About this ebook

Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit! Delivering belly laughs, hee-haws, and downright slackjaw amazement, this hilarious guide to the homeland of George W. and Willie Nelson is the essential how-to for surviving in the Lone Star State. From strange Texas laws and the history of Dr. Pepper to "Texas Talk" (in which a "turd floater" is a heavy downpour) and final-meal requests by death row inmates, Kinky Friedman, "the oldest living Jew in Texas who doesn't own any real estate," provides an insider's guide that will be loved by native Texans and the rest of us poor devils alike.

Even if you don't know the difference between an Aggie and an armadillo -- or what's really in the back on Willie Nelson's tour bus -- you can pass for a Texan with the Kinkster's expert coaching. So grab your hairspray and the keys to the Cadillac and get reading!

    A very lacklustre effort by the Kinkster here. It all smells of a quick cash grab by Friedman. Friedman is famous for his crime fiction but here supplies some stories from around Texas, including getting stuck into Texas Agricultural students, cat farms, Willie Nelson (always the highlight of any book he features in) and other topics too middling to mention here. I hope Friedman got a decent enough payday from his "Guide to Texas Etiquette".

    Spotty, but occasionally spot-on, as we might expect from the Kinkster's previous track record.

    This is a short book, full of essays, trivia, Ace Reid cartoons, and other short pieces. I've been reading a bit here and there for a couple of months now. Friedman's sense of humor can be a bit raunchy, not for the easily offended, and his essays tend to wander a bit, which can be annoying. A lot of the legends and stories mentioned I'd heard before, but others were new to me and interesting, and every time I've read from it, I've ended up laughing, so it is funny. Overall, I enjoyed it, but I was already a fan, and I've grown up in Texas, so I have some interest in Texas stories.

    Kinky may be our next Texas governor. As a citizen and a reader, I felt obligated to try a Kinky Friedman book.His campaign slogan: "How hard can it be?"
