Little Buck-a-rooski

Erika’s English class just read a book on a German family that immigrated to Texas. When she told me that part the homework project was to design hypothetical bumper stickers for this family, and asked for my help, I began salivating at the possibilities. Well, mentally.  This was too good to be true.

As my mind started racing to find a link between, say, schnitzel and rodeos, (which I didn’t) I began envisioning a hilarious blog post and realized that this might sound contrived.

But it was true. She was waiting. She didn’t like “Y’All-wohl!” or “Tex-Becks.” The sad thing is that I didn’t think of any great ones. I thought of a good one if the family were from France - “Remember the Álamode” – but no real keepers for Germany.I guess you could do "Remembeer the Alamo." The best I could come up with encompassed the V for W thing (Vote for George V. Bush or Dallas Covboys Fan), some fun with “and” (Texas A und M) , or a combination of both (Insured by Smith und Vesson.)

Maybe the gift is gone.
