New rule.... you can't say your from Austin if you live in: Manor, Cedar Park, Roundrock, Georgetown, Sun City, Kyle, Buda. Admissible is Westlake and Pflugerville.
Recently my fishing partner & I were in Port Aransas and during the course of our weekend we met other people there and TWO conversations went like this:
THEM: You down here fishin'
US: Yes, goin' out tomorrow
THEM: Where y'all from
US: Austin
THEM: We are too!!
US: We are from South Austin, how about you
THEM: Oh, we're from Roundrock.
Please. You don't pay taxes in Austin, you probably don't like us because we are too liberal and we actually have something that approaches an urban culture, and we have nothing in common!!! You might as well say you're from Frisco or Plano. I've had it. Next time someone tells me that they are from Austin and they're not, I'm calling them on it. I don't care if I meet them on the Great Wall (that's in China), you can't say you're from Austin. Wannabees!

westlake, especially westlake, and pflugerville don't pay taxes to the city either.
if you had respect for your children's high school alma mater, you would amend your statement to exclude westlake immediately.
pflugerville i don't really care about b/c i'll prolly end up teaching there.
OK, Westlake is out. For that matter, so is Lake Travis. Do you hear that people? You're on notice out there.
I vote against Pflugervillians being allowed to call themselves Austinites.
