Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced.

I sort of take for granted that tex mex/mexican isn't an everyday thing in Europe and Asia

I'm not a big fan of Buc-ee's, but I saw yesterday that a new one will be built around I-40 and Cimarron Road.

Some of the videos I saw had visitors amazed at bank drive throughs and also yellow school buses. They thought the buses were a myth, lol.


A lot of those videos we're seeing on X are staged / manufactured for clicks.

Why skip the most beautiful state in the union?


More conservatives live here in California than in any other state.

I will personally welcome the European hotties with open arms and personal tours.

I am happy to do my part for our great country.

ETA: just looked it up. Yeltsin. I was off by one

Before Yeltsin there was a Russian writer who was allowed to visit the U.S. with his wife. He was hosted by Neal Boortz in Atlanta, Ga. They visited a large grocery store and the wife said: 'Oh, this must be a place for your government officials.' Boortz said: 'No, this is for everyone.' She started to cry.

Really? I heard rumors they were getting one but I moved before hearing anything. Personally, I prefer OnCue. They have good coffee. Buccees coffee is hot garbage.

I rarely enter convenience stores unless I need to pee. OnCue has the best bathrooms in the OKC metro area.

Dear American Progressive Elite,

What a transcendent masterpiece of irony it has been watching our oh-so-refined European overlords descend upon this fascist wasteland for the 2026 World Cup like Victorian explorers discovering a lost tribe that somehow invented air conditioning and unlimited ranch dressing.

They’re losing their entire minds.

A French influencer had a full spiritual awakening in a Buc-ee’s bathroom the size of Versailles, live-streaming herself sobbing over a wall of beef jerky varieties longer than the Champs-Élysées. “Mon Dieu…they have forty-seven flavors of jerky…and a beaver mascot!” she gasped, immediately renouncing her 35-hour work week.

The Germans...yes, the same ones whose autobahns occasionally pretend to have speed limits, have been spotted doing donuts in rented Ford F-150s the size of Panzer tanks while blasting Kid Rock at volumes that register on seismographs. One was heard whispering reverently, “This…this is what peak performance feels like,” right before shotgunning a 44-ounce Mountain Dew Code Red like it was holy water.

The Italians discovered Costco and immediately declared it the Eighth Wonder of the World. A Roman chef had to be physically restrained from trying to marry a 72-inch pizza and adopt an entire pallet of ranch. “Mamma mia, the samples…they just give them to you!” he wept, abandoning his Nonna’s sacred recipes for a family-sized bag of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos .

Even the reserved Scandinavians have gone feral. Swedes are riding mechanical bulls in cowboy hats the size of satellite dishes, screaming “Yee-haw, motherfricker!” in perfect English while chugging something called “Fireball” that would make their government-issued sadness vodka blush. The Dutch, normally high on legal weed and existential dread, have started every chant with “U-S-A!” and ended it by proposing marriage to the nearest Buc-ee’s cashier.

Meanwhile, you brave keyboard crusaders are having simultaneous aneurysms in your gender-neutral safe spaces because someone had the audacity to enjoy a country without first issuing a land acknowledgment, a trigger warning, and a carbon offset receipt. The Europeans are out here experiencing American abundance like it’s a religious conversion, and you’re still writing 4,000-word Medium essays about how a red Solo cup is settler-colonial violence. Please, keep telling us how irredeemable and terrifying this place is while actual visitors are having religious experiences at Whataburger drive-thrus and treating Walmart as their personal Louvre. The cognitive dissonance is so delicious I want to deep-fry it and dip it in your tears. With maximum theatrical eye-roll and a raised pinky.

P.S. They’ll all fly home soon and resume calling us barbarians. For now, they’re one Monster Energy and mechanical bull ride away from getting “Don’t Tread on Me” tattoos. Cope in 4K, darlings.

They will still return home and laud the accomplishments of democratic socialism and the EU..

Because they are idiots.

It's great for the novelty but can't be taken seriously. On this, it delivers.

Clean restrooms at a service station is a nice convenience.

And they have a great selection of snacks. Sometimes it's good to slow down. You don't need to be in a rush to go everywhere. Getting down and walking around in the middle of a long road trip is refreshing.

The first time in Europe, when I had to pay to piss it threw me for a loop


Our first trip began in Amsterdam… we had to beg for ice. We had to research how to ask for more ice.

Groet ice!!!!

They would laugh at us.

Glad we all agree that America is already great, despite the small things we all complain about.

The unifying impact of this event has little to nothing to do with the games themselves and everything to do with how welcoming the American people have been to our guests. That the visitors are bucking their programming is refreshing.

Since that’s the normal experience of being in America, we can ignore this pathetic response.
