When in Dallas
My Da is visiting Dallas, Texas for a conference. On the phone yesterday he described the place as somewhere to avoid at all costs. Then by happy co-incidence this morning a Texan was visiting us at work to discuss various IT issues. You know, the usual "that's due in a year" kind of thing, while we all try hard not to laugh. So I mentioned to my Texan friend about my Da's predicament in Dallas. This friend hails from Houston but he still had some advice. He suggested my Da should drive out to a farm, grab some cow-pats and shoot them out of the air. So now you know what to do in Dallas, Da. posted by Simon on 12.03.03 at 11:36 AM in the

I spent 4 months in Dallas. We spent most nights playing a game that uses a hoop on the end of a piece of string on a pole sticking out from the wall. You had to swing the hoop and try to get it over a hook on the wall. Utterly addictive. We'd play for hours whilst waiting for the next train to go by. When the train goes by the bar gave out free booze. Some of these trains were 10 minutes long. He could always check out the JFK stuff... x on the road, the grassy knoll, the book depository etc. posted by: shaky on 12.03.03 at 12:32 PM [permalink]I used to live there. The food is great. posted by: d fresh on 12.03.03 at 01:54 PM [permalink]His hotel already overlooks the plaza, so he's done the lone gunman thing. Turns out JFK's still alive and it was just a ratings stunt. posted by: Simon on 12.03.03 at 02:12 PM [permalink]I used to live there, too. I recommend many margaritas, a load of Tex-Mex food, and then I recommend getting the heck out of there before the conservative rednecks hunt down the foreigners and inbibe them with pro-Bush sentiments administered via IV. Really. It cn get that irritating. posted by: Helen on 12.04.03 at 02:02 AM [permalink]Lived there for three years as well. I had a great time while I was there - yeah it's a pretty generic city - but the food IS great there. If he's a drinker send him to Lower Greenville, otherwise, tell him to check out Austin if he's got a couple spare days. posted by: nekkid on 12.05.03 at 11:22 AM [permalink] |
