
