yeah, i can't find anything that says he was born anywhere but LA. 

[futureman 22552]

James Allison is from Alice.  He should be on there, considering how many spares are listed. 

[po elvis 2078]

Matthew McConaughey should have made the map since there is a blank space at Uvalde.

This.  And map excludes Steve Martin?  Steve Martin. one of the 5 all-around funniest people in the last 50 years.  Think about that.  Stupid map is fucking stupid.  Delete thread.  

[Fuck Tim Beck 3834]

No Don Henley/Gilmer 

Could have also added Mean Joe Greene and Sammie Baugh for Temple to go along with Rip Torn 

[Your Mom 4853]

Brad Pitt sucks.

Yeah, pretty obvious omission given that they listed Brad Pitt.  I mean, McConaughey also has an Oscar, and its for best lead actor, not supporting.

[ChiTownDoc 21173]

CTD, Lubbock 

 

Weird, I know.  

[Jerry Callo 8732]

What's up Doc?  Tex Avery was born in Taylor and he's not on the map.  

[Brisketexan 105430]

I was born in Houston.  I have lots of internet rep.  This map is therefore invalid.

[ztejas 43545]

Matthew McConaughey

[ztejas 43545]

Also both Wilsons.

Didn't know Barry White was born here. 

[huge 3795]

Homer Bailey but no Earl Campbell

riiiiiiiiiiiight

[Scheiss Meister 8413]

No mention of Scott Joplin in Texarkana.  Invalid map.

[Shaggy3.0 1695]

I'm still looking for Alexis Texas on the map. I mean, come on.  Texas is part of her name.  She's from here.

 

[Braff Zacklin 13665]

I see Muleshoe still hangs its hat on being home to Lee  Horsley. They've had that sign up since the early 90s, at least.

[Hpara759 1780]

Seth Maxwell   aka: Mac Davis

Lubbock

[Pato del Muerto 52615]

Also no BJ Thomas at Rosenberg 

Edited September 22, 2022 by Pato del Muerto

[Da Fino 2785]

No Tommy Tune?

[BonzoMontreaux 1101]

Waco - Steve Martin, Jennifer Love Hewitt

Dallas - SRV

Hubbard - Tris Speaker

 

[YGIFS 19452]

Winters, TX-Rogers Hornsby.  Along with Tris and some others, my god what an infield you could make with Texans.  

Fucking OP/map is absolute fucking garbage.  Fucking delete it before we all go down this shitty rabbit hole.  Which, admittedly, I'm already halfway down.

Don’t forget about ole Hoss Cartwright from O’Donnell

AKA Dan Blocker

[texasdago 7580]

Gary P Nunn anyone?  

Also, you can't drive through Winters without seeing the Rogers Hornsby sign.  We're talking baseball royalty...

That's pretty cool... Google maps shows a picture of baseballs left on his gravestone.

Not even Davy Crockett or Stephen F. Austin. What a bad map.

Spoiler

 

[Cornpop 230]

List sucks, ban user

[YGIFS 19452]

Why no marking for Houston's favorite son, David Koresh?

The Sword and the Sorcerer was his peak.
