The Confederate Air Force Flies Again!

The Republic of Texas has had an anti-littering program called "Don't Mess Wth Texas" for about 3 decades now. One of the early TV commercials for the program involved Sentimental Journey, of the 'Texas Confederate Air Force', chasing down a pickup truck full of litterers. It was a way cool commercial!

The program is hodling a celebrity faceoff contest, where the TV spots from over the years compete with each other to crown an ultimate most popular. CAF is in the quarterfinals, and needs your votes to come out on top.

You don't have to be a citizen of Texas to vote, and you can vote as ofter as you like. If you vote, you have to vote for all four quarterfinal 'matchups' - so I'd suggest cross voting on the other competitors to cancel out those votes on the overall totals. All we want is to see Sentimental reach the final!

BTW - if you've never seen the commercial, it's worth a watch!

Great Job, WIXers!!!!!

CAF made it through to the next round. Now, we're up against George Strait, and that's going to be a hard one to win. Vote, and vote often!

I know its a pain, but we can do it!

Sorry.., but there is NO WAY we are going to take-out Willie!

Not even a fully loaded '17' like yours can put even a cover of dust on ole-Wille!

Why do I feel like I'm in that episode of South Park where they sit in the forest and kill wild boars for three weeks straight playing World Of Warcraft so they can build up enough experience points?

I'm gonna get carpel tunnel from this.....
