Some of these don't apply. I've bolded and commented.

[SV61]

Go to the Ice House?

"Do you want a Coke?"

"Yes"

"What kind?"

"A Pepsi".

Parking spots are ranked by the amount of shade they have, not how close they are to the destination.

In normal rain pattern years for Texas, the media describes it as a drought. When we get rain, it is described as flooding.

You can have 10,000 people at a normal Friday night High School Football game, then have 1,000 people the very next day, for a small college game.

When someone asks me where I'm from, I say San Antonio. Even though I was born in Houston.

DQ Is originally from Illinois. It's currently from Minnesota. Neither of them are Texas, so I don't consider DQ a Texas thing, even though we have more of them here.

6) You eat a lot of Breakfast tacos.

I don't know about breakfast taco's. We always had breakfast burrito's or fajitas. Brown up some breakfast sausage, fry the hashbrowns in the grease, cook up some eggs, roll it in a warm tortilla with grated cheese, picante suace, and sour cream and enjoy. Makes me hungry right now.

Real Texans only eat breakfast tacos. Not breakfast "burritos" or God forbid, fajitas at breakfast.

[SV61]

I think the only place you can get a Breakfast Burrito, is McDonalds.

Watch it though. They may the audacity to serve it to you, gasp, HOT.

Other things that make you Texan:

You pass the 1000 Dairy Queens (you know, since they aren't a Texas Tradition, because they aren't FROM here (:rolleyes:), and stop to eat MEXICAN food after the game.

Yes, Mexican food can be a Texas Tradition. I KNOW it's not FROM Texas.

:D

Other things a Texan might do,

You have ever had to honk your horn, to get a pack of buzzards off of something on the road.

Put a Lonestar Bottle in a Dead Armadillos arms.

Walk the Football field each day before practice, to pick up rocks.

Next.
