Ahhh.....I knew I recognized it. Proud home of Swen Nater, first of the European big men to play in the ABA/NBA. Swen's teams went undefeated and won three straight NCAA championships.

I can never give a straight answer to this, and being a white boy in Japan, I'm asked it all the time.
I'll just list the places I've lived and the approximate years:
Detroit and Ann Arbor areas, Michigan: 1979-1985
Beulah, North Dakota: 1985-1988
Bozeman, Montana: 1988-1990
Lake Jackson, Texas: 1990-1997, plus a few months in 2003
Cincinnati, Ohio: 1997-2003
Uozu, Toyama Prefecture, Japan: 2003-2006
Okaya, Nagano Prefecture, Japan: 2006-present
So while my birthplace is Wayne, MI, the place I guess I identify most with is Lake Jackson, TX (a smallish and boring city just south of Houston), as I spent my middle school ("intermediate school") and high school years there. _________________

My cousins went to Brazoswood high school, Im assuming you did too? And ya ill agree with ya its is pretty boring down there... or maybe it was just all the family christmas dinners that were boring. Not too far from the beaches though, a nice upside. _________________ A liberal is a conservative who has been arrested. A conservative is a liberal who has been mugged.

I think every Texan I know has a cousin or two out in Brazoria. I have about 10 living in Sweeney, which I'm sure is about half the population. _________________ This space is reserved for inarticulate meat puppets who have no true perspective outside the refuge of quotation marks.

I think there already is one that was made on the old forums. I'll try and look if I can find it!
