Dumb Bones Question

Post by CanadianBones on Mon Mar 08, 2010 8:32 am

So this has been bugging me for a while now. Double Trouble in the Panhandle - doesn't the Panhandle refer to Florida(where it borders Alabama right)? And the circus was in Texas... so I'm not sure how the Panhandle fits into Texas. Is it referring to something else???

like I said dumb question...

I got curious and had to look it up; there is a Texas panhandle as well. Who knew?

Wow. I was born in the Texas panhandle and have heard it all my life. I never knew that it was unknown in other parts of the country.

Well i live down under (Australia) so i never had any idea what this meant, so thanks for the answer bug. :L

It is always funny when you talk to people from other countries, and you realise all the weird differences, and things that they don't know :L

Hey cowgirl! No wonder we get on so well, we're both expats! I'm jealous though, you got the panhandle, I was born in Houston. No one wants to be from Houston, even the oilers left for Tennessee.

I'm not from Texas. Never been there, in fact. Panhandle made sense to me... Maybe I was a Texan in another life?

I did not know that it also referred to Florida, though.

Could be, as we're fond of sayin' once a Texan, always a Texan. Maybe that carries over. Smile

I live in San Antonio. Guess since I have lived in Texas all my life..I knew it was the TX panhandle. Of course the DPS gave it away. LOL!! However...just to point out...they never came to TX to film. There is no hills in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. In San Antonio, yeah....DFW...no! LOL!! I had to shake my head. Maybe they ouht to scout out the terrain they are trying to say they are filming in.

Howdy to all the other Texan's out there....and the expat's!!!

And a few well-read souls in the North...though I may have passed through the Texas panhandle when I was but a wee lass of 4 or so.

I have to admit the Florida one is the 1st one I think of, but I did know there were 2--actually, what do they call that part of Oklahoma, you know, the long skinny piece?

I'm gonna assume it's the panhandle too - but then you never quite know with Okies. They probably call it the sticking outtie thing.

And yes, of course my Queen the more erudite northerners such as yourself are assumed to know such things. We would have it no other way.
