Edit:
A close up of Big Tex's belly from the photo directly above. Is that a face? Two faces?
Developing . . . Here's a video of the whole thing -- start to finish. Five minutes.
Edit: The initial smoke . . .
Edit: And we'll wrap it up with some on-the-spot comedy:
Edit: Ok, one more. As with other great American disasters, the mayor needs to show up. And tweet about it.

people who burned Big Tex down will hear from all of us soon."

Serious bummage.
I expect to hear from President Obama in the Rose Garden by this afternoon. And he better not mince words.
How the heck did that happen?
Clearly an act of terrorism! Lets have a congressional investigation.
Now Big Tex is black like everyone else there. Diversity is cool.

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it
Will there be a Burning Man Festival in Texas?
He was holding in all those racist comments for too long. He was bound to blow!
I thought Big Tex gave up smoking.

Deep Fried Tex, why not...they deep fry everything else. I think this needs to become a yearly tradition.
I hope Bush has a good alibi, because he is going to get blamed for it.
Good thing it didn't happen after Texas-OU game...
Too bad they couldn't let big tex go and let rhome burn.
Told him not to eat off the midway!!

Just saw the Virgin Mary in the flames....wow!
"Howdy, smokes"
I hope the voice behind Big Tex had a good sense of humor and went down with the ship by using that mic as long as it kept working.
"Howdy, folks! Feels like somethin's burnin' in my britches!"
"Howdy, folks! Could someone please call 911?"
Momma Tex must not have taught him to "STOP, DROP AND ROLL"

That second face in the flames looks like Lenin. See? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lenin_CL.jpg
He must have bought a 1000 shares of Google yesterday morning.
There is a 100 percent chance that this will be the 8:40 bit on the Ticket Monday morning.
I thought they were trying a new fried Tex instead of smoked!
Big Tex couldn't take another apology to all Texas fans.
Yes, two faces....the left is an angry Chewbacca and the right is slightly panting retreiver, looking right at you. Amazing. I now worship the angry Chewie, and his earth form, the panting retreiver.
how else could they get people to come out to the fair, now everybody wants to see Big Tex dead.
Terrorists!
This is a preview to December 21 2012
It's coming...are you ready?
Romney's 5 point plan would have prevented this from happening
Sure glad they're taking the remains to an undisclosed location. Never know if someone will try to finish the job. Channel 8 reporters at their best.
I knew the boy's bad habits would catch up to him some day.
That video is funny right thar... I don't care who y'are.
My, my, I like Frito Pie,
Drove my Chevy to the fair when the weather was dry.
And those good ol’ boys in the stockyards cried.
Singing this was the day Big Tex died.
This was the day Big Tex died…
Engine 51, Squad 51, respond to "The Great State Fair of Texas". Big Tex is smokinnnnn'!
"Oh! The (non)humanity!"
Judging by that last pic, and similar to the Hindenburg disaster, all hands were NOT lost

The sad thing is that Big Tex still thinks Mack Brown had a worse time at the fair this year.
He knew the dangers of smoking before he started...even if it was his first time.
I find it hard to believe the Texas Railroad Commission didn't require him to wear flame resistant clothing on the job. Those new jeans must not have come from Walls!

IF THE RHOME CITY COUNCIL WOULD QUIT BEING A HORSE ANUS AND GET A PAID FIRE DEPARTMENT, THIS WOULD HAVE NEVER HAVE HAPPENED, AND BIG TEX WOULD BE SAFE!
Rage, We don't need to know your plans for the weekend!
Was BT wearing hot pants this year?
Rage, We don't need to know your real name!
Burger King has an excellent marketing opportunity here with their "flame broiled" burgers.
Hope they make him with a little bigger rear end the next time.
i heard that big tex had made it know he would vote republican right before he burned down
8:34, he was probably handed a pre filled out ballot at rhome city hall
