Texas Internet Urban Legends
Urban myths are fast becoming a mainstay of the Internet and Texas, being perfect and godlike, perpetuates the biggest myths of all! This first one got a staffer at The Daily Texan, the University of Texas' daily rag, in hot water awhile back. It runs as it appeared in a mass-mailed email message. But they're all a laugh riot!

A friend of mine from UT passed this story onto me from the "Daily Texan" - the University of Texas newspaper. Apparently it occurred during Fall Premier -- a UT tradition that is a celebration of the end of midterms. -- Jeff


This guy went out last Saturday night to a party. He was having a good time, had a couple of beers and some girl seemed to like him and invited him to go to another party. He quickly agreed and decided to go along with her. She took him to a party in some apartment and they continued to drink, and even got involved with some other drugs (unknown which).

The next thing he knew, he woke up completely naked in a bathtub filled with ice. He was still feeling the effects of the drugs, but looked around to see he was alone. He looked down at his chest, which had "CALL 911 OR YOU WILL DIE" written on it in lipstick.

He saw a phone was on a stand next to the tub, so he picked it up and dialed. He explained to the EMS operator what the situation was and that he didn't know where he was, what he took, or why he was really calling. She advised him to get out of the tub. He did, and she asked him to look himself over in the mirror. He did, and appeared normal, so she told him to check his back. He did, only to find two 9 inch slits on his lower back. She told him to get back in the tub immediately, and they sent a rescue team over.

Apparently, after being examined, he found out more of what had happened. His kidneys were stolen. They are worth 10,000 dollars each on the black market. (I was unaware this even existed.)

Several guesses are in order: The second party was a sham, the people involved had to be at least medical students, and it was not just recreational drugs he was given. Regardless, he is currently in the hospital on life support, awaiting a spare kidney. The University of Texas in conjunction with Baylor University Medical Center is conducting tissue research to match the sophomore student with a donor.

Any information leading to the arrest of the individuals may be forwarded to the University of Texas Campus police, or the Texas Rangers.
How about another?

An anonymous girl, let's call her Jen, is a junior in a Texas college. Like all college students, she is wrapped up in the partying and the wildness college life has to offer. Jen, being the computer science major that she is, does however have a lot of work to do on her computer, so when she's not out having a good time, she's working her butt off designing computer programs and installing software.

One day soon after she had broken up with her boyfriend, she was home alone on a Friday night for the first time in the three years they had been dating. She was sad, alone and depressed, so she decided to make a new homepage. She was playing on the net when she decided to get onto a chat line.

Being the wild psycho she is she decided to get onto a sex line. So Jen got onto a sex chat line and started playing around on it. Over the line she met a guy who identified himself as Jeremy. She started playing with him, she gave a false name, saying her name was "Katie" and started getting into detail about what she would like to do to him with her tongue.

He responded by telling her to picture being naked while his hands ran over every square inch of her body. Soon they were having cybersex. This went on for awhile, and then she got off the line agreeing to meet him back on the line the following night.

Saturday night rolls around, and Jen is on the line with Jeremy again. They become even closer this night, so they continue like this for a week. At the end of the week, they started talking about other things, and got into very intimate issues and feelings. They became close, exchanging their lives.

Jen didn't tell Jeremy she was in college, because she was afraid of sounding like an immature college girl. She felt guilty, but after a few weeks, she really liked this guy. This went on for months, and months turned into a year. By the end of the year they had exchanged the most intimate thoughts, and yet had never even spoken on the phone. They were afraid of ruining the mystery.

They finally decided they had had enough. They wanted to meet each other; they were in love and had to meet. They didn't care about age or looks or anything but each other. Jeremy told Jen he thought she could be his next wife. Jen was weary at first but decided she didn't care how old he was or how ugly. She loved him and he was the only one she could feel comfortable with. So they planned a trip to meet in Vale, Colorado. They were going to spend the weekend together and finally meet.

Jen didn't want the hassle of having to find him, so she said, why don't you just get the room and we'll meet in the room that way there will be no mistake. Jeremy agreed.

Jen showed up at the resort first, and checked into the room, telling the desk lady to hold the key for the next party. So she went into the room. She wanted things to be special so she lit some candles, put on some music. She stripped naked and climbed into the bed under the covers, deciding to surprise Jeremy when he got there. The lights were out, the mood was right, and she heard a key in the door. She heard someone walk in and around the corner, and she whispered, "Jeremy?" Jeremy said, "Katie?" (this was the false name she had given him.)
"Yes." she said.

He fumbled for the light, and turned it on to see Jen on the bed naked before him. Then next thing heard around the world were two blood curling screams. Jen covered herself up, and with her most humiliated voice said, "Dad?" and Jeremy said, "JEN!!!"

Now think of what you would do in this situation...now realize this really did happen. Their lives will never be the same.
