The small town of Alpine, Texas, is not to be confused with the Alpine mountain range. Lord knows the temperatures don’t confuse the two. Anyway, this town has a sense of humor about its community. Listing all its stats, it’s then added them into a total with some simple arithmetic. Who said anything thing about inflated numbers?
So, while Alpine might not boast soaring peaks, it undoubtedly reaches great heights in laughter and camaraderie. A place where locals embrace their uniqueness and find joy in witty number crunching, all while sipping on sweet iced tea and basking in the Texan sun!
Longest Horns
Well, hold onto your cowboy hats because when it comes to self-explanatory names, the Texas Longhorn takes the crown – or, should we say, the horns! If there has ever been a cattle breed with a self-explanatory name, it's the Texas longhorn.
Bred in Texas and featuring a hefty and long set of horns, calling it any other name would be insane. The Texas Longhorn in this picture is called Poncho Via. It currently holds the Guinness World Record for the longest set of horns, which stands at 10 ft 7.4 in. That's wider than the face of the Statue of Liberty!
Hat House
Now, prepare for some wild west excitement because this place has become the hottest spot for both tourists and locals! You'll find folks driving by all day long, eager to capture a snapshot of this one-of-a-kind gem. This hat-wearing house can be found in Huntsville, Texas, and it's even cooler than it looks.
It was completely made out of donated or recycled materials so it's both eye-friendly and environment-friendly. It is quite a tourist attraction — tourists and locals drive by this house all the time to take pictures of it. It shouldn't be hard as the massive cowboy hat towers over all the houses around it.
Big Nachos
Oh, the delightful mystery of nacho sizing – it's like they've cracked the code to the perfect nacho-to-behind ratio! You walk into the joint, and lo and behold, they claim to tailor your nacho order to the, ahem, size of your posterior. This is an interesting statement as we know people come in all shapes and sizes.
Are they suggesting they will match the portion of nachos to the size of the customers behind? Either way, there is free wifi available so you can upload a picture of your nachos when they do eventually arrive.
Attention!
As you may have deduced from reading this list, firearms are relatively common in Texas. Shocking. We know. And you can never be too careful when you have all these guns around. This sign is a perfect example of that cautiousness. With an air of humor about it, the owners of this establishment clearly don’t want people to take their firearms out of their holsters.
However, if you are doing so to help them with someone trying to rob them, you will be thanked. Texans' love for firearms is as big as the state itself, and this sign is like a friendly reminder to keep things in check while still embracing that Wild West spirit.
