IronTiger Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 So there was this post on Metro's Town Center thread that got me thinking:"QuoteHouston's like a fat girl who'll love anyone who'll love her back. She's not real picky.A very weak analogy. Even so, I'd rather be paired up with a loving fat girl than a vapid princess (Dallas) or an overbearing hippie (Austin). The others are just too high-maintenance for my taste. "---The NicheHow would you personify other cities in Texas?For me...College Station/Bryan: Two neighbors that think they're upper class and misunderstood (they're not!) They know Houston really well, but she doesn't really love them back. Waco: A scrawny kid with a bad reputation with his own loser friends (Waco's suburbs) to roll with. Others say he's boring.Brownsville: An unambitious slob who celebrates mediocrity.Killeen: A creepy guy that hangs out near the military base and gives it a bad reputation.

Doesn't care too much about outward appearances, drives an older but paid for Ford pickup that he maintains himself, and a simple t-shirt and jeans will do for everyday wear.Seguin: Hank HillHuntsville: The quiet guy who just hangs out in the background.Conroe: Guy with a reputation for being unfriendly toward certain people in the past. It seems like he's trying to change, but those old ways come out every now and then.San Antonio: The clean cut guy who's done well. Has a MBA, modest home, wife and 2.5 kids. Folks think he's boring and he really doesn't give a crap what they think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNiche Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Seguin: Hank HillRIP, King of the Hill.

I caught the zip code on one of the episodes, and it traced a Beeville zip. I caught the final episode. It was a nice ending, not overbearing or over the top. It really tied in to the overall theme of the show. I see I wasn't the only one who traced that zip code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 To continue this off-topic King of the Hill detour -- It wasn't technically the last episode. The people who make King of the Hill made more episodes than Fox ordered. So there's a few (two or three I think) that never aired. I would expect they'll be on DVD.
