Well, got my new family member added to the group. Not fired and won't be. I plan on putting this in a nice shadow box for display. Here is a big WHOOP to Governor Rick Perry for so kindkly signing and friends who helped make it happen. Just had to show it off.

Nice!

Keep the gun, but send the photos and autographs back to Rick.

Well, I did not buy it for politics. I was at A&M when he was there. Even listened to him on the field and other events. AGGIES are family, even if we don't agree with all of our siblings all the time. Still it was nice of him to add the GIG 'EM and class year. That was why I sent the photos I sent to show off A&M.

Very nice, congratulations.

No need to apologize.

...from a fellow Aggie.

With all of the autographed photos and such, it may become a valuable collector's piece. Especially, if he runs for president. It will become even more valuable if he wins.

Perry has excellent handwriting.

Yes he does. It is nice that you noticed.

Which explains why so many run off to College Station and come back married to a family member.

What is your point? A husband and a wife are members of a family. If a man runs off to College Station and marries a woman when they come back they're a family.

It was an attempt at humor... (the inbred aggie type of joke)
I guess I should have used a smiley chosen better phrasing.

That would have worked better with someone from UT/TT/TCU.

Disclaimer: IANAA, I Am Not An Aggie. I took the post to mean that many young men and woman who go to school at Texas A&M meet their prospective spouses there.

Exactly... and if they're already family, it's like going to family reunion for a date...

At least that was the leap I was making in my head and it seemed funny at the time.
Then I failed to articulate that well at all. Now we're all confused and some seem offended.

The net-net: Aggies make better aggie jokes than the rest of us do, but we all laugh at Aggies.
(especially in bowl games) <-- haha I couldn't resist.
