Press Release --- Minister a Cultural Strategery --- Even Greater epublic of Texas

While my office's primary function is guardin' against folks tryin' to put beans in chili, this here contest has come to my attention n' when y'all folks vote there's some concerns ya might wanna ponder on:

1. Is the music bein' referred to true Texas classical music? Now personally I like both types of classical, country AND western, but be yer own judge.

2. Is the feller ya considerin' a REAL Texan? Now I know fer a fact Bob Wills would never eat chili with beans in it.

3. N' remember to, the feller who put the "Ah hah" in good Texas music. Yep. Bob Wills.

Respectfully subnitted fer yer consideration..

I would be honored to share the title with Dweezil, given I would probably lose a runoff.

Big Tex, any word on your boots? :python I have an funding item pending before the Rixtex Legislature for the cleaning bill or a new pair.

As a co-host of the party, I express my appreciation to those who voted for me, but hereby throw my votes to Rixtex. :hyper

Greenspoint, Belili, Viviana, AbFab and Big Tex all put "above and beyond" effort into this party. Rorschach and furry felines had great entries, and Sam I Am, Pinsnik, deadwhores, Headhunter6, Ambassadorship, and Even Greater Texas get special thanks for showing up and not throwing up on Big Tex's shoes. :howdy

Thanks to everybody who participated. Special thanks to AbFab for coming up with the idea and hosting, and to Big Tex for developing the best region in NS. :bow

Ministry a Cultural Stuff -- Republic a Even Greater Texas

Acedin' to the apparant defeat (takin' off hat n wipin' away the tears) a Bob Wills, our Committee on the Arts finds itself more confused than normal as it shuffles to find out who the heck Robert Palmer is.

Don't reckon y'all would reconsider Freddy Fender? His rendition a "the Cowboy Cumbia" was purdy good!

Thanks, Dweezil. I appreciate your generosity. And I certainly appreciate the direct votes for me, all three of them!! :howdy

And, thanks again to Dweezil and Yvonne for a super party and a great time.

:tx TEXANS SURE KNOW HOW TO PARTY! :hyper :tx

Somebody's taco handling methods could use some refinement. :taco :chef :ugh

And Billy Bob, I've got to say you did the best Bob Wills I ever heard. :bow I'm sure the votes for me were more in sympathy with RP's demise than for any talent I might have.

:hyper What a congratulatory bunch of Texans we have around here! :hyper

Add mine to the list of the
Many congratulations for a party well done!

Fabbo performances by all, you great and wonderful superstars.

I'm proud to be able to present our elected RIXTEX with his winning trophies: We've had the "infamous" boots of BigTex bronzed. No, we didn't clean 'em, but we thought the bronzing would cut down on the smell. It seems to have worked. . . a little.

In addition, you'll receive the soundtrack of the evening to play on your brand new Armadillo/Cactus Surround Sound Home Karaoke Machine!

Posted Image

Plus, as an added bonus, 80 of AbFab's best chili peppers for your hot hot hot performance !!!
:red :red :red :red :red :red :red :red :red :red :red :red :red :red :red :red :red :red :red

Aw, heck, I'm not gonna put them all on this one message. We'll ship you the rest.

Lastly, but certainly not leastly, in all subsequent correspondence, we recommend that all address you for at least a month and at the next Karaoke contest as "Karaoke King Rix Wax" :bow .

The Honorable Mention prize goes to our Best Texan performer, Billy Bob, who will be the fantastic recipient of chili sans beans and a brand new :cowboy hat of his choice.

All participants will receive special beer mugs engraved wtih their names to make locating one's own beverage slightly easier, and y'all can be first in line for the :rita and the :beer next time around.

Y'all come on back now, y'hear!

Thank you, thank you all. :cry These ARE tears of happiness.

I LOVE the boots. I'll put them far up on the mantle in the LR at the mansion, so any lingering odor will waft out the vents. :wow2

Mrs. Wax loves to cook with peppers, and eagerly awaits their arrival. :red :green

This is the bestest region in the world. What a blast! :tx

President Rix,

When those boots roll in on a flatbed trailer, you will be rethinking that "mantle" idea! Enjoy!

There was a rock group back in the 60's and 70's called Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Robert Palmer is NOT that Palmer. :)

No wonder, he's a foreigner. Reckon that's how come I never hearda him. Other'n the Beatles n' that feller that sells flute music on them infomercials I really don't pay much attention to foreign misuc. Them Irish gals that do that "raindance" thang are purdy good though. :spinner
