Texas Writer Jerry Flemmons on Texas Women:
"....Don't ever let one kick you," he warned. "Those boots are sharp. And don't try to compete with her horse, because you'll lose. A husband is secondary to a horse...."
"They're unpredictable, calculating, argumentative and cross. They will fight you like a man and never forget a slight. They are stubborn and single-minded. You simply cannot beat them. At anything."
She is "at home in a country club or a beer joint, can drink Lone Star from a bottle or champagne from a magnum... and has a vocabulary that would blister a roustabout's ears....""...She'll take out a solid gold cigarette case from her $500 hand-beaded clutch purse, put the cigarette to her lips and... she'll reach into the purse again, take out a kitchen match, and run the match across her gold lame hip to light it ~ and that's... that's... a Texas woman."
Therefore I, The Homesick Texan, do now and forever
hereby declare Patsy Cline an Honorary Texas Woman!
Criteria for being an Honorary Texas Woman
1 The answer to the question, "Will this look silly on me?" is "No."
2 When you make a statement, your voice doesn't go up at the end like a question.
3 You don't wait around for life to happen to you ~ you MAKE life happen.
4 You don't ask anyone's permission for thangs.
5 You don't get bent out of shape if a man winks at you; you wink back.
6 Hell, yes, you carry your own groceries.
7 You know which side your bread is buttered on, and who owns the marmalade.
8 People always seem to be trying to pigeonhole you, and they always fail.
9 When you screw up, you admit it. Well, most of the time, anyway.
10 You don't mind being called a bitch; it just means you're being effective.
11 "Don't do me any favors."
12 Laughing with good friends is better than a hot dinner.
13 No one's ever accused you of being: poky, sweet, quiet, normal, lazy, patient.
14 You must be over 21 ~ this allows time for the sass gene to develop fully.
15 "I no longer have any fear ~ everything that can be done to me has been done."
16 You know the value of humor... compassion... knowledge... time...
17 People who whine and/or won't pull themselves up irritate the hell out of you.
18 "All human beings are created equal; what happens after that is up to each of us."
19 Yes, you can get blood out of a turnip, if you put your mind to it!
20 You do everything 100% ~ even sleeping.
21 You don't care if everyone else in the discussion disagrees with you.
