Forget The Alamo! Tennessee Is Dumb

I saw that there Alamo last week while in San Antonio for work. If you don't know the area, I have two things to say:

1. Good

2. It sits on the infamous Riverwalk, which sports a plethora of restaurants and shops. Actually, it isn't bad, but I must point out that the sidewalk that goes up and down each side of the river is really not that wide. I can imagine at least one Mexican kid a day falling in ....because they can't swim...

Hey! (rustling...wrestling...shouting....)

Ok guys...this is Casey again. Someone punched me in the neck and took over this blog for a second. I see they made a racist joke, which wasn't even that good because the joke is black people can't swim. What? Why not erase the racist joke? When you get your own blog, you can erase it all you want ...

Anyway ...the Alamo is nothing to spend money on. You want to know how I know? Neither local, nor state, nor federal government supports the Alamo. They have plastic drop boxes where people drop dollar bills in. I put a *NEW* piece of chewed gum in the box because although I didn't like the Alamo, I am not rude. So I visited the building (size of a small church), and the museum (I put gum there too) and I was underwhelmed to say the least. May I ask why is the Alamo a big deal? Because John Wayne made a movie about it? Because Texas needs some sort of monument to hang their big dumb hats on? The only thing I learned was that the Tennessee Volunteers got the "Volunteer" from sending a bunch of chimney sweeps in to defend Texas.

TEXAS: Hey Tennessee! Free booze if you come down here to die.

TENNESSEE: Well ...death is bad...but Texas did say free booze. Let's go!

Since the battle that took place at the Alamo was almost nothing ...I took it upon myself to re-create this battle to more accurately reflect what took place.

DAVE CROCKETT: Jim B. Dude. I just got my ass beat down by Hector at the saloon.

JIM BOWIE: Great Story Dave. American glory. Save the buildings in this town.

Outside of the Alamo ...what does San Antonio have? What does Texas have? At least New York has Millard Fillmore. At least Ohio has Cleveland.
