According to wiki Texas is one of the 50 states. Most people don't know much about Texas but they have a region they call the Panhandle.


North Texas. Known only for giving Oklahoma a funny shape. Incidentally most people elsewhere in Texas (Texites? idk) look down on North Texas "the Panhandle" as they do Oklahoma for being ugly, boring and dumb.

Pictured: the so called "Panhandle" of Texas (Dumb!)


Of course depending on where they live in Texas they also think this about East Texas, West Texas, Central Texas, and South Texas. One of the coolest things about Texites is they like to talk about how big and great the state of Texas is while actually hating the rest of it.

Pictured: the State of Texas being dwarfed by the rest of the country and as typical benefitting from Alaska not being to scale

note: apologies to Louisiana and the Mexicos, I couldn't get the text box that small on a map this scale

Anyways Texas is fricking retarded for calling that the Panhandle.

This should be the Panhandle of Texas.



Ergonomic modern design. Horizontal on a standard North-up map orientation. East-West. Why would a Panhandle be vertical? Is the pan that is Texas so fancy that it's hanging from a rack above the center island instead of shoved in a cabinet like those normal regular state pans? But wouldn't that say more about the house Texas is in?

Or maybe the awkward and bulky Texas "Panhandle" is buttfricking the Oklahoma Panhandle in a perpendicular fashion.

Idk

Holy shite! It has the same ergonomic design even! Wow even Florida gets it.



Hopefully we can all agree and I appreciate you letting me educate on a cute little fricking retarded idiosyncrasy of this quaint and often overlooked state.

Texas transplants are annoying AF, especially in the North

They will make a point of letting you know they're a Texan, they will talk about how bad the new state they live in is, and they will be sure to mention Texas used to be it's own country and that it is the X largest economy in the world.

Then when you don't care, or incite them with jokes about the current state of Texas football, they will freak out

Silly me, I always assumed they were talking about West Texas when people say "the panhandle".

I still feel like with either handle, the pan is still pointed downward and loss of breakfast will occur.

I'll agree. I'm just not seeing a panhandle. I suggest a new nomenclature.

As a Texite, I think I speak for all Texites when I say this was fricking solid.

I, like 1/4 of NWA, used to live in Texas.

The scene from Linklater's Jack Black film "Bernie" describes the regions of Texas simply and well.

When I moved to Texas and folks talked about the Panhandle I thought they were talking about the western part of Texas including El Paso, just like the OP is arguing for, but nope, everyone says Amarillo is the Panhandle. OK Fine.
Then people talked about West Texas, so I thought, Ah El Paso (You can't get anymore West). Nope they say West Texas means Lubbock. So I asked, what area is El Paso? They say El Paso is just El Paso. Throw in the fact that they call North Texas the DFW area instead of Amarillo and you have one confusing state.

This is a terrible thread. You should feel bad. I hope you're trolling.

No no no. Your assumption was logical and well-founded. Not silly you. Silly Texas.
