To my friends, followers, and people who stumbled upon my page,
I wish you all a Happy New Year from Texas.
Not much to say about the up coming year, all I can hope from the world of fanfiction is that I can finish up my current Kantai Collection ideas and maybe do some more MLP.
To my Friends, Followers, and People who Stumbled upon my Page,
So I went down to the local Barnes and Nobles for my monthly new manga run and saw this:
To my friends, followers, and people who stumbled upon my page,
...for reinforcing the Hollywoodisums of Texas Geography and simply not doing the bloody research.
... what else could be expected from the Hitler and Aliens Causing the Apocalypse Channel

Why? What did those nitwits botch up now, pray tell me?

They are running a special on the Texas Revolution called "Texas Rising", even if I wasn't a living historian I would be pissed. We are not a dusty desert, there are no mountains any where near where the war took place nor large cliffs.
3098497
This. Is. TEXAS! *kicks Santa Anna off the cliff*
(Sorry! I couldn't help myself!)
Note: This post is in no way meant to reflect my actual knowledge of or feelings on the matter.
Oh the history channel gone way past there normal selfs
3098590
*facepalms* Thank you smartass
3098601
No shit
3098614 can they please drop the whole history
3098497 Yeah, I heard about that, but I haven't watched it due to me liking my history based on actual history...whether it's about the Texans fighting for their independence from Mexico (you know, sometimes I don't think that those idiots down there have ever actually accepted the fact that Texas doesn't belong to them anymore), or just whatever.
I also prefer actual documentaries over...whatever Texas Rising is.
Which is another reason, even though I've long been fascinated by the Vikings and their era, I've never watched the Vikings TV series, either.
And as to the History Channel screwing all that up, yeah, they did a bang up job on all of that, didn't they? Heck, you don't have to watch stuff on San Antonio to know about the Alamo, and what happened there.
And you're right about the bit about Texas notbeing all desert; etc. Heck, I lived in the Arlington/Fort Worth-Dallas/Waxahachie area for about 2-3 years before we moved back to Missouri, and I know for a fact that that area ain't any one of what you mentioned!
Does Texas have deserts and mountains? Sure it does...just not where what's shown in Texas Rising shows them to be.
So way for them to insult someone who's both a historian, and a Texan!
And a native one, I'm assuming.
Btw, I love your state. It's one of my favorites!
3098665
They just showed "Nacogdoches", which in RL was a rather large city in the colony in a forest... apparently it's in a desert and small...
Born and breed Texan who has been to most of the places they are "showing". There is so much history, so much information out there they don't have a damn excuse for screwing this up.
To any one else reading, we do have mountain but they are far to the west along with the desert. Most of the state is plains which can be arid is nowhere as bad as a desert.
3098688 Oh, really? Even i knew that, and I'm from the Ozarks in Missouri!
(Well, to be very honest, I was born in Arkansas, but raised in Missouri. I think I only spent the first hour or so of my life in Arkansas, and the rest of it in the Show Me State, which I consider my home state, and myself a native Missourian.
)
Evidently they were too danged lazy to do their research right.
Ah, a worthy heritage, and one to be very proud of!
And yeah, I hear ya there!
Yeah, I know that. One of my uncles (who's since passed away) did his US Army basic training at Fort Bliss (I want to say), and he always said that it was miserably hot and dry the whole time he was there!
3098715
I am a Texan, a heritage to be proud of but one that has its black marks, I am also an Unionist so that sets me apart from many of my fellow Texans. I've been to Goliad, Gonzales, the Alamo, San Jacinto, and spent five freaking years in Nacogdoches, and none of those places look like what they are showing.
History Channel? They usually make insulting claims about ancient civilisations that say that aliens built them, as if ordinary human beings especially ancient ones couldn't have built magnificent structures and cities.
3098733 Well, you should be, and that is true. But I think that all of our 50 states have those (my own Missouri included there).
Really? What's a Unionist, if you don't mind me asking?
Wow! Sounds like you've been pretty much all over the place down there! I think that the only places that I've gone in Texas are the ones that I listed above (minus Grand Prairie and Maypearl). The others...well, I can only hope to be able to see them on day.
