Cows, Cowboys & a Cold Bier – Texas Ranching Brewkraut-Style

Ach du lieber, only in Texas can a man see more cows than church steeples and nobody bats an eye. Back in Bavaria a farmer with five Milchkuh is already bragging at the Stammtisch. Here in Texas?

Love in the Backseat – Uber Style, Texas vs. Bavaria

Zefix nochmal, only in Texas can you get brisket smoke, George Strait on the radio, and a proposal all in the same Uber ride.

Looked like a Bavarian beer keg exploded into the sky, only darker, gooier, and made everybody sehr reich instead of just tipsy.
