Texas mystery number one.

Why does Dallas have COWBOYS while Fort Worth is also known as COWTOWN?

It seems like all the cowboys and all the cows should be in the same town.

You can get you post count up in the food section very quickly.

Not trying for any trolling sprees or post count records.

I'm just trying to get this Lone Star "cow" mystery solved.

Dallas is the Home of the Cowboys yet Fort Worth next door is Cowtown.

The Fort Worth Cowboys should really be playing the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day.

It seems only reasonable to put the cows and the Cowboys all in the same city.

And austin is home of the hippies in yuppietown

Or move the cows all to Dallas and make that COWTOWN.

So, where are all the horses in TX?

sheesh

Is there a lot of meth up in Oklahoma ?
Asking for a friend...

I don't know. There seems to have been a lot of that in Idaho where I came from.
I think sucking in the humidity and red dust makes people touched in the head here.
Maybe getting spun around by tornadoes causes Sooner dizziness.

consider ourselves lucky Ft worth got the cows we got the cowboys

No more than Texas.

Cowtown is the old rail market, that was bought by some hippies recently, no horses because a bunch idiots that think horses are man’s best friend shut down the slaughter markets so now they just die a miserable degenerate death in the pasture, because the idiot horse lovers don’t have a noble bone in their cowardly body.

Cowboys is a representative team of North Texas

Where in Idaho are you from

Do they still not smoke marijuana in Muskogee?

Merle loved the devils lettuce.

Dallas Cowboys just rolls off the tongue nicer than awkward sounding "Fort Worth Cowboys".

Maybe that should solve the mystery of the NFL football team name and location with respect to Cowtown.

"Cowtown Cowboys" would sound like a stupid alliteration.

They could relocate the team to Fort Worth and call them the Cowtown Wranglers.

But "wranglers" often work horse herds and not cattle.

How about the "Cowtown S__tkickers" relocated in Fort Worth or leave the team in Dallas and rename them the Dallas Lone Stars?

They already have one blue star on either side of their helmets anyway.

Boise

Yea he did

I don't know, is football still the roughest thing on campus there?

There are still quite a number of older cars in Lawton.

Some folks here still take trips in Ford LTDs.

Ever eat at the meers store?

No, but I have eaten at the Y.

Been to Meers a few times...

How are the Whataburgers in Texas?

In Lawton they were fine in 1990 but now they are dirty pig stys.

Too cheap to hire a janitor I guess.

In Lawton they have Cracker Barrel but I've only been at the one in Boise, ID.

They had nice cold apple cider there but make sure the ham you order with your eggs is sugar-cured
or it will otherwise taste gross.

The Walmarts in Lawton are rather "squal-marts" for cleanliness are lack thereof too
but I've seen a trashier one in Rancho Cordova, California just outside Sacramento.

The Walmarts in Boise, Idaho, all three, are super clean.

This whole town is a dirtbag now. A bunch of fat and lazy pigs. Used to be decent 30

years ago but no more.

Trivia, The Cowboys originally was to be the Dallas Steers. They soon realized that was a bad idea with the castrated jokes that would follow. Then they changed it to the Rangers. The Rangers baseball team was supposed to be no more before the first football game. When the Rangers baseball team continued to play, the name became the Cowboys just before the first game. There had been opposition from the Redskins on the creation of another NFL team, so it was only natural that the owners choose the Cowboys as the new name.

There are only two things that come from Texas, speaking of steers and....jokes.

Like it?

previous post you said you were from Arizona?

Bouse,AZ
La Paz County

^^^^^

OK, Cali...

The return of ye ye?

Actually Arlington is home of the cowboys.

I said I'm a native Arizonan, but a total of:

1 year I spent living in Phoenix, AZ (in infancy, father stationed at Luke AFB)
43 1/2 years I spent living in California (2 1/2 years in Monterey, 8 1/2 years in Sacramento and the rest in SF Bay Area)

1970's/1980's San Francisco is what shaped my youth culture and boyhood education.
I'd fall into the beach bum/surfer dude class. I think the TX gulf beaches/Austin residence
would be a great fit for me. It's not the Pacific Ocean, but I'm no Rockefeller. Are there
great white sharks in Galveston waters?

7 years I spent living in Boise, ID
4 months I spent living in Georgia
1 1/2 years I spent living in Lawton/Fort Sill, OK
1 3/4 years I spent living in Germany
6 months I spent living in South Carolina

Seven of my 55 1/2 years were spent in the army.

They ought to call Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington "Texas Tri-Cities" then.

Cowboys on the field in Arlington, Cowboys namesake in Dallas and cows in Fort Worth

Now, where does Irving fit in?

It doesn't. Its a festering dung heap.

It was a mistake, it was suppose to be the Dallas Boy Cows.

I've changed planes many a time at DFW.

I visited the Book Depository in Dallas with my mother in late 1989.
We saw the Kennedy death Lincoln and an ambulance at a small museum nearby.
I can't remember if the Oswald rifle was there. My mother and her woman friend were changing
planes from SFO to head for a Mexican holiday and I met them there while I was stationed at Sill during the weekend.
I took a plane down from Lawton.

FIFY

""Seven of my 55 1/2 years were spent in the army.""

Figured that out when you said Lawton, why else would anybody go there.

did Bill get a new account based in OK?

Also 43 1/2 years spent living in "California" (2 1/2 years in Monterey, 8 1/2 years in Sacramento and the 31 1/2 years in SF Bay Area)

Those 2 1/2 Monterey years were actually part of my army days at Fort Ord, CA, 7th ID Light. Was deactivated in summer of 1993 under Clinton.

I was part of the skeleton crew that shut it down. 7th ID moved to Fort Lewis/Tacoma, Washington. I was handed orders to Germany
early fall '93.
