real men cook their fajita's on the coals, like, meat-touching-charcoal.....sounds weird, but Aldon Brown of the Food Network does it that way, believe it or not, and it's AMAZING.

Re: Texas
My brother and my brother-in-law compete in local BBQ competitions. I understand what you're talking about, I've had good beef ribs but I love a slab of pork the best. I Agree that brisket is the shit, if it's cooked by my brother-in-law. The best stuff I've ever eaten only comes around once a year at our city's competition when we get to eat the excess.
By the way, by the time I took the boat thing at the riverwalk I had already heard all the jokes. All the other boat guys had used the same jokes that I overheard from just walking along the riverwalk. It was kinda corny but a lot of people seemed to like it. There was an old german lady sitting next to me. Germans aren't typically too friendly, and she didn't stray off from the trend. Once I started speaking German to her she became friendly but she started speaking too quickly and then I only started to catch half of what she was saying. Are there many Germans in Texas? When I was in Germany I met a family that is German but that lives in Texas most of the time.

Also, me and my family took one of those "ghost hunting" tours late at night, they meet in front of the Alamo at like, 10PM or 12PM or somethin' like that. The tour itself was cheesy, as we didn't see any ghosts, but they tell you some pretty creepy stories, show you some pretty creepy pictures, and let you use some of their paranormal equipment. It wasn't a bad thing to do, if I rememebr right, it was pretty cheap. You can also go to the neighborhood where a long time ago, a school bus filled with children stalled on the railroad tracks and catastrophe and multiple deaths ensued as the oncoming train couldn't stop. The street names of the neighborhood are all in rememberance of the children who died in the crash. If you park your car on the railroad tracks, and put the car in neutral, urban legend has it that the children will push your car off the railroad tracks where you can coast to safety. Also, if you put baby powder all over your bumper, you can see the children's handprints in the bumper. Of course, this is all urban legend, but it's always fun to mess with, just as is a Ouija board. http://paranormal.about.com/library/.../aa031201a.htm
I enjoy going to Dick's Last Resort on the riverwalk. It's always a nice change in restaurant atmosphere.
