One Interstate. One Ranger.


A Baylor blog has pointed out that the Waco City Council has voted to erect a 70 foot statute of a Texas Ranger that will tower over I-35 at the Brazos River. (That's the location of the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame.)

The cost? Probably $650,000+

And the above graphic, and caption, was from that blog - which may be the only reason I posted this story.

What if it tipped over? They should make it look like Chuck Norris.

Is it Michael Young or Marlon Byrd?

Wouldn't they want to put that near the Ballpark and not on some freeway in Waco?

I'm going to preempt AssWhip's post and post in her stead so we don't have to listen to her drivel.

Can you EVEN believe that someone would be so PRESUMPTIOUS as to put up a statue of a TEXAS Ranger? I mean, THIS is the UNITED STATES! How offensive IS that to all non Texans? NOT to mention the fact that it's IN Waco. Come ON people.

***********************************

AND $650,000? Where is THAT money coming FROM? Probably from some NOUVEAU-Riche knob POLISHERS who swill beer ALL day and sit around POSTING on internet BLOGS with their sticky KEYBOARDS.

***********************************

and why would they even PAINT the statue white? WHAT is the SIGNIFICANCE of putting it so close TO the RIVER?



Oh my God. I can't even do this anymore. Typing like that is so f'ing annoying I can't even stand it. Something is very very wrong with that woman.

Good post 9:39.

As for Mexican justice, ask Rebecca Aquilar how she defines justice. She has time to formulate an answer.

I think it should look like Nolan Ryan.

Maybe he could fight the big Sam Houston statue on I-45 near Huntsville.

The Texas Ranger Museum is in Waco

WHY did they pick 70 feet when 12 feet would be twice life size and make a TASTEFUL statement?

I know it. I don't spend as much time slithering around the internet like AssWhip does, do I haven't taken the time to learn all the tricks of the "posting glib and annoying opinions" trade.

I'll try harder next time.

7:51,
Yes please do try a little harder next time. The annoying factor is very important when trying to get your point accross.
Take 12:23 for example.
Now we all know we wouldn't know exactly what Asswhip was trying to say unless it used the annoying factor.
Dumb, pointless, or just annoying....the annoying factor is always a must to truely get your statement accross.
