Well heck, that's nice. So only Icky gets your approval, eh? Well good for Icky, he isn't the ONLY New Yorker (and proud of it, I may add) around here you know !!!!!! I thought we were friends .....*sniff* I agree with all you said in your post above.
Actually, I always did like Texans, because I felt next to New Yorkers they are the most unabashedly in-your-face about what they think people in the country.....hmmnnnn......... I'm hurt :-(
