Yup... Bigger in Texas

Foo was actually not all that surprised when he came across these gigantic boots in San Antonio, Texas. Truth is that when Foo's looking for really big things, this surely is that state that delivers!

Made With Real Buffalo

Considering these two guys were at the Wooden Nickel company where they make wooden Buffalo nickels, it made Foo wonder exactly where those nickels came from... hmmm... ewww.

Cents of Humor

Foo loved the Wooden Nickel Company so much that he decided to get his own custom-made nickels! Iff you see him on the street and get your picture taken with him, you get one for free.

And because not everybody gets the blog's intent, he put this on the back to remind people that they always need a Cents of Humor.

Big Change for Foo

When Foo got to the Wooden Nickel company, he was so excited to find the world's largest wooden nickel there.

He wanted to show just how big it really was so it made cents... er sense, so he pulled up this stump for a Foo-to opportunity.

Never Take Any

That's good advice to never take any wooden nickels, but Foo just couldn't resist going to the Wooden Nickel Company to check it out for himself!

Hog Hut

Apparently this used to be a hot dog stand made out of a pig... but that's just silly. Everybody knows hot dogs don't actually have any meat in them!

Beer Taste Tester

Foo was fascinated to see that they sold Organic beer, and he wondered what that would mean. With five varieties to try, he certainly had his work cut out for him.

Surrounded by his beery good friends of all colors, Foo dug in and slurped them all up. Although some weren't exactly his glass of beer, he did find some of them quite yummy and good to the last carbonated drop.

Seeing Beer Stars

After Foo's encounter with the black church magic, he certainly had an appetite and a hefty thirst. Luckily, it was lunchtime and he found a great place to eat: Blue Star Brewing Company Restaurant & Bar.

Not only did they offer great food, Foo was please to see that he wouldn't go thirsty with all those shiny beer vats... He just wondered what everyone else was going to drink.

Nopal of Mine

After the crazy experience of being made gigantic then shrunk back down to size again, Foo was a little disoriented as he walked back to the car... which led him to fall into this prickly cactus. Ow... although pretty, it was kinda hurty, but at least it brought Foo back from his dizzy spell.

Mission Improbable

Foo was on a mission to see the three ancient missions in San Antonio. He went to Mission Espada first in hopes of finding a good Spanish sword of his very own.

However, as Foo approached the church at the mission, the bells started ringing and a bizarre black cloud-that smelled of strongly of acrid pine, flowed out of the church doors. As it enveloped Foo, he started to grow exponentially in size until he became bigger than all the buildings. But he couldn't have that... he wouldn't be able to fit in the car.

In his super gigantic form, Foo flew into a rage at the idea of his road trip being cut short. He stomped about the complex and finally managed to squash the evil church under his massive feet. Only then did the spell release and he was returned to his normal size. Because of that magical spell, he decided his mission was over and he didn't need to see the other two. Who knows what would have happened to him there?

Got Some Pot?

Foo was looking everywhere for some pots so he jump in here, but didn't exactly love what he saw.

But then he found this one, and he was intrigued, but then he noticed that this guy was just a crackpot, so Foo moved on to other adventures.

It's Timmy Again...

Yup, once again, Timmy fell down the dang well... Luckily Foo Dog was there to convey the message and the falling-prone annoying little boy was once again saved. Foo gave him a swift kick to the butt for his clumsiness.

When Grafitti Attacks

Foo was just casually minding his business, walking along to get back to the car when suddenly out of nowhere a giant pink hand reach down and tried to grab him.

Luckily for Foo, he is quite fast and managed to get away long enough for this pink, robotic fellow took on the hand and saved him from a worse fate.

In the Palm of Foo's...

... oh wait, Foo doesn't have hands, which he remembered only moments before he would have knocked on the door of this palm reading house. Whew... she might have told him bad news.

Aw Foo, Ya Big Nut

Since Foo was in Pecan country, he just had to stop by and see the World's Largest Pecan. And boy... that's a nut!

Flamingo-ing My Way?

Although Foo knows this bird is really called a pelican, Mr. Flamingo (the pelican) looked a little too friendly... if you know what Foo means...

Hey Diddle Diddle

There might not have been a cat with a fiddle, but the little Foo Dog sure did laugh at this sight as the cow jumped over the moon... repeatedly since it was a working oil derrick...

Water(melon) Tower

Foo thought this town took the "water" in watermelons a bit too seriously... well unless their water supply actually tastes like watermelons... now that would be tastirific!

