Probably not And would probably not get romantically involved with a married woman either. I have a few friends that have come close, but always figured it would be a bad idea.
But I've got to have a clean house. Besides watching the dogs slip and slide on the hardwoods keeps me laughing. Especially when they chase each other down the hall and slide into the living room wall.
I do have a spider living in my truck's passenger window, though. I did the creepy cobweb dance a couple days ago when I reached in to the glovebox and was covered with the web.
Ever notice how in Texan jokes the Texan is tossed in with people from other countries, or Yankees? EVERYONE realizes we truly are our own country down here, except the American government who can't survive with out us.
REPUBLIC OF TEXAS!

A Frenchman, an Italian, and a Texan were discussing lovemaking.
"Last night I made love to my wife three times," boasted the Frenchman. "She was in sheer ecstasy this morning."
"Ah, last night I made love to my wife six times," the Italian responded, "And this morning she made me a wonderful omelet and told me she could never love another man."
When the Texan remained silent, the Frenchman smugly asked, "And how many times did you make love to your wife last night?"
"Once," he replied.
"Only once?" the Italian arrogantly snorted.
"What did she say to you this morning?" asked the Italian.
When you're from Texas, people who you meet ask you questions like, "Do you have any cows?" It's nice to be able to say yes. They ask you, "Do you have horses?" Yup. Bet you got a bunch of guns, eh? Of course. They all want to know if you've been to Southfork. They watched Dallas. Have you ever looked at a map of the world? Why sure you have. Look at Texas for me just for a second. That picture, with the Panhandle and the Gulf Coast, and the Red River and the Rio Grande is as much a part of you as anything ever will be. As soon as anyone anywhere in the world looks at it, they know what it is. It's Texas. Pick any kid off the street in Japan and draw him a picture of Texas in the dirt, and he'll know what it is.What happens if I show you a picture of any other state? You'll get it maybe after a second, but who else would? Even if you do, does it ever stir any feelings in you?
In every man, woman and child on this little rock the Good Lord put us on, there is somewhere in them a person who wishes just once he could be a real live Texan and get up on a horse or ride in a pickup. Did you ever hear anyone in a restaurant go, "Wow... so you're from Ok-la-homa. Cool. Tell me about it"? There is some bit of Texas in everyone. Do you know why? Because Texas is Texas.
Texas is the Alamo. Texas is 183 men standing in a church, facing thousands of Mexican soldiers, fighting for freedom, who had the chance to walk out and save themselves but stayed. We send our kids to schools named William B. Travis and Bowie, and do you know why? Because those men saw a line in the sand, and they decided to be heroes. John Wayne paid to do the movie himself. That is Texas. Texas is Sam Houston capturing Santa Ana at San Jacinto. Texas is Texas Independence Day and Juneteenth. Texas is huge forests of piney woods like the Davy Crockett National Forest. Texas is breathtaking mountains in Big Bend. Texas is shiny skyscrapers in Houston and Dallas. Texas is oak and cedar trees, cactus, Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. Texas is world record bass from places like Lake Fork. Texas is Mexican food like nowhere in the world, even Mexico. Texas is larger-than-life legends like Earl Campbell and Nolan Ryan, Denton Cooley and Michael DeBakey, Lyndon Johnson, George Bush, and George W. Bush, Willie Nelson and Buddy Holly. Texas is great companies like Dell Computer and Compaq. Texas is huge herds of cattle and miles of crops. Texas is skies blackened with doves and leases full of deer. Texas is the best Bar-b-que anywhere. Texas is a place where cities shut down for the Cowboys on Monday Night Football and the streets are deserted during church.
Texas is beaches, deserts, lakes and rivers, mountains and prairies.
By federal law, Texas is the only state in the U.S. that can fly its flag at the same height as the U.S. flag. Think about that for a second. You fly the Stars and Stripes at 20 feet in Maryland, or California, or Maine, and your state flag goes at 17. You fly the Stars and Stripes in front of Pine Tree High in Longview, Texas, at 20 feet, and the Lone Star flies at 20 feet. Our capitol is the only one in the country that is taller than the capitol building in D.C. We signed those in as part of the deal when we came on. Texas was its own country. The Republic of Texas.
My sense of humor is a little off and sometime, like everyone else I just get pissed and post my opinion. But that's all it is, an opinion.
I've lived a very complicated life already, have met very strange, dangerous and interesting people, and like to see the opinions of others. I'm here to make friends.
If I offend you, send me an IM. If it was unintentional, I WILL appologize. If not, you'll get a reply to send to the mods.
Otherwise, I wish everyone the best and hope to see some of you naked in the future!
