Get the Houston Astros mug.(aka: H-Town Special) When the Cincinnati Shuffle wasn’t enough, so you go back for round 2. This time with hot, cream-filled doughnuts in both hands used in a pissed off rage.
Billy: “I guess I didn’t do a good enough job the first time! You’ll be begging for mercy when I get finished with this Houston Town Special!”
William: “Dear God, please not again!”

Get the Houston Rockets mug.A great but underachieving baseball team that makes it to the postseason nearly every year and will eventually win the World Series (knock on wood). They are one of the classiest teams ever and have many future hall of famers on their team with Jeff Bagwell, Craig Biggio, Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte, etc. They assembled one of the best postseason pitching rotations in baseball history in 2005 with Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte, Roy Oswalt and don't forget the decent Brandon Backe.

Get the Houston Astros mug.The greatest institute of higher learning in the state of Texas. Far more advanced than any of those other so-called "nationally ranked" Texas schools like TU, or the school with the gaggle of maroon attired morons. The U of H mascot is a fierce predator, and the University's hand symbol is "The Shocker," a popular and entertaining sex act. The only downside to this august bastion of knowledge in the south is the fact that it nearly requires committing a murder in order to find a parking space on the primarily commuter campus.

Get the University of Houston mug.A Group of Extremely Badass longboarders that blast down parking garages at incredibily high rates of speed. HGR dominates at all aspects of longboarding and speedboarding! known and repped by Carve Skateshop! HGR is simply unstoppable! HGR is also widely hated by other texas longboard groups because these other texas longboard groups (ALC and Other fags) get extremely offended by internet bullshit (Chubs ranting) and the fact that HGR is really badass, they just really want to be a part of it but can't because they are simply not badass enough!
