Lots of trees around his place to turn into flying shrapnel, you know.

On this date in 1836 Texas published this thing:



And then eventually kicked some major ass.  That was sure awesome we have only gone down hill since.

Anyway Viva Tejas!  176 years old today but don't look a day over 29...or act a day over 15.

No way they gonna' take our slaves! FREEDOM!!!

I know you Hungarians are eager to be ruled by dictators who ignore constitutions but 1836 Texans were less excited about it.

At least Santa Anna had style.

Yes because they wanted to keep their slaves

Bullshit.  Mexican nationalist garbage.

You're joking, right Valmy?

[Ed Anger]

I'm in the basement RIGHT NOW.

Nope.  The abuses listed in the declaration were quite real.  Texas was hardly the only part of Mexico that revolted.

Did I say the Texans were some sort of pure noble whatever with no other motives?  Of course not but to claim that was the main thing going on is ridiculous.  Besides, It was only after the revolution was successful that things started going to shit on that front.

So, I have the yahoo username that is "[email protected]."  As a result, I get some misdirected email.

Yesterday, I got added somehow to an "edmodo" group for "Mr. Eddie Baker's 7A Sixth Grade Class" at "Beaufort Schools."  Between 1:30 and 1:45pm today I got  50 emails of 13 year-olds just saying "wassup!"

[Ed Anger]

Holy fuck. Marysville Indiana reported "gone".

Man you got to get off that before you end up on some pedophile watch list.

Colt even engraved the Navy Revolver with a scene from one of "our" attempts to help one of the other revolting areas of Mexico.  Hm yes!  Interesting factoid!

Let me ask you this, would not being able to own slaves be the only reason for you to not want to live under Mexican rule?

[Eddie Teach]

Holy fuck. Marysville Indiana reported "gone".

1632 style?

Hope your house doesn't get torn up.  Cleaning up after Tornado can be bitch.  We got some thunder and hail, nothing serious.  Looks like Springs come early.

Been damn strange weather this year.  Autumn only seemed to start around November, winter never really came and spring has started in February.  Hell for the last two weeks you could go outside without even a jacket.  Yesterday it was like 70 degrees outside.
