Big Tex was always right there inside the entrance to greet me. Later on, he was there to greet my kids. He truly is one of the most enduring modern icons of the state of Texas and what happened to him is a shame. I wish I had something eloquent to say to shamu and little old man about how maybe we need icons and the memories they bring like that in our world nowadays since everything seems to be going to hell, but I don't. Gorilla got it right though. Edited October 21, 2012 by AflacDuck Blackbart 1

And how did it start up by his head rather on the ground? humm.... sounds to me like a publicity stunt to me..... they even had a funeral for him and they were celebrating his 60th birthday this fair
