Good things can come from Texas

exurbia · 20th October 2009, 06:16 AM

Well,
I was amazed when I got my lovely parcel from Mouser, not only do they come from Texas.
They named their town after my Favourite 50's-60's Sex Kitten.
The inestimable Jayne Mansfield

And there I was thinking that Texas only produced Madmen, Oil and general wierdos.
Just goes to show, the media can be wrong.

Anyway the Mouser service was exceptional, I would not hesitate to buy from them in the future.

Actually Texas is a pretty cool place, I have spent a few trips in Austin and landed on 6th and herd more diverse music than anywhere I can remember. Not to mention some of most friendlily hot women around (I digress). Every time I return I am always surprised with some new discovery.

Austin yes, Texas no. Most of it is as bad as Bakersfield, and not as much fun.

Mouser is great, tho...

Hey, don't forget Molly Ivins, Jim Hightower, and Kinky Friedman, author of the immortal country song "Get yer biscuits in the oven and yer buns in the bed".

I haven't used them yet, but there is now an Aussie rep for Mouser.

Occasionally, you can get a better price from Mouser's parent company: TTI (ttiinc.com). They even have some inventory that Mouser does not on occasion. Web site sucks, however.

Well from the country that created Steve Erwin and Paul Hogan, that is like the pot calling the kettle black there mate

Cheers from Texas

Well, you've got me there cobber.
At least that annoying **** Irwin got what was coming to him. Hogan unfortunately is still kicking, hopefully not for too much longer.
I shall probably be pilloried for UnAustralian behaviour, although Aussies are well known for cutting down their Tall Poppies. Not that Irwin or his horrid daughter "Lizard girl" were or are tall. As for that nasty gold digging thing that he married and begat Lizard girl from, the less said the better.

But tell us how you really feel!
