>I'll be damned if I'd it that horrible horrible disgusting slop they eat
around the world!" I was on a tour to Taiwan and they served a fabulous dinner, all laid out on a big Lazy Susan--there were ten people at the table-- my two friends and I and the tour guide were from New York--the rest were Texans--the New Yorkers ate every last piece of food--the Texans ate NONE!! They said they preferred BARBECUE!! |

Don't, for one second, assume that all (or even most) Texans are like that. Those from small towns may have limited exposure to ethnic food and be hesitant to try it, but those of us who live in major metro areas are surrounded by nearly every type of ethnic cuisine that exists. Houston, for example, is one of the most ethnically-diverse cities in the U.S. and boasts thousands of restaurants offering *many* different types of food. Here's a great guide to ethnic dining in Houston (written by a very big afficionado of ethnic food): http://www.b4-u-eat.com/ethnic/ethnic.asp Mary--OK, so I get a little defensive...  |

Before I moved from Colorado <sob!> I used to have a season pass to Copper Mountain and went as often as I could manage. The worst ski accident I ever had involved a Texas kid who was skiing far too fast for the conditions or his skill - knocked me half way down the mountain. Skis, poles, sunglasses - everything went flying. I had a bruise on my butt that I *swear* you could read the "Rossignol" imprint and a wicked cut on my chin from my ski tip. Bleeding like hell. The kid's father was talking to the ski patrol saying that, as I appeared to be the more experienced skier, I should have gotten out of the kid's way. HellOOO! The uphill skier has the responsibility to watch for the downhill skier, since the downhill skier doesn't have eyes in the back of his/her head! He also didn't think I looked "that badly hurt," although I was bleeding like a stuck pig. The ski patrol wanted to litter me down the mountain, but I was damned if I'd let 'em. After folks kindly recovered my ski gear, I got myself back down the mountain. I don't think I drew a sober breath the rest of the day. And if I ever see a Texan on skis again... ;-> Terry "Squeaks" Pulliam Burd AAC(F)BV66.0748.CA "If the soup had been as hot as the claret, if the claret had been as old as the bird, and if the bird's breasts had been as full as the waitress', it would have been a very good dinner."

One of them knocked me down getting off the lift, then went Yahoooo-ing down the mt. leaving me with a torn lateral meniscus and months of pain. You were smart not to get littered down in a meat wagon. They wrap you up like a mummy (face covered) and take you down HEAD FIRST, hitting every single bump along the way. If you weren't claustrophobic and bruised when you began the descent, you would be by the end. OB food: Has anyone ever had a good meal on a ski mt. other than the chili? gloria p |
