… I saw one item: a post stating the World’s Largest Blue Crab was no longer there.
What? NO giant crab? I live for seeing giant, wacky stuff like that. It just makes me laugh; I don’t know why. So I was disappointed to learn it had been destroyed by the big storms, removed, and buried (???) long ago. Ooh, I wonder where the grave is?
But, wait! There's more...Yup… Chocolate covered bacon is like sex. (Maybe better, depending on the skill level of those involved.) They fry everything in Texas: all fish, pickles, bacon, candy bars, mallow pies, strawberry shortcake, cheesecake, oreos, twinkies, s’mores, etc. Y’all know I love a good festival. Since attending some of Texas’ festivals, … But, wait! There’s more…
World’s Largest Longhorn One cannot spend any amount of time at all near Austin, Texas without hearing about Longhorns. Yup, they’re a breed of cattle. (see below) But – more importantly to many Texans – the Longhorns are a college football team. Many years ago, I watched football all the … But, wait! There’s more…
Arachnophilia = The love of spiders. I love spiders. They fascinate me – provided they aren’t in my house or on me. Then they terrify me. (That last part is very important… in my house or on me = dead spider. Yes, my love for spiders is fickle.) Do any … But, wait! There’s more…
In the middle of nowhere, just outside of Columbus, Texas, you’ll find a huge general store full of the not-so-general. And a lot of “recycled” (aka “garbage”) art. Started in 2006, the Industrial Country Market, and its many structures, are all self-sustaining and fully “off-grid”. Wandering around the large grounds, … But, wait! There’s more…
There it was, Cinderella’s Coach. It was sitting just off the highway in La Grange, Texas, the town most notable for the ZZ Top song of the same name. Now all I need is to find my glass slipper and that illusive Prince. Buy custom products at Kernut’s Zazzle store … But, wait! There’s more…
It’s a nice little town and all, so why do some people say Luling, Texas is “loopy”? Maybe it’s because of the Watermelon Thump festival where the person who can spit a watermelon seed the farthest wins. Wins what, I don’t know. Sadly, I missed this festival. It could also … But, wait! There’s more…
Remember when I said ‘Texans have big balls‘? Well, they have some really big nuts, too. I went to the nuthouse. I know you’re all thinking, “Well, it’s about time!” No, not as a patient! It was just for a visit thankyouverymuch. Besides, it wasn’t that kind of nuthouse. But … But, wait! There’s more…
And the gratuitous photos just keep coming. This is the last post in the “wanna be like Playboy” series of photos with little or no storyline (don’t pretend you don’t know what I’m talking about), finishing off my time on the Texas Gulf Coast. Aransas Pass Shrimporee – A festival … But, wait! There’s more…
Evidence of the Wild West is alive and well all over the southwestern states. Tributes to fallen outlaws and admired cowboys abound. Warren Earp, Rex Allen, and Koko the Horse are all buried in Willcox, Arizona.
