The "Swagger" -- "In Texas, we call it walking."
Edited on Fri Sep-03-04 12:26 AM by Sparkly
Where I live, we call it walking like a Chimp, palms facing back. I guess women do it, too -- check out Karen Hughes!



Edited to ask: What do they call that particular "swagger" in YOUR state?

1. Actually, in Texas we call it "being an asshole".
Fuck that Conneticut carpetbagging traitor.

18. I don't doubt you do, anyone with a brain does.
I'm just sick of my birth state taking all the shit because the asshole came down there to run his oil patch scams, and baseball stadium scams, and then destroyed the state's environment and economy as governor.

You birthed him, you can have him back. Surely there is a maximum security prison in Conneticut that could house him for the rest of his life.

12. I don't think I want to know.
A fashion faux-pas, or some sort of faith-based anatomy?

5. Actually it is tennis balls shoved under the armpits to look manly
as opposed to Arnold's girlie men.

6. That's IT!!!
I got the palms-backwards part, I couldn't figure out the locked-torso, elbows-out thing. It's tennis-balls in the armpits!

Thank you for explaining that! :D

13. In New York,
they call it "begging to be mugged."

(I lived there for 8 years, but I don't think that's changed.)

15. See instead of saying he made some mistakes he took the easy road
and was just a little self depricating, that way the "Folks" at home will say...Gee wiz Ma that George is a nice feller.

Chickenhawk and a low down liar, and a wantabe cheerleader and a maniac, missing link, wantabe christian and the list goes on, but as you can see I am not part of the base.

25. GOD WHAT A LOAD OF BULLSHIT
I'd call it being a "pompous son of a bitch"

GOD...what's with all these cheesy lines at the RNC? As if Ahhnold's "economic girly men" remark wasn't bad enough...

26. One foot in front of the other ...
... THATS walking.

Swinging your shoulders is an attempt at mimicking a gorilla.

28. Well New York used to like Texans ;-(
Just another thing to thank our commander and chief for....

When my husband and I went up there around ten years ago, I was shocked how nice people were when they saw him in his ten gallon hat and all;-), very friendly and though he felt wildly uncomfortable and doesnt really want to go back, it was not because of the people, more so the crowds....

We are not all that bad you know besides he is not really one of us..he just pretends to be..
