    WTF?!? First I'll hang 'em dead, then shoot 'em dead, then I'll kick their damn asses until they cry for their mommies... the commie sons-o-bitches!!

    EDIT: Well... not that last brunette babe. Her, I'll just spank her bad bottom until she begs for more.

    Oohhh I am going to add them to my travel list and when I meet the Norwegian locals I will proudly announce that I am from "Texas!". lol Funny thing is that I am half Norwegian by birth.

    Excuse me
    I'm Norwegian. I speak the language on top of carrying dual citizenship. What's this about hanging us dead and what not?! Obviously you underestimate us.
    This slang thing has gotten outta hand.

    "Du er gal" means you are crazy in Norwegian. I don't see anything in that phrase that looks anything like Texas.

    It was a joke... maybe not humorous to some... but it truly was a joke. Maybe only we crazy Texans recognize it as such.:)

    A very few reference websites...

    I can understand how this would have offended some Texans, but then we're all guilty of coming up with offensive jokes towards races and cultures. Doesn't mean anyone needs to go around threatening to kill them for it, too.

    It was a JOKE... not a threat. We Texans joke about kicking each others' asses all the time... but we're not serious. LOL!! :D

    Oh... and we Texans are not offended. We think it's funny too... the Norwegians are just picking some fun at us crazy Texans and that's okay!! ;)

    I have a 100 year old traditional dress that's been passed from generation to generation.

    LOL... that's better, good friend. After you kick my ass then we'll have a cold brew and watch cow porn. :D

    But please... don't wear your dress... our fellow Texans might get the wrong idea. :rolleyes:
