@SpaceCityWX @Climatologist49 Funny how the weather projections always seem to follow state lines

@sigg20 Sunday night. The map was wrong with Lake Tahoe on the bottom. Who remembers Hop Sing?

@richcoastrican Milleneum Man. Popeye. Good Morning Vietnam

#Phillies When's the last time you got no-hit in a World Series game?

@Kerr_Kurr I am so sorry about your loss. If I lost either of my sons, I’d be shocked and dazed too. A parent should never have to bury their child. Just know that he’s with our Maker, preparing a place for you, and awaiting your reunion. You will be together again.

@mattlanza Just a guess, but an F-16 ,-15, or -18 could enter such a dive, leaving a plasma contrail. Only explanation I can think of. That, or a rocket departing.

@bennyjohnson She wasn't stunned, and she wasn't silent. Please stop making stuff up.

@BLKAmericans_ Thank God for these valiant Americans.

@TracesofTexas The old USS Texas (not the BB-35 we now know at the San Jacinto battleground) now lies at the bottom of Tangier Sound in Chesapeake Bay. She was used for years as a target for gunnery practice up through WWII.

@LisaVazquezRopr @BayouCtyHistory That was in Hitchcock, off FM 2004 I believe.

@GREGCLUCAS Robert Newhouse comes to mind.

@SpaceCityWX When I lived in Milwaukee 25 years ago, I and other Texas expatriates used to take bets on which weekend summer would fall.

@mental_floss Thank you, Captain Obvious!

@TracesofTexas My mom used to work there

In the original 1836 borders of Texas, the southernmost border of Canada was south of the northernmost border of Texas.

Santa Monica to El Paso is 817 miles on I-10. El Paso to the Louisiana border on I-10 is 857 miles.

Please keep an eye out for my next book, "What Did I Do Now?", to be released on November 32nd (published by Random Hut) at lesser-quality bookstores across America, and some parts of Texas. If ordering online, use the discount code "BR-549".

@TracesofTexas Has anyone noticed the upside-down Texas flag at Jordy’s birthday party, where he’s forced to ride the pony?

[Darrell Pittman @vdpittman]

@Lileks I had read the novels, a big sci-fi fan. When I went to see the 1984 movie version, they were literally handing out definition sheets for the terms (bene gessirite, etc) so that patrons could understand the movie.

@RealJamesWoods I'm watching "The Hard Way" on Starz Action right now. Did you enjoy making that film? It has some really funny parts, like the bar scene where Michael J. Fox is playing your girlfriend.

[Darrell Pittman @vdpittman]

@TracesofTexas Karo syrup!
