“ About the worst thing that can happen to you in life is to be in a room with two Texans who start trying to tell you about the Alamo. Or about Texas. Or about how Texas was affected by the Alamo. But there’s something endearing about it, too. Texans are battling stereotypes that don’t tend to favor them. It’s like talking up your mom’s meatloaf. New Yorkers, by contrast, have what’s considered the greatest city in the country and can’t stop talking about it. It’s like an A-student bragging about his grades, or a rich guy making everybody look at his car. It’s unseemly. ”

Ezra Klein

I agree with him, actually, even though I’m sure I’m routinely guilty of bragging about New York.

LOL. Y’all must have gone into the wrong room. I know two people and a guild from Texas. One will tell me about music that goes BOONTZ BOONTZ BOONTZ and make a sound argument for Li-Lo being fun to party with. The other will tell me about how to make really awesome food and some crazy money-making venture he’s on. The guild will tell me about how the goddamn priest pulled aggro and they wiped for, like, oh fuck it - we’ll repair and go do ICC instead. Y’all can have NYC. Now Boston OTOH, yeah Boston’s the utter balls.
