Any last minute tips before we leave tomorrow morning?
AND DON'T LIGHT THE HOUSE ON FIRE. I'm sure they don't like that.

Yeah, let me know when you're passing through Dallas so I can make sure to take a few shots at you myself....
I mean.. I'm heading out to San An tomorrow at around noon...

Go bearing gifts. Find out from Piper what their tastes are (i.e. decorative, practical, etc.), and pick out something that indicates you have enough of an income to support their daughter, but at the same time do not waste excessive amounts of money on frivolous things.
Oh yeah, that will go over well. "Look sir, I bought you some ram to show you I can support your daughter, that you brought up to be a strong minded, aggressive, self sufficient and assertive woman."
Even insinuating that I need "supporting" would be a show stopper =)

2. No mentioning blue butts. Especially in relation to Piper's dad. "You'd look great with a navy behind, sir" is no way to start a conversation.
3. No threatening them with the ban stick. It's Texas. They'll probably get a horse to sit on you or something.
4. No wandering around in your robe warning people of your wizard staff. For some reason that really weirds people out.
5. Beware of regional delicacies. People everywhere get their kicks by getting people from other places to eat "regional delicacies". In your case, the game will be called "Let's see what we can get the Yankee to eat"
6. Do not reference how familiar you are with Dukes of Hazzard, George W. Bush's history, or anything to do with Hank Hill. Talking like Boomhower isn't a good idea either.
7. Iced Tea: Learn to love it.
uhhhmmmm...guess that's it.

Drysart had this to say about pies:
Any last minute tips before we leave tomorrow morning?
If the Imperial March starts playing with either parent enters the room, it's allready too late to run.
If you take something to add to the dinner (if you have dinner at their house), don't take pie or flan. If you take pie, Piper will be trying not to laugh every time it's mentioned (Piper's mom: "Would you like some pie, Tim?"). Only those infused with supernatural evil bring flan to something like this, so you have to avoid it too.
Double check to make sure you have no jewelery or items that might offend them religiously. If you have a crucifix with a (_|_) on it, LEAVE IT AT HOME! If you must wear something, a small, plain cross will be ok.
Clothes. Wear them.
Take some antiacids/anti-gas tablets just before you go in. Even if the food's good, they will help you avoid problems caused by the stress.
If they pull out the baby pics, Piper will try to derail them. Follow her lead. Unless it involves chainsaws and more than a dozen pigs.
Have something bland but filling to eat after you leave. Odds are, you won't be all that hungry while you're there, but you will want something calming on your stomach after.
Don't forget to cast a reflection in any mirrors they may have. Don't let your flesh burn when you pick up the silverware either. Parents look for these things, and they don't like them.
That's all for now, hope it helps.
And don't try to be stubborn on a subject. Thats just asking for trouble. Texans are stubborn enough to be dead for a few years before we decide for ourselves it's a good idea to lay in the grave. 
Dead Horses are being kicked as we speak. Learn this and accept it. You will be much happier in the long run.
If you don't see a shotgun sitting somewhere in the open, be afraid. If it's not in the open it's hidden, and if it's hidden your in trouble because you don't know where the shot's going to come from.
Don't eat the chilli, or anything else thats unfamiliar. They will just lie to you and tell you it's chicken. A favorite past time is watching you eat happily just to see your reaction when they tell you what you just ate. Even more fun is how they wait around for you to wake up after passing out.
Have fun.

I think its a good idea to stay away from politics entirely. Drysart's heathen pansy bleeding heart liberal tendency would disgrace the family bloodline.
I have a picture of Tim wearing a "Rush Limbaugh for President" Tshirt when he was younger.
Come in wearing jeans, a belt with a HUGE ASS belt buckle, a GIANT cowboy hat, a peice of grain in your mouth, a brewski in your hand, and a package of steak for the gift
Fae isn't lying.... We're some evil bastards at times down here...
Also casually mention that Alaska is much, much bigger than Texas.
Have a great time!

LMAO!!! Palador has the funny.

Isnt Alaska almost as big as the continental united states? (Not actual land acreage, like, in terms of how far it stretches back and forth and stuffs)
Cos those bloody map projections at school (You know, the ones with all the lines of latitude and longitude exactly the same space apart?) suck.

Something similar happened to me in Omaha--dude saw my Lexus and vanity plates, and waited for freakin' backup before giving me my ticket.

We're still waiting for California to sink.
And random times you can catch many texans on lawn chairs drinking a beer and watching the west and waiting. Was a disapointing event last year. It's still there.. 
By the way, if I remember correctly Piper used to live just up the street from me. So if you guys are going to be in that area, and have any free time. I'd love to take ya out for drinks or something.
