From Here
Why is it that when anyone not from Houston asks about Houston, the people from here brag about the size?
In other words, why is it that when someone talks with someone else who is born and raised here, the person from Houston brags about the size or population? There are other cities bigger than Houston.
Is that a self-esteem booster?
Not only that, the ridiculous thing is, who cares if Houston’s city limits are so large? It’s not like the downtown area is that big. When everyone said, “Houston is 600 square miles, bla bla bla,” I expected some big downtown. But instead it’s like 5 skyscrapers and that’s it. Downtown is NOTHING. The rest of “Houston” is basically suburbs. Big deal. Your city is a fungus! Congratulations!
And then when you ask for someone to explain why it’s such a big thing that the city limits are large, it’s like that scene in Spinal Tap when Nigel is going on about the amp going to 11 instead of 10.
Nigel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty: Why don’t you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel : [pause] These go to eleven.