A rancher buddy sent this to me, and I felt I'd share.
Good Ole Texas
Texans needn't fear O'Sammy Been Lodding or Sodamn Insane. Shucks, they ain't nothing. As a Texan for more than 60 years and an honorably discharged veteran, I'm getting a big laugh over the statements of O'Sammy Been Lodding, Sadam, the Taliban, our politicians and the media.
They talk of what to expect from terrorists, but we Texans have lived with greater dangers for years and survived. I'll bet O'Sammy has never seen a Texas tornado that levels homes and peels up the asphalt on the roads. How about hailstones as big as soft balls, or a blue norther that drops the temperature 40 degrees in minutes?
O'Sammy has probably seen 100-plus-degree summers in Afghanistan, but I bet he doesn't have fire ants.
He and his buddies talk about the pain and suffering they're going to inflict upon us. He doesn't know what pain is until he gets kicked by a green-broke, 2-year-old colt in the dead of winter.
You've heard of anthrax. I've been around cattle for years and have never seen a case, but I have seen "mad cow disease." Every old mama cow that we worked, and separated from her calf, got mad.
They talk of germ warfare.. Texas ticks will give you Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lymes disease, and our mosquitoes seem to be direct descendants of woodpeckers.
We have blister beetles that can kill! your horse and green bugs that will destroy a wheat crop . West Texas prairie dogs carry the plague, our armadillos carry leprosy, and skunks carry rabies. Maybe we should send over a few of our varmints and show the Taliban what the word terror really means.
Texas has goat-heads, cactus, mesquite, honey locust thorns, bull nettle and poison ivy. Everything that grows in our pastures will either stick you or stab you. I'll bet O'Sammy has never seen a cottonmouth water moccasin, a diamondback rattler or a copperhead. We have squadrons of yellow jackets and bumblebee bombers. Have you ever stepped on a Texas scorpion in your bare feet?
O'Sammy talks of gas and biological warfare. He has never pulled in behind a cattle truck while it's raining, or ridden in the cab of a pickup truck between two other cowboys after they've! just eaten a big bowl of Texas red.
No, O'Sammy, you and all your buddies can't terrorize Texas or Texans.
If you think you can, come on over. You will find out right quick why we buy U.S. tools made by Ruger, Colt, Remington and Smith & Wesson. We load them with U. S. products made by Winchester, Remington, Speer and Federal. We use these tools on varmints; and for protection.
We also buy US tools made by Case, Buck and Schrade. We use these tools to change ornery bulls into calm steers and rank studs into gentle geldings.
We call this an "attitude adjustment." We have an abundance of good tools in Texas, and we know how to use them.
Texans, and my kinfolk have dealt with your kind for hundreds of years.
The fact that I'm here tells me that we can survive. We have posted signs all over the state that say, "Don't Mess With Texas" - Consider yourself warned!
I'm thinking of flooding my back yard and seeing what damage I can do before I turn the place over to the rental company. Front yard too if things keep up the way they are.
Bury it to the hubs in my tiny front yard and see what the neighbors say.
<------ Best BBQer ever! And I do all the rest. As far as the beer, it's usually ina cooler beside the grill. I just need a pretty lady to lounge in a lawn chair to keep me just enough distracted.
{I've BBQed on a boat, out side when it was 40 below, and inside when it was raining.}
Pass the meat and lets get this going!
{PS...the story was pretty funny, too many men like that out there.}
I Demand...someone cute and female to have dinner with! There's a steak house I want to try that's offering blackened shrimp alfredo, along with several other tasty dishes.
I Demand...walks on the beach under the moonlight!
I Demand...someone willing to just kick back and watch movies with!
Being the not very nice person I am, I can see each of these being a "Monkey's Paw".
I'd honestly choose the first, because it would give me an opportunity at the rest. I always had a fascination with vampires. It would be nice to have the life and get to watch sunsets. There would be drawbacks, but #1 would work best for me.
Just stopping in to see what's going on. I heard all the real fun happens after I've escaped for the night. And it seems that I was correctly informed for a change!
I wish everyone well, and will see who's wandering around next time!
I've been ditched because of size.... .....of my bank account!
Sometimes I want to find and throttle 'Bob' from the enhancement commercials. If that was all it took I should be one of the happiest friggin' guy around!
Eventually I'm going to get a '69 Charger and put a rag top on it. I've only seen a couple Charger convertibles from that era.
Only had 2 Converibles, well 1, actually. I took a torch and cut the roof off my '73 Mearcury Marquis. And I had a 2000 Sebring. And my Jeepy Jeep, if that counts.