Ruling the Roost

Must be something they're putting in the feed, but the roosters around here... whoa... they grow them big. Well, it is Texas after all...

Making the Cut

Foo is pretty sure he has been accepted as a Texan by this point in spite of his worldly views on a lot of choice topics... Just to prove it, he bought this fancy cutting board. Great cutting his vegetables, it also serves as a handy protection device from flying daggers.

A Hunting We Will Go

Foo really wanted to go hunting, and boy did he land himself a nice buck.

... or two or three... wait a minute... these were already dead!

Palm Funday

Foo is always dreaming of a sweet, tropical vacation, so every time he sees a palm, he just has to stop and dream.

But as he was leaving the town to head out to other adventures, he found a real live one and claimed he could actually hear the sea gulls and feel the warm sea breeze... Oh Foo...

Destined For Stardom

Since Foo eventually will get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, every time he sees a star, he has to practice. Sometimes it's just a paw, but this time, he decided to practice the whole-body impression just for good measure.

Pet Prohibition

As always, Foo takes offense when he's not allowed in certain areas, but then he realized he's really not technically a pet.... but he really didn't want to make the townspeople even angrier after he tried to eat the gingerbread man and the grass...

Attack Tiger

Foo started to try to eat the local foliage, but suddenly out of the brush came the town's attack tiger to protect the grassy snacks. But all Foo really needed was a stern warning, and after much apologies, he got out of the bushes and stayed to the path.

Engine Go Boom

While in Smithville, Foo also came across this memorial. Apparently it is a remnant of a great steam engine explosion of 1911 in which many people died. This leftover piece serves as a memory, which is cool, but the strange this is that the bird on top is part of the sculpture, too... yet there were bird droppings... weird.

Run, Run Run as Fast as You Can

Foo heard that this was the world's record-holding gingerbread man monument, so he had to check it out. When he got there, Foo met Smitty, and he was kind of impressed.

But when he got up really really close, Foo definitely knew he was in the right place. Man was that guy huge. Foo's stomach hurt just thinking about all the ginger sweetness he'd get just get a taste of the big friendly gingerbread man.

Foo never did get his taste though because wow, those gingy boys can run. Foo did all he could just to get out of the way, but when he jumped into the bushes, he found a Gingerbread man that was just his size. Boy was that one tasty.

Floating Hope

Foo came to Smithville for a completely different reason, but when he got there he found out that it was where they shot the movie, Hope Floats. He was so excited, he started running around looking for Birdie, Bernice and Travis, hopefully the little boy might lend him some of his cool costumes. 

Foo-y Godmother

Foo set up this really spiffy ride for his bestest girl friend, Cindy. He found it on the side of the road, but he knew it would be just the way to get her to the ball.

But when Cindy didn't show up after the stroke of the get-to-the-ball clock, Foo decided to jump on in and get himself to that ball hopefully to meet a Foo-y princess of his own!

Ring That Bell

Foo just had to run up and ring this bell, especially since it was at a colored church. But he could see that the church was white, so that confused him a bunch until he remebered that white was the presence of all colors so in effect all white people are multicolored. Puts kind of a big hole in the Nazi argument... don't ya think? 

Gay Church

Foo found the name of this church absolutely fascinating. Usually churches are so ignorant that they don't allow gays into their parishes. This one had so many there was actually a hill of them, and they also advertise the sexual position that is preferred by members. How progressive! Foo has renewed faith in... nah... never mind.

Drinking Trees

Foo heard about this farm that was really ecofriendly, and he wanted to check it out, but alas the gates were closed so he only got to admire the trees. The trees sure were drunk though... just look at all those empty bottles...

Santa's Summer Stopover

Foo really really wanted to meet Santa at his museum because he has a really big Christmas present to ask for. Sadly Santa wasn't there. Although there is Christmas in July, it was still June. He'd missed him by only a day!

Tire-anosauras Rex

Although pretty big and potentially scary, this odd T-Rex, made out of metal wheels was just too shy to come any closer to say hi to Foo. Ah well, Foo is pretty fierce after all.

Parking for Who?

Foo found this sign in a parking lot at the Igloo Cooler factory. He's not sure who this means is supposed to park here... maybe Flat Stanley?

Cool Building

Foo began his big Texas roadtrip by checking out the coolest guard shack on the planet. The Igloo Cooler factory really takes their products seriously!

Foo Will Cut You...

He'll cut you deep. Just beware!
