Recent tests conducted by geneticists at the UT medical school in Galveston on samples taken from a Galveston residents have determined that roughly 67% of the current population of the island is descended to at least some degree from Jean Lafitte or his brother. Pirate Race FTW!

Ugh **** Galveston chicks, it's a sez pool down there seriously, and the beaches are ****. They compare it to California but I consider it a breeding ground for aids and HIV.

I'll say that in lieu of my other post too.

You can't have a breeding ground for AIDS, you parochial ****. AIDS is a symptom, not a pathogen.

Not to mention that California beaches, especially around LA, get closed down on a fairly regular basis for unhealthy water quality. Galveston might not be Hawai'i, but it is cleaner than LA.

A few things I do like about Texas is this, this, this , and this.
