"Poor man's pig" (armadillo)

[bapopik at AOL.COM]

Thanks. Google seems to show twice as many hits for "Texas Crab Grass" as "Texas Crabgrass." I add the word "spinach" to the search.
...
Anybody have "Mexican Martini" (no gin or vermouth, but tequila)? Cattle Baron's Tea (with vodka, served at the Driskill Hotel)? "Dirt Hat"? "Cedar Fever" (they're not technically "cedar" trees)? Does Fred have the 1830s' phrase "Come and take it!"?
...
OT: My wife really likes Austin. Real estate here is appreciating, unlike NYC, where people just ain't payin' more than half a million for my studio. You can get a home for $150,000 in some of the less ritzier places.

Dallas Morning News has nothing for "poor man's pig", "poverty pig", or
"Texas Crabgrass".
