So very true. I lived there for 2 years. It was cool at first, but I couldn't wait to get back to Houston after about 6 months. There's something about Austin that just bothers me......a lot. Austin's kinda like a cute old Grandma that wears way too much perfume, thinks she's richer than she is, and never ever shuts up.
I lived in Houston for 17 years. It was cool for a while, but as soon as I was legally able to get the hell out of there I was gone. There was something about the superficiality and the cheesy businessmen that bothered me. Like the only reason someone would live there was because they're in a part of their life where they're only looking for a good job. Houston's kinda like that filthy hooker you got when you were all drunk, but you would have never touched with your worst enemy's penis if you weren't in that mind state. Did I mention Austin is so much better than any other place on the planet?
Issue solved. It turns out that Sam Fisher got on a soap box and opened up his pie hole and started spouting out garbage, the birds flew over and were killed by Nauseous gases.
I'm currently in Chelsea (NYC), epicenter of the mystery gas smells. My wife woke up this morning and noticed that the apartment smelled like sulfur (I was dead asleep). So, of course, she turns the AC on, hoping to get rid of the mystery smell (which she somehow attributed to me). Later, Bloomberg comes on the radio (1010 WINS) and says, "Turn off your AC!" But, alas, the damage had been done, since our AC was on for at least an hour before Lord Emperor Bloomberg told us what to do. So... I hope I don't die. Tomorrow, I'm leaving the city of mystery smells and coming back to Austin, land of the dead birds. Man, I can't catch a break.
mystery gas in NYC, dead birds in austin, C4 explosives found in miami........somethins going down. or at least i would think so if i was any kind of conspiracy theorist.
To add to this: I see on MSNBC that winds are now pushing this large cloud of chemicals from SugarLand into Houston. What are they saying about this down there?
Yes, turns out the gas itself got so nauseous that it vomited gas vomit all over the birds and they died of confusion.

The leak in Houston is some kind ethelyene. People in affected areas are supposed to close all their windows and stay inside. Any news (real news, jokers) on the birds yet? ...now there a gas leak in Missouri. Man, I don't watch the news much, normally. Is it like this everyday?
Brilliant. Unlike Houston (*see hurricane Rita evacuation), Austin prepares in advance for emergencies. Dozens of dead birds can indicate a bird flu outbreak. Austin responded in an intelligent way to a potentially serious emergency.
