The Waco Whorish Invasion of 1952: A Poetic Call to Protect Houston's Virtue

In 1952, the Houston Chronicle apparently published an article about 300 whores dispatched from Waco to the major metropolitan areas of Texas. Houston Press columnist Carl Victor Little wrote quite the poem in response.

"...They're fugitives from Baptist Waco
Converging on Houston, TX
Three hundred gals in Satan's shako
Who put much emphasis on sex."

Texas will probably cut more money from education in the following years due to huge budget debt.  Expect to see more signs like this as a result.

While Waiting for Green Hornet Tix, FanBoys Talk about Houston (Using Swear Words)

While checking in to see if I won tickets for Ain't It Cool's Houston movie ticket giveaway, I saw the following comments... 

Professor_Monster:
I've been to Houston a few times and I will say this -
"The women there are FUCKING HOT! And I mean HOT HOT HOT! Hotter than Austin - Hotter than LA (which by the way is packed with pretty ugly ones - go figure?). Take a stroll through the Houston Galleria and get ready to welcome your dick back from the dead... ...That was the first place I ever had Blue Bell ice cream and man, that shit has to have cocaine in it - it's as addictive as cigarettes."

Fareal:
The Houstonians are a lost people...
"...and they should be left alone."

I like the second one a lot and can only hope the the women of Houston know how lucky they are when ever Professor_Monster is in town.  So. Lucky.

Oh My! Pocket Pies & Houston Railroad Museum: Read About New Food Truck, Get Bonus Museum Tip

2011, you are starting to look promising already.

My sweet wife showed me the website for Oh My! Pocket Pies and I'm already looking forward to some good eats.  Owner Joe Philips had an interview in Eating Our Words, in which he mentioned the previously unknown-to-me Houston Railroad Museum.  And I thought I had found all the museums the city had to offer!

Day one of the new year is a win.
