Conversation somewhere in Austin...

Billybob: Yo Jimbob! AT&T says they'll cut my bill $30 if I let them track my Googly searches.

Jimbob: Well dang! Sign us both up Billybob. They're already spying on us anyways, so let's get paid for it!

This person has never been to austin.

Yeah, well, I lived in DFW for awhile and traveled around the state during that time. Close enough for my comfort.

Austin actually isn't part of Texas.

You mean other than it being the Capitol?

The state capitol isn't really part of Austin, but we've got them totally surrounded.

If you really had lived in DFW you would know we're more dignified here. JimBob and BillyBob are far to informal, it's JimRobert and BillyRobert if you please.

Indeed, I am living near Austin and addressed by my cousins as John Robert, thank you very much.

My Northern ears aren't delicate enough to have picked up on those semantics. All I remember is Ya'll this and Ya'll that, cinnamon seasoned beans and rice (from some place my dad loved to eat at in down town Dallas) and lots of beer basted brisket.

For bonus points, I've seen Slacker. That should count for something.

$70 instead of $100, not $100 off.

Fixed.
