BIG TEX IS BURNING

He was 60 feet tall, and dumb looking, but everyone loved him anyway. He actually said a big  "HOWDY" every 20 seconds or so at the entrance to the State Fair of Texas. But about 20 minutes ago Big Tex caught fire.

"My My, Hey Hey...its better to burn out than to fade away."

Heres what he looked like before...



Goin' home to Jesus.

"the mascot was celebrating his 60th year at the fair. An electrical malfunction in his right leg caused the metal-framed giant cowboy to go up in flames Friday morning."

I shall immediately disconnect my right leg from my electricity supply, for fear of suffering Big Tex's fate.

Last night I watched a TV programme about 'global weirding' which included a piece on the terrible drought in Texas. This morning I logged into my blog for the first time in months and there's a post about Texas burning! Cue spooky music.....