Especially the ones like Goliad, the Alamo, San Antonio (my brother-in-law was down there last weekend (the 15th through the 17th), on business for the mission thing (Haitian Island Ministries) that he and my next-younger sister founded like 25 years (or so) ago), and San Jacinto...any of the ones to do with the war for Texan Independence.
(I really, really wanna be able to see the Alamo someday, though. That one, especially, if none of the others.)
That's my dream, anyway.
Oh, I have no doubt about that! If it has nothing to do with Hitler, aliens or Bigfoot, they don't care enough about it to get it right!
Which aggravates me to no end...as I'm sure that it does you.
3098833 Yeah, really! It's just like our ancient ancestors didn't have the brains, the ability or the wherewithal do build such magnificent structures.
I think I saw one of their programs (can't remember the name of it arm) once where some idiot said that the only reason that the Pyramids were the last of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing was because of alien technology and knowledge!
Biggest pile of horse-apples that I'd ever heard in my life!
Needless to say, I don't watch much stuff on there anymore.
And it used to be one of my favorite channels.
3098833
They even gone to have more modern situations being caused by aliens... oh Hi Val, how's Malta?
3098837
With how I use the term, Unionist means I side with the US during the Civil War. Being a reenactor that means I am an Union officer when I'm dressed out.
Been out to Ft. Davis (the mountains, some of which are pretty tall) twice, passed though the Panhandle and saw parts of the canyons on the way to New Mexico, went to school in the Piney Woods, and been up and down the Coastal Plains, and of course I live in Central Texas.
If you even get the chance it's worth seeing the Alamo, but remember it was only part of the war
3098870 Ah, okay. Thanks for explaining that.
And that's very cool. One side of my family (my great-grandfather (or was it my great-great-grandfather?; I forget) on my dad's side) fought for the South. I guess that that's why I consider myself a Johnny Reb.
And to be fair, Missouri is below the Mason-Dixon Line (I think the northern-most state line is part of said Line, but don't hold me to that, okay?). So I think that that makes me a legitimate Daughter of the Sunny South.
Cool. As I said, it sounds like you a well-traveled lad.
That's why I hope that I get to do so someday, but we'll see.
And I know that well. Santa Anna met his defeat at the Battle of San Jacinto, right?
3098870 Oh, the usual. People grumbling and debating about local politics, local news, Eurovision, African migrants and village festas. But I can definitely say that Malta has significantly improved since the last general election.
3098590 lol
3098497 unless someone has asked you for your mix tape then I have one thing to say to you: get in line, bitch.
3100858
What did the HaACA Channel so to earn your ire?
3100917 i thought we were talking about stereotypes.
3101078
Kind of since the special went with the old stereotype of Texas being a giant desert. Even before all the rain we just got we weren't that arid.
3099685
So same old, same old. Though down here we can add massive flooding and a crap ton of rain
3101092 I wouldn't be complaining, that time frame happened to feature one of the most bad motherfuckers in the history of the United States, Jim- I was bedridden with tuberculosis but still sent Mexicans straight to Hell -Bowie.
3101095 The crap to of rain and flooding can be added during autumn and winter months at our end. The summer months is usually rainless but due to Malta being a small island the air can still be humid, making you feel very sweaty.
3101712
We've been in a drought for the better part of 5 years, and been raining nearly every day for a month. Needless to say the weather has been real interesting.
3101726 So is ours. Usually in May I would start getting all sweaty during daytime after minutes outside, but the weather has gotten a bit cooler. Though in my opinion it is better to start summer with cool weather than hot weather in the Mediterranean.
3101748
Oh humidity how I hate you, I can take the dry heat easily but humidity? Everyone is miserable. Right now we're just trying to get everything cleaned up before we get with more rain, though good news is the two principle reservoirs for the area are nearly 60% full
3104461 You get dirty rain too? We usually get them when the soil from North Africa flies overhead us, mostly in spring and late winter. People who had just cleaned their cars, windows and their clothes left to dry after washing get very frustrated when that happens.
3104560
Kinf of, we do get affected by the slash-and-burn fires in Mexico and Central America, and I do live rather close to a strip mine
3105279 Argh! My sympathies to asthmatic people in your area.
3105369
Ask us not about asthma instead ask us about allergies and why we roll our eyes at New Yorkers complaining about the start of allergies three months after allergy season starts down here.
3106649 I would imagine New Yorkers already having allergies due to their city being full of air pollution.
