Q: What does Texas have in common with William Wallace?
A: They are both things that you should not mess with.
In fact, I have learned that there are 3 things that you should definitely not mess with:
1. William Wallace
2. William Wallace’s girl
3. William Wallace’s freedom (err I mean FREEEEEEEEDOM!)
And yes, I did see Braveheart on TV the other day, why do you ask? Actually we were watching X-2 but flipping to Braveheart on commercials and did get to see the famous FREEEEEEDOM yell.
I actually learned the other day that “Don’t mess with Texas” was a slogan invented by the Texas Department of Transportation to stop litter on Texas highways (kind of like “Don’t trash the ‘Nati) and they own a federal trademark on that phrase.
So, the other day S and I were unloading the dishwasher. He was putting away all of the silverware and I was putting away everything else. He kept interrupting me to tell me where stuff went or how I should put it away. What could I do? So I busted out with “Hey. Hey. Hey. You do your job…. and I’ll do mine” Good Jeff Hilt times….
In other news, this morning I weighed in at an all-time low of 188.8. Well, that’s not an all-time low, my all-time low is probably closer to 8.8, but this is probably close to a 10-year low.

Why does texas get a cool anti litter slogan like “don’t mess with texas” and we get something stupid like “don’t trash the ‘nati” I will never refer to cincinnati at the ‘nati. never ever ever.
I saw snippets of braveheart the other day too! Not very much, though. When is the famous yell? I heard the one he yelled right at the end before they gutted him or whatever, is that the one you mean?
