On behalf of the Texas Ministry of Counter Culture, it is my pleasure to welcome all newcomers to Texas.

In lieu of the usual Welcome Wagon basket, I'd like to present each of you with a complimentary, handmade armadillo handbag created by skilled Confederacies of No Stinking Taxes (CoNST) craftspeople:



Inside you will find samples of local treats such as Lone Star beer, Big Tex Happy Tacos, and jars of Armadillo Jelly (don't ask).

Since we have a number of new Texans, we thought we better put some steaks on the grill! How do ya' like 'em?

Porterhouse


or

Filet


Or just try some of Dewey's Top Shelf beverages! That's some good stuff Mr. Joint Vice President!

[Ukroatia]

That Porterhouse looks pretty good. Can you dab some worcestershire sauce on mine and cook it bloody.

[TimDauwalter]

I can't decide between the porterhouse and the filet. I think I'll have one of each cooked medium rare. I suppose you know how I like it from the thread I started called "how do you like your steak?".

Glad you enjoy the drinks Big Tex.

I would have brought a larger variety, but I expect a few others to come forward (looks in the direction of da captain). If he doesn't show, I'll supply, but I know it's his specialty.

[Ukroatia]

How about some Texan Bourbon

Woohoo, welcome to our Nasicournian visitors!!

[HotRodia]

Sam detected the odor of finely grilled steak wafting across the courtyard. He tilted his head back slightly and sniffed, getting a more precise idea of the location of the source of the delicious aroma. He followed his nose around several corners and a very large statue of Big Tex and saw...the biggest BBQ setup he had ever seen! He immediately pulled out his cell phone and dialed his contact at HotRodia Tequila. He put the phone to his ear and heard someone pick up on the other end.

"Hello, this is BillyBoBob Brothers, Head of Distribution at the corporate headquarters of HotRodia Tequila Vendors...

"Hey B! This is Sam calling. I need a truckload of tequila pronto! You can find me the usual way, just track the signal from my phone."

"I'll get right on it."

"Thanks B. I'll see ya later at that charity ball."

"Yep. Bye now."

[HotRodia]

Sam sauntered over to the buffet table, and noticing that there were lots of vegetables for use in the tacos and hamburgers, decided to make himself a light salad to start with.

[Lady_Chrystalia_II]

The elven Lady and her ambasssador arrived at the BBQ with a case of both Irlissi and Domesal meads. After placing the cases in the bar area, Lady Chrystalia Silvermist asked for a glass of water.

"I am sorry,” she said to the young bartender, when he looked disappointed, "But my physician has so instructed me."

Ambassador Aratauril Laishe ordered a glass of Irlissi Mead. "Your Grace, please sit and allow me to inquire about their vegeterian dishes."

"I will sit if you stop addressing me so formally at an informal event and if you will sit with me," absentmindedly she pushed back a stray lock of silver hair, "I am confident that our host will be able to find two elves in such a gathering."

[HotRodia]

Sam was carrying an enormous bowl of salad that had attracted many astonished looks across the courtyard when he noticed a familiar silver-haired figure sipping a glass of water alongside one of her countrymen. He changed course and approached the two attractive elves while smiling widely. As he drew near, he began to speak.

"I know it's a cliche, but everything is bigger in Texas," he said while holding the salad bowl out for his elven guests to view the hodgepodge of succulent vegetables he had thrown together. "Shall we join the others in the main dining area? Or would you prefer to eat in a more private setting?"

[NewTexas]

Texas Greetings to our esteemed Elvish citizens! And welcome to the Never Ending BBQ!

For your culinary pleasure, we have whipped up a smorgasbord of Bar-B-Que'd Texas vegetables! We would be delighted to partake of some of thine Elven Mead!

Enjoy Lady Chrystalia Silvermist (and entourage)!
