As I am not a cultural native to Texoma, I can only speculate at what is and isn't a 'Texoma thing'.
You'll catch on.

Just got myself a *cough* totally legal *cough* copy of Clutch's new album. Listening to it now. It is quite tasty.
I can see what wikipedia meant by them getting more bluesy. Now I want to go get all their other albums to hear how they sound.

Wow. I really need to get me some of that popcorn for reals. These imaginary truckloads just aren't doing the job right.
I think I'm gonna have to go to burning man next year and claim some.
Anyways.
@aston: Only checked your profile and intro now dude, so now I see why you asked about karate-do. Yeh Kushido is pretty much a mix of Shotokan and Goju-Ryu, leaning towards the Goju-Ryu side.

Have come across kushido, seems to be much closer to Goju-ryu than Shotokan, at least from the girl I met.
