MINE’S BIGGER THAN YOURS
Texans bragged for years about being, and having, the biggest everything in the country – if you like dust storms and cactus.
Then they let Alaska join the union, and Texas was like Avis, “We’re number 2, but we try harder.” The biggest things about Alaska are the oil spills and Sarah Palin’s imagination that she’s a real politician.
Welcome to beautiful, green, open Minnesota, where we have room to be big. This here’s a wheel off Paul Bunyan’s baby carriage, that Babe the ox pulled….
Wait…. Don’cha want to hear about the giant eagle dropping big fish to make thunder??!

Ah, it’s appropriate that you got to the “big fish” part of the big fish story. Funny take!

Are you intimating that it’s not all Gospel truth?? 😕 Next you’ll tell me Paul’s cousin, Pecos Bill isn’t real either. 😯
Anyway, thanx for the visit. My stats page and I would love a few more. 😉 🙂

Oh no, Paul is absolutely true. And Babe the Blue Ox. It’s just the fish I’m a bit, well, fishy about . 😉

Dear Archon,
I’ll admit that when I read your title I was just a tad nervous. Great piece. I’ll bet I’m laughing louder than you. 😉
Shalom,

I do that for my ‘Murican’ readers. If I spell it the correct, Canadian way, they get confused. 😉 😯

But I thought that was a compass… never mind. Don’t knock Texas, Archon. After ten years adjusting to the hell-like heat (relative to your acclimatization, that is), you’d love it.

For a ‘well-mannered Canadian’, I sure can lob those social grenades over the border. I’ve twitted (not tweeted, I leave that to him) Trump so often that seriously, the wife worries about black

‘Well-mannered Canadian’… I dunno, Archon… you have your moments! Just to give us all a little spice and not be considered so friggen “nice” all the time!!

Yorkshire is quite welcome to join in. There’s more than enough vast nothingness being bragged about, to go around. 😳
Other than the skirts my manly ancestors wore/wear, is there more to your ‘the Scottish Kilt’ reference that I don’t know of?? 😕 🙂
