I thought it prudent to waste a line or two here....maybe a teensy bit of humour will cheer you up guys n gals. Jen asked me today if I should go buy some pajamas(jammies we call em) to sleep in. I said "why?" She said that it was not ettiquette to walk around in another country in me birthday suit at all hours of tha night. Even if it was in a hotel or someones home. I replied, "hey, I ain't bashfull...everyone who will be at the palooza or are here on CSN are not ashamed to talk about their personal ablutions...so does it matter if I go starkers once in a while?"
Now, she gave me a very solemn look of total disgust and firmly told me that I should wear something. Mmmmmmmmmm.....I wonder if my g-string will suffice? Sponger...help me out buddy...Bud?...waddayou wearin mate? Ron?....Howard?Bruce,Rodney? awwww...c'mon fellas I need guidance here!
Oh strewth...Jen just walked in!!!! THUMP..Ouch!! Arghh!!! "belt"....ow!
.....some days are diamonds...somedays SHE is stone...........thump, belt...ouch!
...think I'll by some jammies.....

Well, Ross, since you asked, I think it would only be appropriate for you to wear a very fluffy kangaroo costume, complete with ears and whiskers and a pouch for all your colonpalooza supplies. I only regret that I won't be there to see it.

Rodney -

I laughed so hard I p!$$ed myself! BRAVO!!

Kanga -

I guess I should let you in on some of the little known US customs so that you blend in when you're here - especially in Texas, you know how they feel about "fur-i-nurs". In the US it is customary:

1. To buy every American you meet a drink

2. Inform every policeman you encounter where you are staying and then tip them $5 to walk past that location hourly to ensure it stays safe.

3. If you encounter someone wearing a cowboy hat, it is appropriate to walk up to them and loudly exclaim "Yee-Haw! Howdy, partner. How are Hoss and Little Joe?" ("Hoss and Little Joe" is a Texan phrase to mean one's family). Do this even if you don't know that person. To not do so is considered unneighborly.

4. Fried bull testicles are a delicacy and it is bad luck to go to Texas and not eat them as your first meal. In order not to offend the chef, it is customary to, when finished, stand up and exclaim "Those are the most fabulous testicles I ever ate".

5. Texans do not tolerate people from other countries well... In order to blend in, you should give all of your foreign currency and coins to the first Hare Krishna person you encounter - you'll recognize them by their shaved head and orange toga.

6. In order to blend in while in Texas, you should should refer to all men as "Billy Bob" or "Jimmy Joe", use the phrase "Y'all" without hesitation (as in, "Billy Bob, y'all mind if I have some more of y'all's sweet tea, all y'all?").

7. Lastly, ALWAYS refer to law enforcement personnel in Texas as "Chuck Norris" (as in, "Yee-Haw howdy! Here's $5 for y'all, Chuck Norris. I'm staying in room 415 at y'all's Holiday Inn, y'all. How are Hoss and Little Joe? Let me buy y'all a drink.")

8. Oh - one last thing - they really frown on thongs pool-sde. The latest trend is to wear a bright orange or hot pink Speedo swimsuit at poolside. That's what all the fashionable guys are wearing this year.

Hopefully these "insider" tips help you to enjoy your visit to Texas to the fullest. I hope that you will, likewise, make me aware of some of the important local customs before I come to Australia!

Cheers, y'all!

Oh, my goodness....I wet something, too!!!!
I, being from California, was considered to be a fur-in-er, too!!!!!
PLEASE take SB with a grain of salt (darn Californian)! Alien!
Seriously, Texans can be a little conservative (back me up here, jana!!!). They have very good manners (don't talk about you till you leave the room), tip their hat to ladies (happened to me ALL THE TIME (hehehehe), and generally look at the rest of us (non-Texans) as an income source (tourism).
I LOVED my visits to Houston, and San Antonio, I have never been made to feel so at home (darn californian....now GO HOME!).
Serious, again...enjoy yourselves, buy yourself a co-boy hat (they will teach you how to use it....my beau got "Mam" instructions...seriously), and eat some Tex-Mex...gar-n-teed to fry your socks off....
Hugs,
Kathi

HowardJ · April 2006

I laughed out loud when I read Rodney and Sponger's replies!

Kanga,

I say wear what you want, or not. Personally I wear jammies only in the winter.

Ya'll have a good time!! Sorry I'm going to miss it.

I sit corrected, Kerry!
I have visited your great state 5 times, and really do love it and the people.
I meant no offense, honest.
I love the Riverwalk....I've taken the boats every time I've been in San Antonio.

And the food is really HOT!!! My tongue is really a tenderfoot!
Have fun, all you that are going...it's a beautiful state.

Hugs,
kathi

Had to chime in. Austin is a little pocket of liberal in the vast land of Texas. People are mighty friendly in all parts of Tx.

ALL Americans are suckers for British and Australian accents (only problem is that most people can't tell the difference - try not to take offense.)

There is a small beach in Austin, by a lake, where people hang out nude! No jammies required. While staying with Kerry, jammies may be a good idea (depending on how much drug and alcohol is comsumed), but after that - do what ever you want.

We all love you no matter what you wear. Only difference is that Jen lives with you - you may need to just listen to her.

Can't wait to see you! jana
