Houston area (along with DB's not from Houston) BS thread

woo, hoping to make it out the the galveston county fair and rodeo tonight :3

 

Texans are in general very proud of our history and our state in general and are taught all about it from a young age.

 

The Texas flag is the only flag that can fly at equal height as the US Flag

 

Alright, 8am-ish at D Donuts Sat morning. Just a warning, DO NOT go into the basement to look at anything! It's a trap and you will regret it.

Someone wake Stalker to make the trek too.

 

Where's his shop at again?​

 

2502 S Main St, Pearland, TX

 

Damn, thats going to take me a while to get to lol

 

Next to the Whataburger or wha?

 

Yup, just south o' de wutabooger

 

Right on, donut shop?

 

yes, looks like one of the 50's style gas stations.

 

Lmao, just seent his truck there on Google

 

hangover party?
got it!

 

Learned that one a few weeks back.....during Texas Independence Day.

 

Texas sales tax holiday?!?!

 

Yes, but only on clothing, shoes, and school supplies. There's also limits on the max amount an item can cost so someone doesn't go out and buy Gucci tax free.

 

And usually dealing with the people/crowds/idiots that weekend makes the savings questionable as far as actual value. Reminds me of black friday. If you can handle, or like, black friday, tax free weekend is for you. If not, run away like a raped ape.

 

I knew there was a catch!

 

8.25% is $8.25 per $100. Fuck that. I would pay $20 more not to fight the assholes out shopping. I worked at Old Navy for 11 years of Black Friday's and Tax free Weekend's. It's not worth it.

 

^^^^ This, wife and I tried tax-free the first year for back to school stuff for the kids. After I showed her the savings vs. what we had to deal with, we never did it again.
