OH TEXAS. ♥

Last time I was there, Odessa had a drive-through frozen margarita stand. I don't even know how that works.

Dunno about Texas, but the drive-through daiquiri joints in Louisiana get away with it by sticking a piece of Scotch tape over the straw hole in the cup, and handing you the straw separately. Voila, instant legal non-open container!

You can get go-cups for your unfinished drinks if you're dining in a bar or restaurant, too. DOGGY BAGS FOR BOOZE!

It's the second one that cracks me up. I feel like, "...and?"

What 'and'? There is only Jesus!

The same town, Schulenburg, that has these two signs also has a building with a pro-life monument out front we've always called the Abortion Statue, but didn't get a picture of. It's a tall metal sort of wavy, sinuous shape with two circular holes in it that contain metal full-term fetuses.

Get a photo of it next time you're there!

U C Santa Cruz has a statue we all used to call "The Flying IUD," though I think it was just supposed to be artsy.

Dear God! It's even worse than I imagined.

I take it back! There are actually three fetuses! It's a bit harder to see the third one from the road as you're driving past it.

fetuses? or fetusi?

Ah ha ha ha ha ha yes that.

It's the 'DRIVE THRU' that makes it. (Mind you, we've got a drive-through liquor store near our house up here...no guns, as far as I know, however.)

Holy Cow! You found Jesus!

There used to be a big church (with a giant JESUS flag) near my house that was attached to a Sherwin Williams paint store. Every time we passed it my mother would yell out "Repaint ye! Repaint ye!"

Sometimes my family is awesome.

You know, that reminds me of a story a friend was telling me the other day. A mutual friend (ok, I don't know him as well as the person telling the story) moved to Texas and realized he had found his place when he could take two different routes to a job - Pointblank and Gunbarrel...

Sounds about right! XD
